We’ve all seen this behavior on our computer software, but for some reason it is often missing in the mobile world. If you keep the button pressed down, the value continues to change in that direction, ramping up in speed the longer you press it. Many values can be adjusted using a button on either side of a counter, showing the number you are changing. There is one specific choice that the devs made which I wish could be made mandatory in all similar cases. So, a learning curve is present, and you should expect it, but you should also trust that the developers have actually created a very useable canvas for music creation.

However, having played with the sequencer for a weekend, I realized that I was very quickly doing exactly what I wanted, without having to think about it anymore. If you hit ‘Done’ before ‘Draw’ your note is lost forever. Pressing the edit button in step sequencer mode will give you a new note to play with, but it doesn’t actually remain on your score until you hit the ‘Draw’ button which not only sticks that note but also provides you with a new one. This was not the only time I found myself somewhat at odds with the workflow and certain parts really seemed counter-intuitive.
