If you’ve ever been interested in a Teenage Engineering Pocket Operator, this app will scratch that itch. It’s quick to get something started, the effects sound great, and the live recording of parameter changes allows for a lot of happy accidents.

This app is a lotta fun to use. It’s clean, almost elegant, seems to be all written in Swift, could be wrong about that. It’s smooth, snappy, feels almost surgical. I hope MIDI out is on the horizon or in the devs thoughts. Not needed but would be appreciated!
