I purchased this to trigger live sound effects for theater productions. Ultimately I think it will be very helpful. A couple of kinks/suggestions for the developer:
* the app crashes on me if I try to save after making more than one change of any kind. For example, if I rename a sound and then load another sound, and then save, it crashes. If I rename a sound, save, then load another sound, then save again, all good. I've noticed it's only when I make multiple changes within the same save if that makes sense to people.
* the color coding is potentially cool, but the buttons only change colors when the sound is playing. It would be helpful to me if the colors could appear while the app is not playing anything. So say you have to trigger three different sounds in close succession, it would be great if you could see the colors _before_ triggering them.
* I'd like the ability to rearrange sounds after I've loaded them. i.e. shift their positions.
* I'd like the ability to scrub forward or back when a sound is playing.
* the Dropbox link feature is great!! Thanks!
* the link pads and loop features are also great!
* with the echo feature, it would be nice if you could save individual sounds to have echo, as opposed to having it be a global setting, where all sounds are either echoed or not. What if I wanted one sound 1/4 echo and then something else not echo? Would be nice to individually assign echo to the sounds.
* it's weird to me to have a menu marked 'preferences' when the only options inside are 'record as audio' or 'record as sequence'. Doesn't seem to justify having a full preferences menu, I'd recommend adding some other preferences people might want to switch around.
* what does the 'export' menu do? Couldn't figure it out.
* and on that note, I couldn't find a FAQ or help/instructions anywhere, that would be nice to add perhaps in preferences.
* the stock gun sounds are ok, I purchased the Rhodes pack and wasn't very impressed, it was a decent sound but really I don't think that (or any of the other instrumental packs) would be practical for most people. More of a novelty, I'd say. The real value of this app I feel is the ability to load one's own sounds.
Thanks and I hope some of this is helpful to other users as well as the developer.
Overall opinion: worth the purchase and am hanging in there for a bit more stability and improvements to current features.
