The main shock for me was that the sequencer doesn’t let you set/change the pitch of sounds. So you need 1 sound for each note in your melody. Which gets kind of cramped withonly 16 pads.

I’m sure this’ll be remedied in an upcoming version. I’m really enjoying the program and convenience of being able to work on music on the train or wherever. I have no problem using the touch screen which is very responsive, and no problems reading the text. if you have poor eyesight you’re going to need your glasses. But that’s true of any iPhone app with any complexity.

Comments have been made about this app crashing, but i think that’s more to do with iPhone 2.0 than anything, as all the apps are equally reliable… also if you sync to iTunes the phone tends to crash all downloaded apps, just delete a smaller app and redownload it and they’ll all work again.

[...] For musicians, there is Stay in Tune, TyroRuner (guitars only), and OmniTuner to tune your instrument on the go. If you want a mobile click track check out Orfeo or iMetronome. For DJ types, MixMeister scratch (cool concept, reviews not great though) and BeatMaker (see a review and video here). [...]

Being currently in the design phase of an iPhone music app myself (quite a different approach though) I must say that I am absolutely impressed with this app. It is amazing… And since this is the first generation of music apps I can only imagine what is in store in the future for the iPhone / itouch as a portable music production platform.

Fantastic work and kudos to Intua for their efforts!

Just in case the developer is reading comments here, here’s another vote for audio recording/looping/sequencing through the built-in mic. That would be the killer app for me - I don’t care about the audio quality. For many songwriters, the ability to record a simple song sketch - with beats, melodies and instrumental hook ideas - quickly and easily would be the holy grail of iPhone apps.
