Archi simple and effective, it in fact I would say the main strength of the soft, it is very easy to learn, intuitive and reliable.

Fully adapted to the DS interface, it is an electronic instrument the easiest and most pleasant to use than I had in my hands.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

Everything is nickel. Using the stylus changing what kind of virtual instrument, there is a keyboard, kaos pad, a step sequencer, patch is huge. You can make a player pieces composed, an instrument on which a jammer or even downright kind of synthesis with the MPC pads virtual.

The drum machine is more than simple (no interaction with the drum sounds from a sacrifice effect to adjust) but get this software primarily as an 8 bit synth. In addition, the two engines make it easy synthesis make drums that fart, so in sync with a friend we cover a full range of early instruments.

OVERALL OPINION

Well, to summarize, I find this software monster like everyone else, for its really cool (8 bit style but warm and classy, ​​powerful effects, it sounds very good) interface great ..

But for me there is a big problem: the pattern sequencer is not limited to 16 maximum. I find it ridiculous because this little gem really ready to compose melodies, but not be limited to 16 quickly turns in circles. Multiply the pattern you tell me? Why not, but the song mode is left in each edition (the coup we find ourselves stuck in the 16 not present), the patterns hold settings for synths, which is great in itself, but if you want to change an instrument of your melody composed of several pattern, it will change it slice by slice. All that is heavy or completely withdrawing profondémment when it comes to a melody more than 16 steps! The solution would not be making a fashion "song" editable but allow longer pattern. 32 steps would be a minimum 64 comfortable. If you understand me;)

Only solution to play the melodies in "live", which is not always easy given interface, and especially you can not save it from recording the audio signal.

BREF. It's very unfortunate because this detail (and perhaps also the lack of MIDI) make this app will not exceed the rank me a toy because it is clear that the fun of using a precedence over aspect composition.

However, it is excellent (I do mini-electro live with, to be broadcast on speaker phones), and above all very unique!
