Ratings and Reviews
Great sounds for Irish backup
I like the sounds. Very authentic bodhran loops. You really have to run the sound through a quality speaker or headphones to hear how great they are. They go well with session tunes and ballads. However there seems to be no pattern for a waltz or air. The various rhythm pictograms work ok to distinguish the patterns but I sure wish they also had written below these icons the meter (6/8, 4/4 etc.). That would make it so much easier to find things.
Great app but needs a few tweaks
Giving it five stars because 1) as a traditional pan-Celtic fiddler I was looking for an app like this, and 2) the app is free. It just needs a couple of things to be great.
1) Needs some BASIC rhythms, e.g. a selection of basic reel and jig rhythms. (Organized into groups, ideally). The loops provided are interesting and creative, but very few of them are useful for backing.
2) This is a bit of a nitpick, but what’s up with the volume slider? No bpm indication and the thing goes up way too high— it’s like the speedometer on my old Toyota Scion.
Auv3 would be cool.
I dig the drum sounds, would love the midi file of these patterns. Makes me feel like Conor Mcgregor and Donald Trump combined. putting people to sleep and grabbing pu-tters.
