The F/X menu – where you can edit and tweak your recording. Although the buttons tend to be a little hard to press, the functionality of the app is still great.

The sound sequencer – where you put the song together. Simply tap a block to enter a loop, and tap it again to remove it.

The sampler – the 16 multitouch pads allow you to creatively put a loop together, and easily show off to your friends.

  • The buttons often don’t react quickly enough
  • Instructions provided by the developer are rather vague
  • The sound quality isn’t great when using speakers
    • But with headphones, it’s perfect
  • The syncing app for the computer is still in Beta testing and hasn’t been released yet (as of July 15th)
