Editors’ Notes
Propellerhead brings their incredible Reason software to iPhone and iPad, offering a powerful synthesizer in an accessible package. Create, record, and share beautiful melodies with automatic arpeggios, effects, and an expansive collection of sounds to get exactly what you’re looking for. The best part? If you make a mistake, you can correct and modify your work in the note grid!
Great synth, surprisingly limited pocket studio
The synth is what one would expect from such an established company, with powerful features and some unique elements. I also bought drums and bass as soon as they were released, expecting some upgrade over time, which never came. Most of the standard features one would expect from any music app of this kind are not there (swing, scales (only major and minor), time signatures, patterns, mixer, init sounds, maybe automations etc.), which is puzzling. So, you have this great synth surrounded by everything else which is stylish to look at but slightly below average, made by propellerhead, and it feels...meh
Cheap shot for the ego, not for creativity.
Very limited and basic sketch pad. My main gripes are the limited features of the sequencer and the fixed scales. There’s no ability for shuffle, fills, rachets or even the ability to manually tap in notes. The things that take time to program and make interesting music would be ideal to edit on the move with an iPad, rather than having to edits these sat at a desk. Also the ‘piano roll’ for europa and monotone are in fixed scales, major or minor with no option to switch between per track. This limits any creativity and makes the end results rather predictable. Do not expect this to enhance your creative palette, just to affirm what you already know. A cheap shot for the ego.
***another issue unresolved. If you activate the chord or arpeggiator, when exporting the files into reason it doesn’t play the notes in the same way. This means a completely different melody is printed compared to what you’ve composed in the app. Pointless
