The app does what it says except it doesn't seem to want to save the audio files to my device or let me export them to my drive. There's plenty to do but recording and saving audio seem impossible. Once saved the audio won't play and will show that 0 seconds have been recorded. I'll change my rating once this is fixed since the app is really cool but this is frustrating. Thank you for your time.

Very easy to use keyboard app. All the GUI is easy to understand besides the visualization being kind of hidden. If I had to give any criticism the modulation and envelope settings are kind of limited and I would much rather have just a standard envelope editor. Maybe the option to lengthen custom waveforms and add vibrato and delay and stuff would be cool. It could use some more features but what it has is great and easy to use.8

Fun and nice NES retro synth style sounds with simple knobs. Too bad, that my MIDI keyboard controller (ALESIS Q25) don't work, connect and disconnects with the following message: "Q25 was lost due to an error (time out)", fix this bug please, I have near 30 apps that work, not this. Same happens with Smartphone & Tablet (both Samsung).
