If ever any app needed Ableton Link Audio… that would perfect ABG. you could use it as the instrument it was always supposed to be.
Excellent app👍
What happened
It’s a machine that works as intended
I’ve reached out to the developers multiple times about the recordings not saving to my device (like they advertised) and was met with a big nothing burger, no solution was offered but my messages were read. I’ve taken a break from using the app hoping that maybe an update would come out and fix the issue…I was wrong do not waste your money.
I love this app I wish they would add reverse back
This app is an incredibly hands on way to have some fun with breaks! It provides a workflow very similar to a hardware alternative like an sp404 or akai mpc, but for very cheap and available anywhere you go. The ability to import breaks it great and the recording feature is awesome! As is the app is a solid 8/10, but with a few changes I think it could be an easy 10/10. A few more effects and parameters for effects would be nice. An overdrive/distortion for example, or a reverb or an eq cut would go a long way. Maybe 10 total? Extra adjustment for them would be great as well, such as a basic knob or 2 for each. Along with the extra effects, some extra sounds like gabber kicks or 909 crashes would be great, and just a trigger for one of the 16 steps would be great for them. These combined would make this app something incredible, and I wouldn’t mind paying 10$ if added. Again incredible app and was very useful when I didn’t have hardware.
Worked for a minute but then just froze up, stopped making noise or anything. Buggie I guess. Bummer
I love this app and I enjoy playing it very much. But it would be nice if there were some way to load samples or just have a selection of ambient loops to play to. That being said great job!
Endless fun. You need this.
さくっとアーメンブレイクで遊べて楽しいです。AUv3で使えたら神！
サンプリング①と②が隣同士で使いやすいです。UIも古き良き無骨な感じで良き。 アップルミュージックやスポティファイで曲をかけながら使えたらさらに完璧です！
