I love this app. The app is ultimately the coolest app ever, but i have an issue with closing it. The app won’t swipe up to close. It kinda locks in and i have to shut down the entire phone to close the app. Show more

John Cage's prepared piano sounds are inspirational, but this app offers no way to use them with other iPad music apps. If the developers added midi and inter app audio support, my rating would be much higher. More in-app text about Cage and his method would be a great addition, too. There is so much this app could offer users to do and learn. As it stands, John Cage Prepared Piano is neither useful for composition or recording nor is it especially educational. Show more

This app offers a very straight forward look into the prepared piano that John pioneered . Now it's time to make this a full on instrument unto it's self so give us a sample option as well as a pattern sequencer that can quantize these noises and organize them into songs and then send them to anything else as an inter app player . It's time! Please! Peace Christo Show more

The auto bus would be nice. But this is just too cool!!!!!!!!

This app captures the essence of Cage, however like ALL audio apps, it MUST be Audiobus compatible to make it relevant. It would be so much fun to incorporate Cage like sounds and textures into any recording stream. Please make this more than just a stand alone app. You'll sell more apps! Show more

Not fun as an oddity or useful as an instrument. Waste of money.

Just found this app, much respect for John Cage and I really appreciate getting to work with his prepared piano! Would be really great for Midi control like the others said (core and/or virtual.) The Audiobus sdk is out now, I think its implementation with this app would be stellar. The only other suggestion I have would be an option to arrange the notes in order, this would be great to hear other tunes in the John Cage way! Oh and possibly a way to export the recordings with audiocopy or e-mail (Audiobus would solve this.) Thank you for bringing this to my iPad. Show more

Let me add my vote to those requesting MIDI control. Please! The samples sound beautiful and the velocity response is ice. The note layout is a bit of a hindrance for use. Show more

Very enjoyable to play with and you don't have to stick foreign objects inside your piano! I like how you can upload a recording that you create onto the John Cage website to share with others. The ability to hook up a MIDI Keyboard controller to play the prepared piano sounds would be a very nice enhancement to this app. Show more

I know it is unlikely to happen but adding Midi would really put the cherry on it.

john is long since gone & I'm reading on my own how the world loves a cage , when kings die some kingdoms fall.....

Nice and simple.
