The music aspect of the program is generally seen as a fun and accessible tool for beginners and those interested in creating chiptune or video game-style music, especially at a low price point. However, some users criticize it as being overly simplistic and more of a "toy" than a serious music production software, suggesting alternatives like SunVox for more advanced needs. Overall, while it offers an easy-to-use interface and is enjoyable for casual music-making, it may not satisfy those looking for a comprehensive music creation experience.
- “This program is really great if you're new to music making and want to branch out from really limiting phone apps.”
- “Incredibly easy-to-use interface full of pre-made, fully-editable music clips, makes composition easy for novices.”
- “Great for those wanting an easy way to produce music while paying homage to the 8-bit era!”
- “Not the best music making app on PC.”
- “This is a neat idea, but if you're looking for more than a toy akin to the old MTV music generator games, don't bother wasting the money on it.”
- “If you're at all interested in making music, chiptunes or otherwise, don't waste your time and money on something you'll be guaranteed to drop anyway.”
