Extremely Useful!
I agree with many that this app is similar to Figure. But it has taken Figure's original beat making concept to a new level. It has landscape mode, 4 music tracks to work with, deeper editing of synthesis parameters, individual control over more drum sounds, effects, chords, scales, MIDI, Ableton Link, and on and on! Yes, the UI could be better and it could use pattern chaining/song mode among other things. But at the end of the day, it is an extremely useful music creation app that plays nicely with other apps. All the really cool things this app does right out of the gate makes you want to support this developer!

Way better than i thought it was going to be
This is great fun and has huge potential. I own a lot of apps similar to this and most don't result in usable results so quickly. I should add I'm a long-time producer and usually play MIDI parts in with controllers or spend long hours meticulously painting drum hits in the piano roll on desktop DAWs. The difference is this is fun, musical and also *quick* to work with. Love it. Dev, export as separate tracks and some more patterns would be very welcome. Cheers

No Brainer Purchase Here! -UPDATE
Thought I would update my review and add a star. This is still a fun and useful app for generating loops and ideas. Exports wav files wherever I want them. MIDI files too. This is one of those “under the radar” apps for music creation. The UI is not fancy but this guy is powerful and fun! Would like to see sample import from iOS Document Picker or AudioShare. It's what Figure should have been and more. Well worth it!
