Appmuse

Still hoping for some updates... please support this app as it is fantastic just the way it is. Fun AND Powerful.

Needs: audio copy/paste, a sample editor, more scales/modes, a few more FX. other than that, this app is music-making crack.

I don't rate music apps based on their user interface, or how intuitive they are, or the features the developer did or didn't include. I rate music apps based on what I get out of them, and how much they push my creativity. After one day of owning this app, I've sketched out six beats I really like, and I did them all quickly. There's something about this app that just pulls good grooves out of you, then encourages you to automate and tweak it until it sounds lush and unique. That really is the key; I own a lot of music apps by now (Nanostudio, djay, SunVox, Rhythm Studio, bleep!BOX, Garageband, Figure, etc.) but none of them get such an immediately exciting, foot-tapping, fully-realized sound out of me the way this one has after one day of playing with it. I hope the developer and the people reading this review understand what a compliment that is, because all of those apps are incredible in their own right. Triqtraq's included sample kits are gorgeous and I can't wait to start adding my own. I'm very glad they chose to include that feature. Like most people, I hope they add some sort of audio export in a later version (preferably a way to record your performance within the app, then export the wave file) but this is version 1.0 and, since I'm having such a good experience with the app, I feel I have no right to complain. If this app never got an update I would still love it. NEVERTHELESS, here is my feature wish list :) - Most importantly, the ability to change the Level, Pan, Attack, and Decay of each individual sample within a kit, inside of the program. - The ability to automate the LOOPSPEED function - The Filter X/Y Pad is amazing, of course...maybe some additional effects? A Bitcrusher? Foldback Distortion? Reverb? Glitch? - The ability to record lead parts with the X/Y Pad would also be pretty awesome. Just sayin'. - Additional Pattern Banks! That's honestly all I can think of at the moment. I can't express how glad I am I found this app. You can't put a price on a great musical instrument, and I'm a very software-heavy musician, so right now I feel the way some people feel when they buy an MPC60 or a 909 or a vintage Telecaster. Except I spent two dollars. Thank you so much to the developer for this brilliant machine. Show more

Got some time to play with it and it's really good, you can go really deep into settings as well or keep it simple! Perfect!

I really like this app... You can think the sequencer is very limited, but the automation efx make magic!! I hope in the next update this app support loop samples for to make ultra edited slices break combos! :0) Show more

This app goes Deep if you delve in! Automation wins, loop lengths win. Dropbox support is a good option to consider for sample imports;-) But im giving this thing two thumbs up, looking forward to any updates. Show more

It needs copy paste board! More than 16 steps per grid A few more effects Stutter perhaps... The latency is kinda iffy on this app as well Once those things are added fixed i'll up the stars! There are just too many music tools that dont offer what should be standard, dropbox files, copy paste, etc. Show more

Great start but I am hoping for some improvements to earn that last star. For starters, I personally think Apps should not need a PC hook up to fully function. Please give us more options for sample loading. ACP Could you let us 'draw' in the values in the sequencer? The slider gets the job done but why not use the power of the touch screen? Show more

I'm hesitant to give 5 star ratings, but this thing is amazing! Being able to use your own sounds, and the adjustable step sequencer (1-16) plus the playback speed adjustment (factor 0.5 to 2), really help with creating something that's outside the box! The layout is also very performance ready, once you've familiarized yourself with all the possibilities. This thing is deep!!! Show more

Wow. Wasn't expecting much and was surprised. For fans of ikaossilator or Figure, this is right up your alley. However, this is different and it's the basic sequencing that you can do that makes this little app shine. I said you, cause this is more than a fancy loop player. No ACP but Figure doesn't have it either and it took Korg a spell to implement it in ikaossilator. This program is actually programmable unlike the other two and a blast to play with. Buy it now. I said now. The four star review is simply because there is room for improvement and I know with proper support this app could be like nanoloop making love to an electribe. Show more
