Sounds very randomy to me.
I’d definitely be interested in the iPad version if they introduced mico-variations, undo or quick save/recall patterns, bias towards note/values extremes or centre, turn it into a plugin for iOS DAWs and make it completely midi controllable…basically, I’ll check again in the future, hoping in something more suitable for professionals and worth investing accordingly
