This is a fantastic idea and lots of fun to play with -- for adults and kids alike! Well-suited to the touchscreen. Kudos to the author.

On the con side, the lack of expandability is very limiting. User-defined scales and more instrument sounds would all be very welcome. Even the most basic Western/European scales of major and minor are missing. It takes extra effort to make interesting music with unfamiliar scales.

Very cool idea! Great for kids, too. However, the lack of ability to add user-defined scales is a huge limiter. (Of course, "asking for the moon" would include having different beats and instruments as well, but different scales would be a huge start.) As a Westerner, I miss good ol' major & minor. It's harder to make interesting music when the scales are unfamiliar to you, but with a little extra effort it can be done.

It's great! I love it!

It would be nice to allow user defined scales. (With ratios and/or percentages.)
