The music aspect of Rytmik Ultimate is praised for its accessibility and ease of use, making it an excellent choice for beginners and casual music creators. Users appreciate the ability to create chiptune and electronic music quickly, with a drag-and-drop interface that allows for customization and sharing of compositions. However, some critiques highlight limitations in sound quality and ownership rights over created music, suggesting it may not meet the needs of more serious musicians seeking advanced features.

- “In conclusion, Rytmik Ultimate is the software that lets you become a musical virtuoso, all from the comfort of your gaming chair.”
- “Rytmik Ultimate is highly recommended for anyone looking to get into music design, or for anyone who just wants to make a quick and easy song for fun.”
- “Recently, they've (the devs) put in a clause that makes it so any music you make is basically owned by them. This makes this go from being something to use for programs like RPG Maker for easy music creation to making your SoundCloud rapper career an absolute no-go.”

Users find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious and unintuitive, particularly due to the need for constant manual scrolling to track the cursor during playback. While copying and pasting instruments is straightforward, managing larger projects becomes cumbersome, with limitations on layering and segment lengths further contributing to the overall frustration.
- “It is very easy to copy and paste your tuned instruments from one clip to another; however, it does become very tedious and can be difficult to manage as your project becomes larger.”
- “You might be hard-pressed to reach that limit; however, this does place a lot of restraint on your options and increases the tedious value of the interface.”
- “I am feeling some limitations. I won't explain exactly how it limits you, but you basically cannot endlessly layer things. This, along with the fact that everything is segmented and there's no way, that I know of, to change a segment's length, makes creating any longer melody or something like a solo kind of tedious.”
