Ratings and reviews

Excellent app. The sounds you can use are all greatly "chippy" and sound just how they would on an NES or similar, and the different instrument combinations are quite abundant, which is another plus. Also, it's easy to use and even has a help guide if you struggle with using something, such as ESPM or DCPM samples. Great app, 3 out of 3 stars. Would recommend.
