I USE THIS ON STAGE!

Okay people complain about the pre-sets but truly im not finding anything out there with pre-sets especially on an iPhone that are perfect. Honestly you can input any sounds or midi files..wave files. I use this program to push beats through a whole schwack of filters so really it doesnt matter to me how good or bad pre-sets are. I find pre-sets on most things sucky anyways. That said the 808 and the 909 in Beatmaker seems to do me good enough. What I love this program for is to make and arrange beats. I can do a lot on my phone while im on a dog walk or on a bus or a helicopter. I do it everywhere. Compose whole tracks that I later use with a larger set up. I can export audio or even midi files that I can use with different samples later… i dont really find the synths very usable. Its a drum machine for me!! I like that you can utilize other music programs with in the context of a track….. for example "track 2 can be bebop or some other 3rd party synth or drum machine" Its great. I wish there was an easy way to attach a midi keyboard to a phone..(maybe there is?) I cant imagine having a creative process without this tool.
