Customer Reviews
There's better (2 stars)
With no filter modulation and only the most basic of effects, there's not a while lot you can do in this app. Was hoping for a little more from uvi, but this falls short of the mpc pro app.
For ten dollars it definitely wouldn't be worth it. All things considered the only good thing about it is the sounds. You only get two packs with the app, urban and edm. They're nice, but the others vary from two to ten dollars.
I'd hold off for
Don't buy yet (2 stars)
At first I really liked its relative ease of use, so I decided to buy a few sound packs. After they kept disappearing, even when I restarted my iPad, some or all packs that I bought don't even show up. I'll give a higher rating once this is fixed because that is very unacceptable!
Needs a little bit of work to be 5 stars (4 stars)
Cons right up front…
No grid editing of sequences
No chopping of samples
No real effects engine in my observation
Add these things and you got a winner…without them it's hard to say.
Pros….
Extreme quality sound
Easy to use right out the gate…maybe even the most easy
Lots of additional Iap libraries which seem to sound great!
