8Bitone+ MICRO COMPOSER App Reviews

4 out of 5

8bitone is a nice little music tool. Its easy to learn. I just miss WAV / midi Export and Audiocopy into beatmaker.

Really nice interface

This has a really nice interface, complex but easy to use. Only downfall is that you can only use 8 bit synths - maybe we can get more?

Amazing!

At first I found it really complicated but you just need to go through it step by step. Make different intruments and not just synths. Oh and make demo voices so its easier to make a song. Lots of fun!!! Probaly the best app I have. AmaZing!!! And only. 99cents. Definetly worth the money! I would pay $6 for this app.

best 8bit synth

great app.really fun and great learning.Id like to see a tutorial for making purcussion sounds.or have new additions to the syth itself.keep it up!

sweet

pretty awesome but could use a few things. it would be nice to be able to copy more than one block in the sequencer. so if you have a musical phrase thats longer than one block, you could easily loop it. other than that everything works pretty great for $3! One last thing though: what on earth does that green circular button do at the top of the screen near the metronome?? Someone needs to write a comprehensive guide for this thing!

Please make improvements

4 tracks is not enough, and Im disappointed that the tracks cant be edited while the loop is playing. If you can fix these problems I would rate five stars!

Really fun but needs export to audio copy

Needs export to audiocopy, or dropbox or something. I cant believe Id have to record out to an computer or portable recorder to get the audio. Come on dudes!! Update please!

Nice!

Nice composer. Needs instruments presets, wav export, syncable music (or downloadable in some way). The rest is nice and easy!

Really fun, well made chiptune composer

The interface is very easy to use, great design, although my big fingers get in the way of the tiny dials at times. Its a remarkably full featured music editor. Very impressed by the tunes I was able to create, and just how quickly I was able to create them. The only feedback I would have is that deleting notes is a little tricky, I would prefer a simple double tap on the note to delete it as opposed to selecting the note, then selecting delete. Great app for making chiptunes, looking forward to hours of experimenting with this one, not to mention seeing how it holds up for a live performance once Ive put together a few good tunes. Great work Yudo!

Cool app advanced user

Better know what you are doing but it got potential to really create full tracks like in the good old times Really good graphics and use of the gesture and multi touch

Amazing

I love this app. Great for making fun chiptune music!! Amazing interface and extremely easy to use. All the sounds and arps are great, youll be making tunes in minutes. As much as I love using noise for percussion I would really love to see some low bit drums(kicks, hi hat and snares) kinda like lsdj:)

Awesome synth

This a great synthesizer for being on a phone, lots of features and sounds great.

Great app, lacking support

While this isnt the best synth and sequencing app on the iPhone, it certainly is the most comprehensive and innovative title to date. Being a huge fan of chip tunes and gaming in general, I was very exciting when I first heard about this program. And while it lives up to my expectations, there is a severe lack of user comparability to a certain degree. Yes the app itself is easy enough to use if you know your way around even the most basic of sequencers or synths, but if you run into trouble...well, youre pretty much flat out of luck. To date the only manual available is in Japanese. And the user help online is virtually non existant. I suppose it takes time for anything to form a fanbase, abs hopefully this is the case with 8bittone. Youd think that an English translation would be included with the app, but the link provided in the program only takes you to a Japanese information page. Apps like this are all about figuring things out yourself, but there is a certain degree of a learning curve involved, so unless you already know what youre doing, theres a good chance youll just be lost at sea with no direction to guide you to shore.

Cool but buggy

I have found it pretty straight forward to use, and quite cool but have run into some definite bugs in the short time Ive used it. The copy/paste behavior can be weird and inconsistent. Ive also had some crashes (2 or 3) trying to rewind in the piano roll screen. Hopefully all this will get smoothed out. Other than that, very cool app.

Great app

5 stars for the app but minus one for no English manual.

crash bug

I was moving the loop points around in the demo song and when it tried to loop the game froze. It happens 100% of the time. I have a 3.0 firmware. I left a message on the website. Also the Yugo channel really slows down loading and just offers advertisements. When I pay money for an app I dont want advertisements. When the app launches it must download the ads because I thought the app was frozen until the tv icon started jumping around with a "tap me" message. If anything we should be able to disable it!

well done, but not perfect

This is extremely impressive. Quite an achievement. HOWEVER, to justify the price tag, PLEASE update it to include "preset" voices. It is frustrating to have to manually figure out how to create a "bass drum" kick sound, and if I finally get it, I will have to devote one of the only 4 possible tracks to that 1 sound. Please make it easier for the average user by loading it with optional pre-made voices - like NESynth does. Otherwise, that app is going to win over potential buyers.

Outstanding

If you are even familiar with the phrase "chip tunes", you need this app. Very robust editing, great graphics, and loaded with potential.

Powerfully Powered Up  

Awesome App that is very good at what it does. Only complaint I have is the small buttons are hard to hit sometimes. Expect a good but steep learning curve 

Worth it

This is worth every penny, it has relatively simple controls, and you can do a lot with what they give you
