Description

Create your own music and songs and play with a multi-track MIDI sequencer.
Turn your ideas into full songs; write and modify sections, chords, notes, and drum hits, quickly and productively.
Immerse yourself in your music, make a song and play with more than one hundred instruments.
It combines several tools to let you quickly shape your songs while exploring different ideas.
For example you can try out different harmonies of a song section: write it once and hear how it sounds when played in different chord progressions, with the one-of-its kind feature of automatic harmonic transposition.
It includes a step sequencer for drum hits, a piano roll editor for detailed note editing, a rhythm editor to try out different rhythm alternatives. Plus, organize your song into sections and modify and repeat them at will. You will be amazed how fast, easy and fun writing music can be with this app.
The sounds are produced by the MIDI synthesizer of your device, so you can choose among all the 128 instruments specified by the General MIDI standard, which include many types of guitars, basses, pianos, brasses, strings, pads, synthesizers, percussion, woods and some effects.

FEATURES

- Multi-track sequencer;
- 6 different editors;
- 128 instruments;
- Mixer to program each track's instrument and volume, and to mute/solo the tracks;
- Automatic Harmonic Transposition: lets you apply different chord progressions to the music you are writing, so as to choose whatever sounds best;
- Metronome;
- Playing range selection;
- Save and reuse groups of bars and chord progressions in other songs and/or tracks;
- Quickly copy and modify a section or an entire song;
- Automatic saving at each modification of your composition;
- Export to MIDI format: you can import the .mid file generated to your preferred DAW and take it to the next level, with further sound processing;
- Export all your songs, groups of bars, and chord progressions into the external memory of your device, so you can import all your library to another device, or make a backup copy of your work;
- Import from the external memory (what you have previously exported);
- In-depth integrated user manual, with everything explained.

MUSIC EDITORS

- Song Section Editor: to organize the sections (verses, choruses, etc.);
- Chords Editor: to write chord progressions;
- Tracks Editor: to organize the bars of the multi-track sequencer;
- Notes Editor: to write notes into the tracks;
- Drums Editor: step sequencer for percussive sounds;
- Rhythm Editor: to write chords based on rhythm;

WHAT THIS APP IS:

- Simply put: it's a tool to write and make music (your own music!) and we think it's quite good at it!
- It assists your music-writing creative process, from initial ideas to complete songs;
- You can use it for any type of music compositions, and it's particularly suited to songs;
- You can use it alone, or in combination with a DAW: first write a multi-track MIDI file, then import it in your DAW to apply audio effects and do more elaborate mixing;
- The benefits of using this app relative to another music editor is that it does things from the music composer point of view, rather than the sound/mixing engineer;

WHAT THIS APP IS NOT:

- It's not a tool to automatically generate music from loops or algorithms, you are regarded as a music composer, not just a user;
- It's not a one-fit-all tool: it excels in the creative, music-writing part of your work.

WHO CAN BENEFIT FROM THIS APP:
- Musicians, songwriters, composers, anyone who enjoys writing, composing and making music.

You don't need to be a professional musician to use this app, but it's better if you know at least the basics of music theory (but don't worry if you don't because this app can be an invaluable learning tool for you).

This free version is fully functional so you can make a full evaluation. Only saving and import/export are disabled.

Finally, it's an app written by musicians for musicians!

4 ★ I thought this would be great for quick notes and mock ups. It is a pretty good tool. There are some frustrating things that maybe those learning music will like. For example, grace notes are difficult since you're choosing a note from within the chords in the note editor. As some others mentioned, changing chords is frustrating. I'd like to see the ability to double tap a chord within the note editor to modify the chord so I don't have to go back to the chord structure section. I usually write melodies, then the chords, but you're a bit trapped with this app to do chords first. Most of you probably start with chord structure. If so, this won't be as big of a problem for you.

3 ★ I found chord handling very frustrating, there seems to be no way to change chord inversions or to raise or lower the octave. When the chord sequence i entered was played it was an octave higher than when entered.

5 ★ Once you know how to use it there is nothing better on the app store. I wish it came with a good template rather than a demo. Like verse, verse, pre, chorus, verse, pre, chorus with drum builds and sustained chords. I think newbies would have an easier time and it would make it quicker to make mock ups.

1 ★ It is so difficult to understand!!! I dont get it!!!! It is nothing!!!!!!!!! This is why i put 1 star!!! I tryed this and all it is is music!!

1 ★ Look how many downloads look how many rates 23 people wow. You can't save what u own... Only 5 instruments.

3 ★ There is a glitch in the notes editor that doesnt let you add voices in the correct octave.

5 ★ Very satisfied honestly, you guys definitely put some work into this. Do you make PC software as well?

2 ★ You can't save or export songs so this is just a waste of time. Consider adding Saving or Exporting to the Free version to make me like it.

1 ★ import: no matching what? lol. no

5 ★ This app has many features l have needed for chord study. This is a wonderful app for all musicians.

1 ★ Can't save not free

1 ★ I recommend to not get this game

5 ★ Amazing tech service, I had some trouble and I got help within a few hours.

4 ★ Very interesting app. Looks like it has a steep learning curve but looks like it could be very useful. I'm going to keep trying to figure out how to use it. Should be worth it.

1 ★ But I'm sure it can get the job done if you are willing to adapt...
