It's a super simple sequencer, using emoji (and all the semiotics that go along with them) to represent the set of samples making it fast and super fun to create rad soundtracks.
Yup, that's pretty much it. We wanted to keep it simple for people to make music or soundtracks for their Bytes, so we used an input interface that everybody is already familiar with. There are a few twists though: try tapping an holding to access the advanced note controls. There you can swipe up or down to change the octave or add 1/4 subdivisions of each step. Or from the sequencer view, swipe left to add more to the composition.
As someone who really enjoyed the music composer in Mario Paint for the SNES, this feature tugs on my nostalgia.
Oh didn't know about the octaves thing! Ta!

Have feedback?
"emoji synth" caught my buzzword eye but I have no idea what that means. Explain?
