This app doesn’t rely on preset loops or gimmick effects, it’s as musical as you want it to be and the eye catching wheel interface helps generate sophisticated results. It allows you to create and combine chords, choose individual notes and develop unique rhythmic patterns for your music compositions using an array of real instruments from drum kits to guitars. The beauty about O-Generator is that YOU compose it. There are a few handy preset patterns to help you on your way, but all of these can be edited exactly how you want them. The Acoustic version is the first in a series of styles to be released. It features genuine acoustic guitars, drum kits, pianos and a double bass. Sketch down your ideas anywhere you get inspiration and export to garageband as a wav and take your ideas to the next level.
