I've been waiting for this day to come; this updated app is fantastic! I don't get excited about apps, but this bassline composer brought a joy to me like a child on Christmas morning. It looks like a costly app, but it is definitely worth every single penny. It really is a must-have! Show more

I got this app near when it first came out and I've been using it from marching band in high school then to world class drum corps now! I feel like it has been evolving with me all these years such that as the music I play gets harder, the developers update it to allow for more freedom and variation from stock rhythms. It's really amazing how the app now has every feature I ever wanted from different and odd meters within a measure to tempo changes. A huge thank you to the developers for making this app exist because it has helped me so much when it comes to learning music and practicing splits. Show more

The clicking sound is gone, and the new dynamic system is cool. But it seems like even at fortissimo, it's really quiet. Also, the unison feature is great.

The new versions of all these composer apps have drastically lowered the volume levels making it impossible to hear a bass lick even when your volume is all the way up. Disappointed. Please fix. Show more

The latest update rendered this app completely useless - sequencer will not play

I've had this app for a little over a year now and I love it, especially since they added the new time signature features. However, the last update has caused some sort of crackling sound during playback. Other than that, awesome tool for marching music enthusiasts. Show more

Absolutely love this app. Helps get the music in my head out and turn it in to some sweet licks. But when I feel good about some music I want to share it with my friends, yet when I try to share a beat the app just closes and does nothing else! Please fix...otherwise a fantastic app that has showed a lot of improvement. ?✌️ Show more

I absolutely love this. Helps pass the time writing original bass licks, as well as writing experience in a fun and interactive way. I've had this app for a year and some months now I believe, but the last update has made everything sound crackly, like too much echo or articulation that is not having it. I thought it was my speakers, but I've ran my phone through other speakers and have asked other users with the same problem. I love this app, use it every day, pleeease fix? Keep doing awesome things! Show more

Pretty sweet app! I've been using it to create a lot of splits. Improvements - Add crescendos , mf, mp, pp. If you can, make the app smoother, when I'm switching in between measures it gets more and more laggy the larger the piece is. Bug - I have an iPad mini and whenever I try to share my pieces that I make on this with my phone, the app quits! Please fix this. Show more

I've had this app for about a year now and it has been great. Music makers (Drummers) will find a realistic sound of an actual bassline when using this app. This update makes muted notes and rim clicks sound greater than before. The new tempo feature is cool, but I feel that it always changes back to the original tempo. The look is very nice as well. All in all, great app and worth the money. This app will help with music composition creativity and also it is entertaining! One feature that would be cool but not necessary is if the creations can be able to convert to actual written music. When that is done this app would be the best composition app on the App Store. Show more

??? ??? ??? The rapid scrolling motion of beats represented as square pieces of "sandpaper" angular icons and measures is a bit too rapid and difficult to read. As it is now, the drab and bulky square icons racing off the page at "Sonic The Hedgehog" speeds make my eyes ping-pong when my eyes leave the interface. For a less straining and nauseating experience I recommend rotating the interface/device 90°. Visually, the "asphalt" glyph icons are not easily discernible, nor compelling to get in a serious head boppin' and creative mood. Hopefully the developers rethink the interface with a little more depth and thought, or options to change it. Overall, the app is interesting but the current price is a bit "spendy" compared to other musical creative apps which offer more remarkable features for a better value. I can't see using this for the long term, but maybe things will evolve and become better suites to my personal liking. ?dB Show more

The best, yet the only bass composer app in the Apple Store, but it's still really good. The only problem is that the bass hit is too quiet. But other than that it's really good. Ps- it would be cool if you could turn the beats into notes and I'm looking forward to the sharing feature! Show more

Has many bugs and needs an update.. It is a great app, but the bugs are ruining it. Also, they lied about an "update" coming.. Pathetic.

Let me start off by saying that I'm glad something like this exists on the App Store. However there are some serious things that I would like to be fixed. 1) The bar at the top is really finicky and so is the way that you have to carefully swipe between measures. 2) There should be a way to change the subdivision of an individual best rather than having to change the whole measure. This would more easily facilitate metric changes. 3) There should be a way to notate diddles and flams. 4) I found it to be hard to write single splits (squigs or whatever you call them). Maybe make it so you can split a beat into 12 so you can give each drum a different partial. 5) There is currently no way to to split a 16th note into 3 or 4. Sometimes you need to write a groove at a slower tempo so there needs to be a way to include 3's and 4's runs like you would with eighth notes at a faster tempo. Show more

This app is awesome! Thanks to having this with me all the time, I've written out the cadence that I promised the line awhile back. I was able to experiment with different grooves and made it sound exactly how I wanted. I do wish that I could print out the music, but the entire bass line got the app and now they practice with it all the time. Crazy! it's really helped their timing and interp. I hope they release an app with the whole battery soon. Keep it up devs! Show more

These apps are so cool for getting ideas out. I only wish it had a way to turn what you write into sheets, like an "email the sheet music for this to so and so." Show more

With the recent update, this app is a very good way to make up your own beats or cadences as well as to be able to listen to what a piece of music should sound like with all of the members. It is very good to practice with alone as it can play the part of other bass drummers while you play your part. As the section leader for a high school marching bass line, I've found that it is very helpful with showing my fellow bass drummers how particular cadences or warm-ups are supposed to look and sound even though we don't have music for some of them. There are only 4 things I can think of immediately that need to be added to this: 1. A way to add unison notes instead of having to put each unison note across all 5 drums. This would help make it easier and faster to write out the music, especially with cadences that are all, or mostly, unison. 2. The ability to go beyond 32nd notes. It may not be common for this to be used in a bass line but it would be nice to be able to break down the notes further (although if you use diddles it is technically possible to get to 64th notes, which is about as far as you would probably ever need to). 3. It would be nice to have a slightly larger bar at the top. If your finger gets just a little bit off of it, it won't perform the intended action. This isn't a huge problem, but it would be nice to have it resolved. 4. The ability to be able to turn what has been written into sheet music that could be emailed and printed. Overall though, this is an excellent app. I've actually had less trouble using it than some of the music composing programs for computer, as most of them don't seem to have what is needed for drums (diddles, flams, rim hits, etc.) and I would recommend this app to anyone. It's definitely worth the price! Show more

It's not your screen it does that to me and I have an iPad it's really annoying because it keeps me from composing the music. It also deletes my files. Other than that it is great. Show more

This app has killed all my down time. It's Rennick basses at your fingertips. The thing is flawless. My only complaint is that the interface is a little awkward at times but I bet if my screen was bigger that wouldn't be a problem. Moral of the story: buy this right now. Show more

Maybe this app is great, but it is just for bongos. I was expecting it was bass lines like a bass guitar, not just hand drumming. I deleted the app within 2 days. Show more
