TWEAK YOUR OWN SOUND

• Take your custom sample library on the road by importing or pasting sounds from other apps.

ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES

• Surprise yourself and make endless variations of one loop: give each of the four channels a different length.

• Create your own original grooves by changing the swing amount and BPM per step.

GREAT TEAM PLAYER

User Reviews

Triqtraq is great for quick ideas and sampling with a strong library and export options, but it suffers from a lack of landscape iPad support, no metronome, a clunky UI, and very limited melodic sequencing. It shines as a fast, creative tool for beat-making and experimentation, but isn’t ideal for melody-driven production or long-term updated support.
Pros
  • Fun and easy to dive into for quick idea generation
  • Robust sampling/looping workflow with the ability to import your own samples
  • Strong onboard sample library and broad creative potential
  • Good export options and interoperability with other apps (Open In, etc.)
  • Value for money given the included features and capabilities
Cons
  • No landscape orientation support on iPad (landscape mode missing)
  • Audible metronome/tempo click is missing
  • UI/UX is often described as sloppy or unintuitive with a wonky workflow
  • Melodic/sequencing options are very limited (1-bar loops, no keyboard, limited subdivisions)
  • Perceived stagnation/older feel with limited updates and broader iPad support

Will give 5 stars if developer adds landscape for iPad
by Ra*****, 2021-02-23

Please add a metronome or a click to the tempo/BPM section. It takes the guess work out when initiating a loop. Thank you.
by I *****, 2020-06-02

That’s pretty much all I can say. This app has huge potential but its sloppy UI and lack of basic features (mainly an audible metronome) make it feel like an outdated toy.
