This is not a fn toy.

Anything can be used in the current paradigm dynamic of iOS audio. This is the same developer that brought us two of the must haves - AUM and AudioShare. So with that in mind, think about how the audio you have in AudioShare can be coughed up and spit back out backwards on a loop next Thursday ... something like that. That being said, if you are not already comfortable enough with experimenting music you might see it as impractical. I have noticed that it lends itself to the crazy rock n roll that kids are listening to today with their crazy hair and denim loafers. Yikes! What’d it called? Dumbstep? Dump stump? Yeah that. When you take speeches and phrases from #thedonaldtrump and make them available to this app, what ends up happening is something of a miracle ... he makes total sense.

If you're like the guy who left a poor review because what this app doesn't fit his musical style, fine. But if you love to explore, be surprised, appreciate true innovation and beautifully designed apps, just get this app!!I have to be careful when I open up Sector because most of the time I'm going to finally look up several hours later and realize I only have a couple of hours to sleep before work the next day. It is so engaging, fun, and beautiful to use, that I can get lost for hours.I recommend this app to anyone who loves to explore and has an open mind about musical ideas. No go have some fun!

And it’s even more fun!With iOS Music MIDI and audio tools making it easier to generate repeating loops, it can be tempting to devote way too much time to arranging clips in order to get music with enough variety that it’s worth zoning out to for a few hours. Sector last you take that catchy motif and twist it into an ever evolving groove.Still wishing for iPhone and AU versions! I’d love to be able to run multiple instances of this in AUM and let simple loops intertwine for hours on end.

Just bought it and this thing screams for jungle and IDM, experimental industrial etc. Really great way to use my field samples and drum kits. The guy who said it has poor audio quality is wrong. It’s crystal clear and really inspiring. Use it with AUM and Inter-App Audio to add your own effects to really go wild. Pair this with Replicant 3 and FAC Smash to see what I mean! Absolutely great.
