This application is amazing. I've only had it for a few minutes; but wow. I don't buy apps. I don't leave reviews. I bought this and am here leaving a review after just a few minutes of playing I'm likely not using it the way intended. I have hardware that doesn't have scale or chord modes. Take an old phone and put it in between my hardware and midi controller. Done. The dev really needs to make the interface look a bit less cluttered, get someone to help make the settings menu a bit easier to follow and create better videos. This app is incredible. If you've ever wanted a scale quantizer; look no further. You also get a fun ribbon controller that can be absolutely insane if you have a large tablet, dual loopers, the ability to have scales, chords and the bass note sent from/to different midi channels and a bazillion scales and chord sets to play with. This would be a $99 VST. Enhancement requests: 1. I'd pay good money to have this as a VST 2. I'd like to assign a midi CC to switch between the 7 sets of pads. 3. The velocity of the pads is difficult to control on the touch screen. I'd like an upper and lower bounds 4. The filter knob in the giant list of scales is difficult to control. A drop down list would be better. 5. The key layout in the giant list of scales is weird. Use a piano. 6. Please don't take offense; but it looks like this app was designed with powerpoint. 7. The rainbow ribbon controller is crazy. I would buy it + the scales without anything else. 8. When playing from an external keyboard, you show the note that's played. I'd really like if you showed the chord name if we play a chord. 9. Have you seen the Blokas MidiHub? If you could make another app with some of those features... that'd be great.

A game changing App that is very inventive and intuitive at the same time! I don't usually leave comments but this one merits all the praise. I had few issues connecting it to my DAW (mostly due to my stupidity) but the developer was quick to run me thru all the details patiently and was very quick to respond to my email. Bless you.

I appreciate this app so much. Makes writing all kinds of styles of music exciting and fun. The music theory packed inside that intuitively translates through 7 pad's interface gives me a great feeling of gratitude as I'm now standing on the shoulder of a giant and can find rich and inspiring chord progressions and leads with organic simplicity. I love the new 2.4 feature bringing in GM (perhaps allow user selected soundfonts in future?) and chord flower and keys now capable of individual sound

just wanna say that this software brings the fun back into writing music! dont let its toyish interface deceve you, its a powerful tool! especially when connected to your hardware or DAW. recently, having talked with the developer about an issue connecting to windows 10 pcs with a new win update, they fixed the issue and it now works flawlessy wirelessly :) very happy customer fully recommended.

Excellent for learning music theory in a fun and practical way. Love the ability to connect to MIDI keyboards, controllers and synths. The missing feature for 5 stars is MIDI file export so you can transfer your creation into a DAW.
