Ratings and reviews

deep and powerful music tool... impressed, i bought a version for my phone and another for my laptop... but the UI is really strange, and i have to stumble over all kinds of cutesy automatic features i dont want, making the workflow tedious. im loving what im finally getting out of this... but it could be sooooo much smoother and intuitive! some kind of user forum would be very useful too!

Very cool, though somewhat intimidating. I'm impressed but the Pro version is priced too high for me and the Lite version is too restrictive. My only other complaint is that I don't understand why generative music would be licensed for personal use only. I can see why the software used would need to be credited, but the music itself should be usable as a Youtube soundtrack, for example. Just my two cents.

Powerful, but oh so complex! The user manual is almost incomprehensible, poorly written and organised. A new user needs a gentle introduction to this kind of complexity. Only a determined non-professional muso would persevere in the masochism of trying to learn this product from the manual! The free "lite" version is far too limited for any meaningful exploration, so I still don't know whether it's worth paying for.

What's new
