Appmuse

Fantastic app. Very playable. Sampled sounds are great. Love the design and layout.

I've been using the app for a while now and find the keyboard layout to be very clever, and offers a lot of mobility around the keyboard, as well as smearing notes for dissonance. The scales selection makes it playable for non-musicians/novice musicians, but not at the expense of someone who knows what they are doing. My 6 year old nephew can already lay down some great riffs on it! The samples sound great (passable on the iPhone built-in speakers, but fantastic on headphones or plugged into an amp). The octave selection seems to have been designed with performance in mind as it responds quickly. Drum loops are perfect for jamming. Love the retro look. I've been more inclined to try drumming and percussion apps on the iPhone and have found latency to be a big concern that affects the performance (relegates those apps to toys vs. instruments). The responsiveness of this app is superb elevating it to a truly playable instrument. Show more
