The music aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with users praising its ability to import various music formats and its utility as a learning tool for musicians familiar with reading sheet music. However, many express disappointment over the limited song selection and the need for additional purchases to access more content. Overall, while it serves as a valuable resource for practicing and developing musical skills, it may not satisfy those seeking a broader library of popular music.
“There's a bunch of compositions you can play out of the box, and they're done pretty well if you're into classical music.”
“Basically, you can import MIDI, ABC, MusicXML, and GuitarPro formats and then, with a bit of editing, jam to your favorite anime, game, or movie soundtracks.”
“This is frankly good music software and something I would recommend to more formal amateurs and music students alike.”
“Base game sucks; only one song not dropping another 20 on the editor. Wish I could get my money back.”
