This is an amazing app for producing music. I'm a music producer and I use Ableton for my D.A.W. I bought this app because it was featured on the Ableton Link webpage and it is my new favorite music production app. This works great for Link but it's best as a standalone sequencer, the sounds are top quality and you can export directly to soundcloud(or by email) which makes this app amazing on its own! This is a must have app for any music producer, especially if you use Ableton! Show more

It is hard to tear myself away from this one. They are also a first rate company that cares about their work and their users.

I have pure love for this app. Once you start to learn its functions (it's not hard) a whole world of sequencing opens up that only a genius could have envisioned. I have only had it for a day, but that is all I needed to conclude that this app is absolutely top-notch. Show more

This app managed to find the perfect balance of form, function, fun, inspiration, ease of use, and high end compositional possibilities. It looked unimposing at first and after 10 minutes I was lost in compulsive sampling, seq'ing, and grooming. It quickly became my most used app and on the topic of quickness, I felt like I'd been using it for years after about 5-10 minutes . Brilliant Show more

I didn't know what to think about this app before I purchased it. It looked real interesting but I wasn't sure that I understood all it was capable of doing. But, man, I am so incredibly glad I made this purchase, because this is now the most treasured beat-making app that I own! While I do think that the name of the application is a bit odd (no offense to the developer). It really doesn't matter because I think what you are able to accomplish with the application is just incredible and so much fun. You are given a grid of sample pads to play, a step editor, a speed-range option, swing option, an overall Delay function, BeatsPerMinute meter, wonderful FX options that I believe can help to radically transform your current sound, unbelievably high quality samples to load as you please and a whole lot more. And the samples are truly amazing in my opinion. Reading in the description that you are given 350+ sound samples to work with, well, this was one of the many reasons that I decided to buy the application. But, I just had no idea before buying that they were going to be so awesome, so diverse and of such a high quality. It feels like these samples were designed specifically for me because they are the type of diverse and crazy good sounds that I absolutely love to create beats with. You get lots of kicks, snares, hihats, shakers, string/piano/synth keys, toms, FX, bass and just a ton more. One thing that always irritates me to no end when I find a music creation app like this that I really enjoy. Is that generally the developers always skimp big time on the default samples. But, as I said, having the 350+ included here is just wonderful and I am so grateful that the developers understood how important having that is in one of these types of applications. Plus, you are able to record or import your own sounds through the recording feature (which I still do not get how that recording button works in the application?), through iTunes or through the Audiocopy function. Which the latter is a feature available in pretty much all of your top-tier music-making applications offered in the App Store. This feature allows you to record and copy any type of sound and transfer it to any other Audiocopy compatible app. You also thankfully have the wonderful and highly useful, "Open In", function when you go to export your beats, which thank you so much for that feature as well. As for something else I do not fully comprehend how to use at the moment. The Pattern section where you can switch between new patterns, well, I don't really understand how you can have one pattern play after another, or if that is even possible or not? In the end, though, I believe that this incredible music tool takes some functions offered by other music apps and improves upon them and brings a whole bunch of wonderful new features to the table as well. And I think that anyone from a music novice to a seasoned professional would be able to find a whole lot to love about this really powerful music program. I know for a fact that all of my time spent in many separate music apps previously. Will now be entirely focused on this one single program because it, in my opinion, just offers everything that I could ever need or want in one single place. My sincere thanks and gratitude to the developers of this application for all of the time, hard work and effort that you no doubt poured into this tool to make it as great as it currently is in my opinion. iPad Air 2/ iOS 8.3 iPhone 6 Plus/ iOS 8.3 P.S. If you ever get around to it, I would very much appreciate some kind of user manual for this application please (preferably offered on your website if you have one, where I can download and save a PDF copy of it please.) Also, may we please have an option to export our beats in a 24-bit format, as well as the default 16-bit format please? Thanks again and and God bless. Show more

I love this app on my iPhone, and finally I can use it on my iPad, also. IAA is a major plus! Thanks! Love it!

