OIIIO – Lab Arpeggiator

I’m really enjoying this app

This business model is so annoying I’m not willing to go any for there with this.

You’ve been warned.

I tried subscribing; it remains to be seen if I can get my money back even though they say I can within 3 days, because unlike most trials which delay the actual charge for the duration of the trial period but not this one! Look, I’m a big fan of algorithmic music generation, so the bar is fairly low for me in terms of expectation, but I do expect that I can use an app to either generate audio I can import into a project, and/or control remotely to generate this audio in a time-synced and preferably track divided fashion. There are a grand total of 4 patch presets, and no obvious way to create (or buy) more. So unless I’m really, really into “Neylon Kick” or “Soft Percussion”, “French wind”(!) or “Cozy Ju” I’m already in trouble. But, you say, this is more about note intervals than timbre of the sounds per-se, so I will simply use the MIDI it generates in my DAW of choice and insert my own patches, right? Nope, no MIDI support whatsoever, that I can see. Now, I don’t want to crush your hopes and dreams of being an iOS developer, but if this is kind of a first attempt proof-of-concept build GitHub would have been the perfect place for it, and if you just couldn’t resist the user base potential of indexing on the App Store, you definitely don’t charge for it, and the audacity of attempting to charge MONTHLY for it, for an app that almost does nothing, definitely nothing useful in the real world.. maybe I DO want to crush your hopes and dreams if I can..

Can't even try with subscribing.
