Users appreciate the built-in instrument sounds, editing capabilities, and the educational support it provides for understanding music theory without overwhelming complexity. Overall, it serves as an effective "musical sketchpad" that enhances creativity and streamlines the music production process.
“Odesi is essentially a musical sketchpad, which not only facilitates being able to quickly put some ideas down, but perhaps more importantly, it helps a lot with inspiration for new ideas for chord progressions, melodies, drum patterns, and bass riffs.”
“If you are looking for a much faster and simpler way of making your own tracks and music without the complexities of other advanced DAW software, then Odesi is perfect for you to get started.”
“This is a great, simple-to-use piece of software; in only a few minutes, I was creating awesome music and beats.”
“However, I didn't recommend this if you have 0 music knowledge.”
“It could use a couple of improvements, more instruments (coming in updates), and the ability to use it offline, but other than those minor things, I recommend it to anyone wanting to make some music.”
“Review: if you don't mind the clunky UI, then this would be an invaluable tool in significantly reducing music production time.”

Users report significant stability issues with the program, citing persistent bugs, lag during playback, and unreliable VST support. Despite extended use, many find the software continues to exhibit these problems, leading to frustration and a lack of precision in performance.
“I used this program for a solid 12 or so hours, but it is so buggy now.”
“It's buggy as hell, and doesn't give you any precision at all.”
“Update: after using for a while longer, I still find it buggy and lagging. VST support is inconsistent; it turned up but then somehow decided they would all not make a sound, and then upon closing and reopening, they were gone. I added them through VST again and nothing.”
