The program is a fun and simple music generator that can produce interesting and usable tracks for indie game developers.
It's an affordable option for those who are not musically inclined, making it accessible for beginners and hobbyists.
The interface is easy to use, allowing users to create music quickly and enjoyably, even if the results are sometimes random.

The overall appearance and quality of the game may remind players of outdated software, detracting from the experience.

The music generated by the program is highly praised for its creativity and usefulness, particularly for indie game developers and RPG Maker creators. Users appreciate its ability to produce intricate, soothing, and entertaining randomized music, even if the interface is considered unattractive. While some find it fun and accessible for beginners, others note that it can yield surprisingly solid results, even impressing professional musicians.
- “The program looks ugly, but the music it makes can be very interesting and useful for indie game developers or RPG Maker creators.”
- “I make music to fall asleep to, and by running the music through the program at the same time as another song through a media player, I can create very intricate randomized music that is both soothing and entertaining.”
- “And, using randomization (with persistence), I managed to create a tune that my professional musician friend told me sounded solid.”
- “I am totally hopeless at making music.”
- “But I am a game developer who can't afford to hire musicians.”
- “So I tried 'mu-gen - the music generator': powerful but a little confusing; '1bitdragon': very powerful but deep and daunting for a complete novice like me.”
