Riffler

I bought the two versions of Riffler many months ago when the developers announced that the midi in feature was going to be released shortly. That never happened! I would not have bought them without that feature.

Some of the controls for the app lead me to assume this is one of those desktop apps that really shouldn’t be on an iOS cell phone lol. But I’m still glad it’s here! I just fear it’s a little too much for our phones to handle. Besides some of the wacky controls and the weird file type that doesn’t work with any 3rd party stuff basically, I think it’s totally an awesome tool for writing! Or even tabbing your favorite songs. Wish you could get it to drop the act and flat do whole 3.5 min plus songs though lol

This is a huge amount of fun. It’s lacking a few of the exotic guitar-esque techniques, but so are most rhythm guitar parts. Dive into the tweaks and it can get very believable. I’d give it five stars but the export MIDI function is unusable, at least for me. Export anywhere but local is a fail (OneDrive, Dropbox). Local to email to get it out works, however the MIDI data opens up at max velocity, and only as a monophonic line - that is, no chords transfer to MIDI. Fix that and it’s six stars for the fun factor. Haven’t tried wired MIDI out yet. If that works it’s a bonus even if it is a hassle.

This app has a great sounding rock, metal, riffs and it can create many many more. I play lead and this app is great for creating rythms that challenges an advance player. It can make new patterns as it plays, and a lot of the patterns are good to awesome, some are not very goog, but workabke with a small editing!!! It generates patterns with very melodic runs requiring little or no editing at all!, very impressive algorithm!!!! Great app!!!!

This is one of my favorite apps, but I don’t understand why loading a saved riff does not repopulate the Lock Parameter buttons. This is a huge blocker for me, since manipulation of the locked parameters is vital for generating the type of riff you want easily and repeatedly. Add this feature, and I’d call Riffler a perfect app.

This app is exceptionally good for helping to generate ideas. So many times I’ll sit down to try to work on something new and struggle to come up with something - that’s when apps like this become so valuable. Select a few options, generate a few riffs, and chances are there’ll be something interesting you can build on. Totally worth the price and then some just for that alone!

I’m a keyboard/drums/bass/vocalist so the one area I struggle with or always have to put off, or settle with is guitar. This app really helps me curve just that issue. It’s fantastic! The only suggestion I would have for them is to make it so when you hit create new riff within a preset style of sound you got more variety. Unless I’m not doing something correct Idk. When I roll the dice I get a nice random option, once I like a style lets say Djent for example I wish the app created more options in that sound, but I know I can just turn some knobs and make that change myself too, so its not a pressing matter, haha but it would be a nice additional feature. Amazing app thought for real, I recommend it, and I’ve been showing it off to all my friends!

Now I have unlimited gutair music!!! Nothing to complain about!!

This is a great app but it would be nice to have more scales to work with. None of the melodic minor or its modes are present. It would also be nice to have more chord choices. 13ths, 11ths, half diminished etc.

It is great but it keeps playing past when it’s supposed to stop. I have to merge it and crop it that way. Which is fine but I think the sound quality is better before a merge. I’ve also had it crash on me, had to reload it a couple times. It would be nice if I could piano roll with it.
