Reviews

Brilliant
Turbotim3

I love melody and arpeggiators. this app is so much fun to use. I am using it to control older hardware synths and even some newer ones like the korg volca keys. I am so happy there are people like you creating tools like this. thank you.


Works Great!

Don't expect this app to make any sounds on its own. It sends midi data to other synth apps you might have on your device.


It's a MIDI arp
Theo void

This app is an arpeggiator that uses MIDI. You have to run other audio apps through it to hear sound. So now it has a bunch of bad reviews because people are idiots and can't read. At least read the description before you post a neg review. It says it right there. F'n morons. I've lost all hope for humanity. Sigh.....


Ignore the negative reviews
Buddhas Palm

This app clearly states it's a midi tool. Those complaining that it doesn't make sound are clearly amateurs who don't know what they're talking about. I'll give an actual review once I've spent some time with the app.


No sound

Do u have to have headphones or something? I think it looks like an app i would like. If it had sound.


Issues with network session
TheatreNerd691

I honestly don't know if it's an app problem or a me problem- but I had such large latency issues that it rendered itself absolutely useless. I was getting parts of midi signals sent to my computer, which led to a really unsuccessful Arp.


What?

I used the app, but no sound is coming from my iPod.


Lots of potential!

This app has great features and keeps getting better. Great support forum. Makes your synths sing!


Confused

Don't know how to use it. It would help to have a tutorial or something.
