I’m a music artist and I wanted a good melody for a song. I generated one, downloaded the MIDI, and now it sings as an electric guitar in my DAW.

Really good app. Has some of the most unique algorithms for music production compared to anything else on the market.

The app is just amazing. I’ve enjoyed making music with it so much. I often create on the train to work, then finish the songs at home in Logic. Keep up the great work!

No need to enter prompts to generate music. Just a few clicks & voilà. Super fast, virtually no wait at all.

If you hate this app you’re genuinely missing out. Give it a go and start creating, especially if you’re a musician transitioning into producing. It gives you ideas in one tap.
