    My face is melting. (in the BEST possible way)
    I have yet to scratch the surface with this thing; completely blown away thus far. The sounds are great, the beats are great, and the 303 is gorgeous. Just beginning? Try this: go to the mixer page. At the top left is the play button. Push that. Up pops a groove and a bassline. Tweak knobs. play with the effects. experiment turning the bassline or drums on and off to build tension. Getting tired of that bassline? Bring up the bassline page. tap the grid where the notes lighting up as each step goes by. WHen you tapped, a bunch of options pop up. Just tap one of those buttons, and the pattern is instantly reworked, in the same key at the same tempo. Instant break. Now hit Undo... and you are back to the original track. This thing is SO EASY AND FUN AND GOOD. Much love to the developer, A+++. Might send back the TD-3... not sure I need it now. Show more

    Yessir! - UPDATES
    It’s still great. Love the logo! ? It just keeps getting better. AU and a few minor bugs fixed. This ones a no brainer! Five star app as it is. Dev already gave a brief roadmap of where this is going. His credentials are impeccable. No brainer as far as I’m concerned. Great job Jim! Show more

    Needs Multi Midi Input
    I wish it had multi midi input like Animoog Z so I could have both my Midi Keyboard and Midi Mixer plugged in to speed up the workflow.

    HORRIBLY crappy app logo and icon on an app that is otherwise generally likable
    So f’ing tired of that retardly crappy app icon and logo. Would be SOOOOOOOOOOO easy for the software engineer making the app to remove that from the GUI and also easy these days to make an alternative icon option in the app prefs. (Suggest a normal smiley face without any “edginess” as most ravers (absolutely the main potential customers) aren’t “edgy” in that way unless they had family issues that need to be addressed through a healing process or need to go to rehab). If the app maker foolishly believes an “edgy” icon will attract some “edgy” younger customers, he is SEVERELY naive and obviously hasn’t heard that mumble rap is the “edgy” music choice of the face tattooed “edgy” younger customers that prefer to pirate apps anyway. This app doesn’t make 808 bass melodies, so is also relatively useless for that genre. Show more

    The Ultimate Acid Trip
    It’s all right here folks. No need to look any further if you want a premium dose of high quality acid app coding. I’ve tried a lot of emulations and also the real deal. This tops it all for the most fun and comprehensive all-in-one self contained experience. The sound is full and warm with definition and detail. The sequencer is a real treat. The scale modes and variation/shuffle function is excellent. It plays well with other apps and I’m going to try and sequence my TD-3 with Pure Acid in the next day or so. I can’t believe I didn’t know about this until a couple days ago. Better late to the party than never. My only minor and petty niggle is that you can’t change the custom colors for the main 303 knobs. If that’s the only gripe I have then this app is near perfect. I can’t keep it closed. Show more
