Appmuse

Can only possible give 1 star as it won't even start up on my iPad. May be good on devices it works on but it doesn't work on mine.

Looks promising but I don't think you can actually write a full drum sequence. Playback arbitrarily chooses instrumentation for the rhythm you enter. Great for testing/charting out a rhythm but not good if you think you can write a full drum part. Easy to use and get started though. While the previews display a full drum staff either I can't figure out how to write a simple kick/snare/hat progression or it doesn't exist. I recommend they remove the full drum set staff until that feature is available or add that capability (or make it easier to access if it already exists). Show more

Great rhythm trainer and composer only thing lacking is the ability to program accents and dynamics so you can hear a rhythm as written by a composer. Also a swing function would be nice to hear a jazz style or Brazilian style of playing of the pattern you are trying to learn Show more

I was hoping for an app that would let me tap in rhythms to a metronome using a "pad" button or something similar. The description of the app said "Tap in rhythm from a score..." Turns out you can't do that. What you do is tap the icons for notes and rests. Each time you tap a note or rest, it gets placed in a music staff in the order you tap the icons. You can then play back your creation to see how it sounds. I don't know notes/rests at all, but am very good at rhythm. I wanted a way to translate rhythms to notation so I could see what some of the more complex ones looked like. This app isn't it. Seems to do what it does OK, though it skips beats relatively often - like it got a hiccup or ran out of memory or something. I'm using a 64GB iPhone 4S, so i don't think it's my hardware since there's currently nothing out there faster or with more memory. Oh well... Show more

Helped this beginner a TON! Thank you!

I have been using this app ever since I found it months ago. I use it all the time when I don't understand a difficult rhythm passage. It clarifies those same passage by slowing down the tempo, and playing the notated rhythms. I also use this for playing scales faster using triplets, sixteenth notes, etc. If you have trouble reading rhythms, get this app, get all the help you need!! VERY USEFUL!! Show more
