easyBeats Hey all, I'm the developer of easyBeats and stumbled onto this thread via google. Firstly cheers to IVForLife for the thorough review, I was quite surprised to see something like that so soon. I made easyBeats because I thought there was room for drum/sample sequencer for the more casual user. BeatMaker is awesome and well worth the money but probably too much (in both features and price) for the people I'm looking to cater to. You can currently save and load 4 bar patterns that you create but it's true that there is currently no wav export. This is something that will certainly be rectified in a future update (I just need the time), but to be honest for a 1.0 version app I still feel that easyBeats is killer value . In any case as with my other application, the most requested features get the top priority so if you end up buying easyBeats and want something added then use our support page and ask for it . I think the first thing I'm going to add is an auto save when you exit the app, then look to improve the import/export features. The design can obviously be improved and I'm might look into that later on but it's harder (I'm a coder not a designer obviously )
Wow, nice to see a developer here. Well easyBeats looks like a very useful software with a great price. I hope it does well. I would get it, but seeing as I already have Beatmaker, I'll pass.
I have both Beatmaker and EasyBeats. I find EasyBeats a nice addition to my music apps .... yes Beatmaker does a lot more but EasyBeats is still a lot of fun, easy to learn, and useful. Of course it will be more useful when it gets the export option I really like the MelodyBox kit which is like Melodica or ToneMatrix. I don't think that it's entirely fair to compare the two apps .... yes they are similar but the creation process is unique and there are some different options in both apps. I must add that the in app video tutorial is great and something I'd like to see more developers do.
Synthpond is great and I used it to "construct" my final project for my last class for college, a Maymester course about the fourth dimension (time, for those who don't know, where both past and future coexist with the now) If I remember correctly there are 12 different pitches you can select in that app, so I put 12 nodes down, each with a different starting pitch. They rotated pitches, so to speak, at equal intervals, so that theoretically all 12 pitches would be sounding simultaneously thus producing a single tone. That's without taking account of listening position, which the app accounts for by letting you select where among the nodes you're listening. I had the nodes rotating around each other, too, so their positions were constantly changing relative to the listening position. Basically, you would hear different pitches constantly shifting even though a single overall sound was being produced. Sorry if this is confusing, I'm sure my wording's not very clear and you have to have used the app to visualize it, but the class thought it was pretty cool. In short, thanks, Synthpond!
So I was probably not going to purchase this, but was on the fence when I read ivforlife's review of it. But just because the developer took the time to talk to us, I decided to purchase it anyways (one more music app never hurts). Let me start off by saying that I am an avid Beatmaker user. easyBeats has SUCH tremendous value. I mean for it's price it's a simpler BeatMaker. Extremely easy to use, pick up and play, and user friendly. UI could use some work, but over all it's a very nice music recording/recording program. Would be cool to get some kind of import, but then again BeatMaker does that and this app was 2.99 lol. Awesome price, nice sound quality. And mega easy to use.
It's hard to pass up an Amidio app but I may hold off on this one .... I have so many sequencer apps. I am curious what Amidio has up their sleeve for the next app.
