The music aspect of the game is described as a basic yet enjoyable music creator tool, particularly suited for novice musicians and beat makers.

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.”
