This has been a 3-month venture so far. Would really appreciate any feedback/thoughts.

Thanks!




Have you tried Polyplayground for iPad? It's the same ball park but has more depth (synthesis) and versatility (mappable grid, MIDI output) and also implements some really interesting music pedagogy research.

Your app has a nice feel and UI. How are you synthesising your sounds?


Thanks for the feedback. Polyplayground looks interesting, but definitely a different approach in terms of UI complexity and entry-point.

I'd love to get MIDI into Fiddlewax. Hoping we can do that for the next version.

As for sound generation, we built our own module that can handle recorded samples, synthesis, envelopes, filters, and effects. Since Fiddlewax Blue is focused on being accessible for new musicians it doesn't expose much of it in the high-level UI.

There's a lot of ways you can hook things up and generate sound on the backend, so hopefully that'll be a fun thing to work on next (especially synth configurations) to give the experts a little more to chew on. :)
