Great tool for making music except...
The app is really good. You can create and mix beats and melodies with ease. Why did developer decide to limit the length of the song to just 16 bars is something I can't understand. Sure, you can add more sections (each consisting of 16 bars max) but you can't make the app play them in succession. This means that there is no way to play the entire song without having to manually change sections while the song is playing. This means that there is no way to combine sections into a full track. Very questionable decision. A simple option to play each section one after another would really add a lot of value to the app. Devs, please, can you add that feature?
Excellent app for quick beats
This app is perfect for beginners looking for a way to make some quick music. It’s quick and easy, you can make a fire beat in 10 mins if you’re good. It has just about everything you need to make a basic beat It has drumbox which offers a variety of free sound packs as awell as downloadable ones. It has a synthesizer for main melodies and a mini synth for backups. The Retro bass feature lets you create some awesome bass notes to enhance your sound whether you want a light hearted hum or a dark and heavy warble and these features can be edited in terms of distortion and gain etc. Great app overall. I’ve personally made a fair bit of music on this app and will keep doing so until a better one comes along (which it won’t) 10/10

Brilliant sound tool in your arsenal.
Recording issue
When ever I finish recording a song or whatever you wanna call it. It doesn’t save or say where the file is going. I’m a bit upset because I’ve made some good songs and just loose them. Could the songs be imported to photos/gallery kinda like medly. Keep up the good work 👍
Does Novation Test?
Today, I see two notifications in News. Drumbox Expansion is on sale and Glitch Breaks is released. Great. I want both. So I tap on ‘em. I’m brought back as usual to the menu. And that’s all she wrote. No store screen, no matter how long I wait. Happens with both items. Reboot - no difference. Can’t buy. Brilliant. More coffee, guys. Lots more.
Glitchy unusable unfortunately :(
I feel is really good and a lot of work has been put into it and all, but there is a major glitch - When I'm writing a pattern with a Synth the notes start popping out and the text blows up blocking the pattern and messing up everything. I don't know if my description makes any sense but it's a serious glitch that needs fixing
