Time is at the ending and you have made it possible though everything in your world nothing has been changed except your passion use that?

Nicely done with a focus on having fun Another version or new instruments would be avidly used

I assume it’s not supported anymore but to this day it’s still a favorite of mine. I have many DAWS and plugins but still come back to figure cos it’s so tactile. One major flaw is not being to export stems efficiently or even in higher fidelity. It’s heartbreaking cos we all make killer tunes on it but take any further than our phones. If this feature was implemented Figure could be placed on the must have iOS music apps list It’s still unmatched in workflow. Show more

I have spent countless nights laying awake, craving some form of purpose. My thoughts and consciousness consume me from the inside out, leaving me an empty corpse of meaningless prayer. All those nights I questioned what only the brave would dare to do, and found no answer just like those before me. This pondering lulled me into a deep haze where everything felt like nothing. I scoured internet, hoping for someone who could save me. But the truth was it was only myself who could save me from my own thoughts. Or was it… I recently downloaded this spectacular app called Figure. On those lonely nights I open Figure and let my mind carry itself away from depression, into the comfortable realm of sound. The looped beats drown my itchy wonders of meaning, and engulf my dehydrated body with beats as replenishing as water. No other app has supported me this way other than Figure. It’s simple interface and deliciously addicting instrumentals are the backbone of my current mindset. Without Figure my recently discovered positiveness is squandered completely, dragging me shamefully back to square one, a shape with only sorrow that fills myself. I thank you for everything you’ve helped me through, Figure, and I hope to see fresh, complex, and exciting updates in the future. I love you more that I myself can even comprehend Show more

It is the best

I wish it was easier to export files, It would also be spiffy if the generated file names included not just the date but the tempo.

Holy crap... I've never seen an app start off being excellent and actually degrade, but that's my experience with Figure over the last few updates - bar syncing seems to have stopped working, UI real estate has been sacrificed for no good reason, and most maddeningly of all the whole 'social' tie in; look, I like to collaborate as much as the next musician, but tying the whole deal to a Facebook or "Allihoopa" login is automatically a red flag. Look devs... You can keep all the social bells and whistles, but as other reviewers have pointed out - how about a feature upgrade instead of tracking function upgrades for advertisers to try and sell you targeted ads based on your demographics? _____ Original review: Folks asking for more bars are missing the point I'm chuckling a little reading some of the reviews below because I can just see some OCD-addled teen wanting to compose their magnum opus in Figure because it's just *that much fun* to play and everything's all nice and quantized automatically, not to mention those thick ol' supersaturated/compressed drum sounds... Most people are gonna pick this up and immediately say "WHY, I COULD MAKE A WHOLE ALBUM IN THIS!" Then they see the 8 bar max and say, "BUT WHY CAN'T I MAKE MY 4 HOUR EPIC BANGER SYMPHONY?! JUST LET ME NOODLE ENDLESSLY AND CAPTURE IT ALLLL, PROPELLERHEADS!" (And then ask for mp3 exports because, you know, that's what the pros use right? ?) But seriously now: imagine how old it would get to hear a bunch of tunes from different people that all used only the same Figure sounds and patterns and nothing else? ? I think this app is best described as, among other things, a musical idea jumpstarter that's geared towards styles that are heavily rhythmic; if you're looking for a quick backing beat, Figure is your best friend. If you want to flesh it out a little further with a bass loop and an arp - boom, you have the kernel of a song to be developed further. Where? Wherever you like, be it a tape recorder, sampler, DAW... Just not within Figure itself. Figure dispenses the seeds; where you plant and how you cultivate them is up to you (although if you like the overall ease, simplicity, & sound of Figure then Propellerheads' Reason desktop software might be a good place to start.) That said, here's what I'd like to see; 1) user-imported sounds, at least the drum hits. I realize this may never happen though due to a desire to keep things clean (format support and file management issues would definitely hamper the workflow.) If that's not possible, then just adding more Tweak options for sound shaping would be nice. 2) The more I use Figure the more this becomes THE big deal: Export Options. The app really needs more granular mix and export options. One of the only things I ever complain about with the app is the inability to mute individual drum voices, which means that when I export the loop for use elsewhere, it's all in one fell swoop - kicks, hats, snares all on the same track. This is bad for eq and fx purposes to put it mildly. Drum channel stem exports are badly needed. It doesn't matter as much for the bass and keys because you can always just solo one of them to export cleanly (I like the fact that the sidechain prints, too.) if absolutely nothing else, then at least individual drum voice mute/solo would work. 3) MIDI out. Again, nothing overly complicated or fancy. Just the ability to use these Figure-generated patterns to drive other sounds elsewhere. ... With #2 above being my only real complaint, thanks to Propellerheads for this awesomely inspirational toy! :) Show more

This requires an account login to use. It didn’t when I used it years ago.

This is a perfect app for making pretty complex beats if you know how to use it. Can you maybe add a lead or bass inspired by Ray Volpe's sound design? Show more

Love this!!!

Good app for some nice little songs.

I’ve had this app since it dropped and its the only app that I have kept on every iPhone. Please update

Really cool it gets the active community going again and all the features

Whenever you try to log in it stays on a black screen. Even when you do log in, you lose all of your work. Overall, it is a wonderful little toy. Show more

Love this app since it was first released. Such a freeing thing to open up an app and make good sounding music so easily and unencumbered. **Please add the use to share projects and add to them. Maybe enable a file import (with volume control) so we can have somebody else's project as a backing track and then add to it using Figure's stuff. This would make this a killer app! Show more

great little app but can’t log in .Had it since it first came out but after th alibabba stuff can’t use it too bad another one bites the dust because of stupid sign up stuff Show more

A true pleasure all around!

Great music making app!

I’ve been using Figure since it first released, and I still using it on a daily basis. Why use journals when you can say how you feel through easy to make melodies? I’ll still go back to old songs and either fine tune them or remix them entirely. I have no musical experience, mind you. I know nothing of song keys or structure. Choose a key, you’ve got eight bars, make something nice in a matter of a few minutes once you have it down. Devs, I would absolutely love to see the ability to two things: 1) Volume automation. Similar to how I can record the tweaks of different pieces of the song, I would like to be able to crescendo certain parts of the songs. 2) This one is a stretch, but I want the ability to send my song files to other friends with the app. Back when Propellerhead had the ability to share songs online, I’d share, have a friend download, then they remix it, then I download, then remix it... very lengthy process. Let me share my songs easily! Show more
