Needs work, but massive potential

I'm willing to be a bit more forgiving when rating this app because it's pretty much exactly what I've been looking for. This seems to be the closest that an app comes to replicating the sequencing capabilities of the MPC. I hope they keep updating with stability fixes and more templates (TR-8 and BS2 please!) because i can definitely see this app being the heart of my hardware setup, right now though I don't trust it enough to take it to a live gig.

5* for a response.

Took a while to nearly master, and after being a little daft, I get a first response on this app review place thingy. Which fixed the problem I had. It's as close to Ableton Live and my DAW Bitwig clip launching as I know of in iOS. The results were brilliant. Thank you developers.

Developer Response ,

Hi there, it seems that you have activated the audio recording functionality on each track (the tape icon). This will record audio files as long as you have your session running and therefore cause big session files. Just deactivate the audio recording on each track and your sessions should be back to normal.

Crashes

So frustrating. Great potential that unfortunately doesn’t deliver. Never known an app so buggy plus can’t even get in touch with developers via website. Tried via Facebook but still waiting. That’s £20 gone for nothing
