The music aspect of the game is described as a basic yet enjoyable music creator tool, particularly suited for novice musicians and beat makers. While users appreciate its simplicity and fun factor, they report significant issues with saving and loading songs, which can lead to distorted playback and loss of sound quality. Overall, it offers a budget-friendly option for beginners, but its limitations in features and reliability may frustrate users looking for more advanced capabilities.
“A very nice music maker, basic and not overpriced.”
“Perfect for novice beat makers that are interested in making music!”
“While being very simple, you can actually make some sweet music with this.”
“Stepx is very nice, I love how simple it is and it's fun to use, but when I try to save a little song I make and load it up again, the program freaks out and plays my music like it's a video game running at a bad frame rate. It completely messes with the sound by cutting some of the sound clips in half and making my cute little piano ditty sound bad.”
“I have only messed about with it at the moment, but I would love to keep making dumb rap beats and cute keyboard songs. However, if it's going to make my tunes sound like garbage after saving, I'm leaving a bad review.”
“Fun but very basic. There are not a lot of instruments, you can only create short music, and there are not many options for tuning. But after all, I enjoy it.”
