Useful tool…but please
The latest update has made the entire interface unrecognizable, please adjust recent changes made that may not be necessary. This app is very useful in kindling ideas as they transition to your DAW.

Amazing! Couple ideas
Used the app for a few months now, and it’s been very helpful and fun to use for making songs! Was wondering if there could be a way to manage subscription from within the app to change/upgrade plan, as well as a potential option to import MIDI melody tracks? All in all an incredible app!
