Hi there,

I hope this is the right place. I'm developing a musical instrument app for Android and I while it is already released I am still looking for testers to weed out bugs & find lacking functionality.

The app is an expressive controller that enables you to play a 4 octave range with per-note pitchbends & aftertouch. After I took up Android development as a hobby I started this project to build something portable that still offers more expressivity than a small 2-octave keyboard.

Here is a teaser video on Youtube:

Here is the link for the Google Play Store:

If you are interested in providing feedback you can notify me for a download code

Cheers

I tried it but couldn't get any sound... Also the settings didn't open reliably when I pressed the hamburger bars. Looks nice though!

Hey! The app is in what I call "Pluck Mode" on default. You press the controls and then drag your finger to determine the note velocity. Maybe that's why it didn't produce sound. You can change the input mode in the menu (which is also what I recommend for the MIDI control function).

The menu is activated by a double tap to prevent it from opening by accident. I get this can be irritating but I feel it is worse to have the menu pop up unexpectantly while playing.

I hope this helps you use the app! If you have any questions feel free to send me an e-mail to the adress provided on the Play Store page
