Ratings and Reviews
Good Potential but could be better.
I use this app for skeleton tracks while I’m on the go for various groups that I play drums for. I haven’t had a lot of problems with this app but, the problems I do have are my pet peeves. It’s excellent for 4/4 timing but there are some songs I have to do odd timing. Also it seems to be crashing to my home screen sometimes.
I hope the developers are still making updates and bug fixes because it would be nice to be able to use any time signature I want and need instead of just common time 4/4.
Terrible app
I don’t usually write reviews, but felt compelled to review this app after using it many times.
While using the app, it will frequently crash to the home screen on my iPad.
While making a beat, I have begun to notice that the app will sometimes rearrange my hits without me doing anything. It is safe, it just has a mind of its own to change my heads.
On the iPhone version that I have, the tempo of my beat is much faster when the headphones are unplugged, even though I have not change the tempo. The correct tempo will play when the headphone jack is in use. This does not happen on my iPad.
These features impair some of the functionality. I cannot recommend this app until more bug fixes improving use.
Additionally, I’m not sure whether the app will allow importing tracks from device to device. I had to remake all of my beat on my new iPad because I could not figure out a way to export them from my iPhone, and import them into my iPad.
Not the hardware but gets the job done.
I've been using the 2000xl for over 20 years and this a great option for loop making. It won't replace my machine but could be a great temporary substitute in a last minute emergency situation. It's worth the small price as well. Anyone who really uses a real MPC every week would appreciate this for reasons that a regular user would understand. My 2 cents.
