Ohh This Is Going To Beee Fun❣️

By Eriptron (Pcmac user)

I'm going through the setting, turning on background play, etc., and probably will be playing with this till sunrise. I can feel it❣️ My Christmas present to me. 🤓 Thank you Dmitrij❣️ I stopped reading when I saw that it used the Poison synth engine and bought it. It became a no brainer, it did. It wasn't that it was 50% off. lol (and that I saw that the filter was a 12/24 dB / octave. I'll come back for the rest. This, THIS is going to be good. A lot fun. Dmitrij these (and Poison) are like what I would put together with the exact same features if I was so gifted. I had been wishing for something that was both a 'mad synthesizer' but it was hidden under a bigger musical personality. Be back with results of my initial impressions.
Amaze-⚽️ 🏀 ⚾️ groove creation station!!!!!!

By BK Holiday (Pcmac user)

Amazing pro level app from the dev who made the phenomenal Poison-202 synth! Anything I can say has probably already been said so I’m just going to use this as a platform to beg the dev for my feature requests. 1) the X-Y JimAudio manipulator pad needs to be like 25-50% bigger PLEASE! [erhaps not all the time but for some functions it would work during live play SOOO much better IMHO... Secondly, okay so the people who you’re really making this app for have already invested tons of $$ in Novation’s iMachine-Launchpad-Blocs-, Retronyms AudioCopy, Beatmakers Intua, Sampletank, Beat Hawk, (and a couple more I’m forgetting) sound bank/libraries.. make it a $5-10 IAP +/- but plz be our hero musical savior and incorporate a way to import these sample libraries into the app rider and manipulate them with your terrific program. Thank you!!!
Best iOS music app hands down.

By Leom187 (Pcmac user)

I’ve been making music on iOS for bout 3 years now and nothing strikes a more perfect balance between, fun, immediacy, and great sound sculpting options like this thing. Feels like an instrument. Between the great synth engine, sample import AND resampling options, and the wonderful tools like the touchpad, erase button, chord modes, arp, the app presets, and super handy fx routing, you pretty much feel like you can do no wrong here. So sit back, relax, and ride those grooves. And special thanks to the developer for rolling out quick updates that tweaked the app to amazingly be better than it was on release. Great stuff here. I can see myself making music with this for a LONG time.
Best in Class Groove Making Machine

By Matthias Munk (Pcmac user)

Wow! Just wow!! This is a serious machine built by a musician for musicians. On the surface it’s an amazing and tangible interface for making wonderful beats, but below that surface is a monster waiting to be unleashed. I’ve gone through almost every iOS beat making machine there is and I can say without hesitation this is the most powerful one I’ve seen to date. This is the kind of app that makes me start to delete other apps so I can focus on one machine and learn it inside it out. This puts the focus on making music and that’s what being a musician should be about.
