Medly v4.0.3

This App allows we you to create a song very easily and fast.
Everyone can use it. Pro musicians and beginners as well.
Medly works a little bit like Garageband.
I explain...
First you create a new Project. Set the Scale and the Tempo. You create a new track. A Midi or an Audio track . You select the instrument you like. Then, you have 2 choices. Or you edit a blank pattern or you choose a pattern from the Library. Each packs from the Medly store comes with Audio loops and MIDI melodies and rhythms.
The developer offers me the Master Pack: 150 audio loops, 450 Midi patterns, 30 instruments. (Thanks a lot!)
I didn't have the others packs excepted the Starter one, but there are also a Rock, Jazz and Classical instruments Packs in the Medly Store.

Audio track and Audio editing:
At this moment, you can not import an Audio File into the App, but this feature will be add shortly.
You can record audio with the built in microphone of your iDevice.
You can trim an Audio File.
Midi and Midi Sequencer:
A Midi in feature. No output.
The sequencer works like most of all the MIDI sequencers. Tap to add a note, again to delete. Tap to add a note then swipe to the rigth to set its length. Tap and hold a note to set the accent (3 level). A snap feature is also available.
Track settings & FXs (Audio & Midi):
Volume, Pan, Echo, Reverb, Ducker, High / Low, and Pitch.
Delay rate 1/4, 1/8 & 1/16. No other Settings for the effects.
Automation:
All the track parameters can be automated.

That's all!
And enough!

To conclude:
For Pro musicians,s first:
Are you using Garageband?
For myself: never... (the only reason why I would like to reinstall Garageband into my iPad is Alchemy...)
Garageband is an hybrid App. Too many features for a beginner and not enough for a Pro musician.
Sometimes a friend ask me for a track.... Sometimes my muse is going to visit another Galaxy... Sometimes,...
Sometimes it's cool to have an App like this. Very easy to use. A lot of melodies and grooves and a very good Audio sample's quality for all instruments.

For beginners:
All the things that you need to create a track are in this App. Only 10 minutes to understand how Medly works. Not too many menus, settings,... So, you will never be lost.

I like the concept and I don't want to have too many features in the future updates. Perhaps only one or two more with the import Audio one. The ability to record the audio from another App and the ability to import a Midi file. That's all. For me, it's enough.
A Killer App, a Must Have have for beginners. An App that Pro musicians must have to remember the day when their muse is travelling to another Galaxy.

Notes:
  • As you can see there is no Video. I have a bug... Impossible to record the Audio. No input signal in Audiobus, AudioShare and AUM. So, I will send an email to the developer, and I am sure that this bug will be fixed very shortly. I will add the video as soon as it will be fixed.
  • When I am posting the What's hot today post, I always mentioned if I was able to join the developer... It's not a detail! In the past when I was a rich blogger, I never bought an App when it was impossible for me to join the developer. 2 reasons for this: first, bugs are naturals, normals! I am a Beta Tester for many developers and everytime we miss a few bugs.. Me and the Beta testers team. So, to be able to join a developer is essential! Secondly, if I decided to create Apps4idevices 12 years ago, it was for 1 reason. I was able to join a developer! I was able to ask him a new feature! To talk with him.... I am always a little bit angry when a famous Brand release an App and forget why me and others people love so much to make music with our iDevices. It's cool to have Apps from KORG, Audio Damage, IK Multimedia...' Top, but if tomorrow's they stop, I totally don't care... And in one way I will be very happy! I love independent developers, I love famous Brands when they play the game as Waves Mechanical... The other will destroy this community....

I had the answer and the solution too.
If you launch Medly first and after the host App, no problem the signal will be recorded.
Top!
There is a bug. Sure, but at the end not really annoying...
The developer will fix it. The update will be released at the begining of the next year.
So, don't worry, no problem!

    Because I can read everywhere a Policy...

    1. this blog is man by a human for humans
    2. I can make some mistakes (because I am a human)
    3. Nothing will deleted or removed from this blog. For my mistakes or angers, apologies and corrections will be added if needed.
    4. You can see everyday on a banner in the What's hot today post the Apps offered by a developer...
    5. If you participate to the Sunday Contest, you will have to trust in me... But, if you like you can asked me the email list of the readers who participate to a Contest included Time and Date. I will send it to you...
    6. My rating... The first criterion is the App Store description. The last one is my taste and this is totally subjective... Each post come with a tutorial showing you all the knobs, menu, faders,.... Everything that you will be able to find in an App... I hope that this will help to make your own rating.
    7. If I really don't like an App, don't understand it or found too many bugs, I send an email to the developer.... I asked him if the App will be update shortly, I also offer my services as Beta Tester.... Most of the time, I will wait for a future update... Developers are humans too!...
    8. All comments will be publish here. For insults, offenses or very bad mood, the only restriction is that you have to sign with your real name...
    9. I don't know... Peraphs that I will add something later.
