Ratings and reviews

Don't get me wrong, this app is fantastic, but some instruments in the built-in soundfont on the mobile version are of noticably lower quality compared to the PC version, most notably the piano instruments. I had this app back when the built-in soundfont was introduced, and when it was first introduced, all the instruments in that soundfont sounded the exact same between the PC and mobile versions. I would greatly appreciate it if this problem is fixed in a later update.

I'm enjoying the app a lot, but there are a few things I want changed. 1.(bug)If you go to a part where a channel's volume is changed, the volume will not reset if you go back where it has different volume. 2. I want to be able to add notes, cause right now you can only remove notes, so I have to use SeeMusic. 3. I want to be able to use a 128 key piano for songs that use 128 keys. 4. Sometimes the edits I make are glitched/removed for some reason. Other than that, I don't have many complaints!

I've learned more songs in my four years of playing piano than with any other music software. But I have a suggestion. For everyone who doesn't have a MIDI keyboard, the app should have a sort of microphone operated sound detection algorithm (or whatever you would call it) which allows for the app to register what sounds come from the piano and show them on the screen via the audio feedback from the microphone. It's a genius idea and I think it will benefit all who don't own a MIDI keyboard.
