TweakyBeat

rocks like hell Ive never seen such a small music-application, that was so well balanced with the features. TweakyBeat is quirky, monophonic and full of personality, and it produces electronic loops with tons of groove Its super simple interface makes you build loops in seconds. Bell (USA) Excellent analog beats in a simple interface - exactly what an app should be - David Abranavel (USA) Super fun, and one of the best Ive found for making chiptone or 8bit style beats.
