Wierd like everybody else ,

Great app but it needs one more feature

Honestly great app, probably the best one out there on mobile for just playing around with music and loops. The only thing that’s missing is some kind of way to set an instrument to start playing at one exact moment so you don’t have to turn them on and off when you’re trying to make a song. I know there are sections but you can only make a different loop with the same instrument and if you add an instrument in one section it copies that instrument to every other section just without the pattern that you made. That limits the availability of making a normal song and what I suggested would, in my opinion, make making songs way easier.

Missing important features to be able create a song.

Dear Developer. The sounds are great, but there is a lack of 1) ability to play the whole song (all rows one by one) 2) ability to export the whole song (currently only 1 row can be exported) 3) Lack of Automation (features for synthesizers are great but not useful at all if can't be used it the song timeline). Do you intend to add these missing and important features in future updates? Thank you for your reply. Best regards.

Stems export bug

Hi this app is super I use it daily.
I have one small problem with stem export. They are quiet at the start. If I run in groove box all is ok but when I export them I get silence at the beginning and what should there is truncated from the end, especially for horizon.
Also I need 48k rate there is only 44.1 kHz.
Your app is good but please update it from time to time.
