I absolutely love this app! I have wanted to learn to play the pan for as long as I can remember, however time, schedule and location has never permitted. This app allowed me to learn/ practice the notes, play and record songs. I am so excited about this and have shared with everyone I know! My cousins, my friends with kids, my musician friends...everyone loves the convenience and detail this app. Great job on the look, the aesthetics are well done.
Realistic Sounding Pan Tool!

As a musician who played along with steel drummers, I must say that this is a really nice app. It has a very realist sound, and I like the ability to choose the different types of pan. It's also a great tool for anyone interested in learning to play a pan. Wish that I could some day use a midi keyboard with the app, and Audiobus support would be fantastic. It would worth 10 stars or more. 😃
Outstanding way to practice

I looked through all of the online resources to help me learn the steel pan without actually taking my pan with me. Then I came across this app and was extremely pleased. I was able to master several songs and apply them to real life. Awesome app!
Sometime-y

I am just learning pan and i thought this would be useful. I find myself more frustrated than educated. Unfortunately I have to close the app and open it to try and get sound to come out of the digital pan. I’m not sure if I’m missing a button or if it’s my phone or if it’s the app. I really want to love it, but there are a couple of challenges. To the developers if there is something that I’m missing, please let me know.
Added the ability to save and reset rotated steelpans.
General app improvements.