I've never used an app more. This is the best music app I've come across. I use it as my drum machine in my band, and am always happy with the possibilities it creates! Buy this app NOW. Show more

So, TriqTraq is not a "new" app - it's been around since 2012. But they've continued to update it and some new features like IAA and "Open In" capability caught my attention in Sept. 2014. The immediate thought I had upon loading the app and playing it was that this app "solves" a lot of the frustrations I had regarding iMaschine, which is an excellent beatbox/groove app that hogs up a ton of memory and leaves you with zero realistic options for exporting your patterns (no AB, IAA, or ACP). TriqTraq, by contrast, is designed to get you to work quickly, and to export your beats any way you like. The onboard samples are surprisingly good, especially for an app that is $2.99 and just shy of 27 MB. But you can also import your own samples in a variety of ways, and save them as kits. There are some criticisms you could make of the app - it does steer you towards traditional 4/4 EDM/Pop styles of music, and you can only program one instrument per step, though you can have tracks A through D playing different things on that step, so there are workarounds. But the app sounds great and makes it very convenient to craft simple grooves with the included beats, basses, and leads. Great effects and interface, too. Show more

With TriqTraq, it's fun to quickly create head-bobbing grooves and extend them into songs. Not only do I use the app, I now use TriqTraq's workflow when I'm on my hardware sequencers. It's like TriqTraq "gets" me. And I'm glad I got TriqTraq!!! Show more

First off, really enjoy using this app. Always have. There's a staccato feel to the loops that isn't quite like anything else I've played with that makes for cool underpinning tracks when you need a little something extra or some movement. Complaints comparing it negatively to apps like Figure are missing the point and likely coming from users without much audio experience (though I could be wrong.) They're both basic sequencing grooveboxes of a sort The feature set in TriqTraq is deeper than Figure and that gets complicated by its layout as well: its workflow is comparatively wonky and unintuitive, but it doesn't need to be. For example, let's say I want to demo a new drum kit; in Figure you just swipe horizontally between kits, but in TriqTraq I'd need to hit 'Kits', then go into the drumkit subcategory, pick a kit, hit 'load', and then one more button toggle to make sure it's in Preview mode. Y'all *could* do away with both the 'load' prompt AND the need to re-select Preview and it would be a subtle but huge improvement. (Granted, the kit controls are more granular in TriqTraq; you can't load individual voices in Figure and you can in TriqTraq. That still shouldn't require so much toggling.) There's a lot packed in here and it must've been difficult to get it all in there with the design constraints facing Universal apps - and this is definitely not the worst UI or workflow I've seen, nowhere close. A mere 10 to 15% in workflow decluttering would probably lead to a 50-75% increase in personal use. Would also like to see more and more interesting/unusual FX plus automation. Cross-kit sidechaining or choke on assigned voices for instance, it glitchy stuff - more than the standard 'verb/delay offerings. If they're good enough I'd IAP them. A fun app worth checking out. One of the better beatboxes for iOS. Show more

This app is great. Take the time to dig in and you will be creating tunes in no time. Highly recommend!

Incredibly powerful with such a small interface to work with. Definitely a worthy purchase.

This app is lots of fun and sound great

One of the hidden gems of the iOS music world. Elegant and powerful. Love it.

The record function makes the app crash on iOS 5.1

Having just recently aquired an Iphone 5c, I found that alot of my ipad apps were either not compatible or it cost more money to get the additional iphone version. While searching for simple apps to occasionally noodle around with on my iphone, I found this app. Have to say, it really looked too good to be true but I have already created an entire song and only played with the app 2hrs. This app is superior in every way to figure(wish I love) and worth the additional price. From one home musician to another, just buy it. Show more

Long awaited "Export." Bravo!! Devs Just out of the blue, saw this article on 'trendhunter.' Love the UI: A+ Sound, Filters: A Simple & Control Improve on adding 1. ACP and 2. Countdown/off to record • Latency is slight. It needs to catch on the 'first' layout positions I'm still liking it - so more surprises please... Thank You Devs Show more

I found this 4-track loop sequencer to be the fastest, easiest-to-get-good-results of the batch currently installed on my iPhone/iPad. The trick is that by forcing you to use limited sounds & tracks, you get more creative in performance. The samples provided with it are good. Wish it had Audiobus & iPad optimization. Show more

a nextgen interface purposebuilt for idevices, it sounds so good and makes such cool tracks, now it's got what it needs, AudioBus next please

This thing is absolute garbage compared to the Figure! app by propellerhead. That app has a clean UI, crisp graphics, and intuitive controls. This app has none of that at 3 times the price. You've been warned. Show more
