Getting to the point straightaway: MikroWave is in essence a "groovebox", a self-contained instrument where multiple sound sources (synthesizers and a single drum machine) are controlled by a sequencer with parameter and effects controls, to allow a musician to rapidly construct and control a pattern-based musical sequence. If this description boggles you, having a look at the video demonstration should clear things up.Well suited for quickly sketching out your musical ideas when on the move, patterns can be created in the sixteen step sequencer, with no limit to the amount of bars your composition requires. Apart from the basic waveforms there is also a secondary oscillator which can be routed to different targets for harmonically enriching your initial sounds. You can shape the basic palette from friendly cheesy 80s trumpets via stuttering robots to totally unlistene-able sonic mayhem. If anything, you can sure annoy people on the bus.For further improvisation there is a multi-touch keyboard allowing you to play along with the sequencer for quickly testing new ideas. When youre pressed for time, you can save a song in progress and return to it later for finishing your idea, or plainly reliving your initial enthusiasm when creating that bubbly, acid bassline over that funky beat you had a brilliant destination for.Apart from working from your mobile device, your songs can be exported in WAV format, uploaded to SoundCloud for direct sharing, or you can export your songs as MIDI data so you can continue work on your desktop computer / other hardware devices. You can also record a live performance directly onto your device.MikroWave is actively being updated, so keep your eyes peeled for notifications to be sure youre getting all the latest features. You may also aid development by leaving suggestions and sharing your ideas on the website.Just to be clear: MikroWave doesnt rely on samples for sound generation, but actually synthesizes sound. For best performance your device should run Jelly Bean (Android 4.2) though it should run fine on any recent device.Required permissions:Read / write from external storage / SD card. This is used for exporting your songs as audio / MIDI and for recording audio output.Internet access. Used for both accessing the online manual and for direct uploading of your material to SoundCloud.When in doubt, MikroWave is also available as a FREE version, note that saving of songs is disabled in this version.More information, development updates and video examples can be found on the project page : http://www.igorski.nl/mikrowave* fixed interface issue on Lyf Wind devices* keyboard view optimized on tablets for more comfortable playing performance* optimized pitch shifter performance

Oh man, I'm so excited that you added live recording mode! That take a great beat making app, and makes it awesome! Lots of fun to tweak different settings here.

This developer is very proactive regarding responding to emails, adding features and fixing bugs. This is an excellent app for synth geeks.

Promised to buy full ver if dev fixed display bug. Fixed quickly so bought this great app! Works perfect on old low tech Sam Galaxy Gio (pesant phone.)

Getting better and better.

Its good program and i paid for it ,but i wona have and kicks too

Well worth one dollar, I have sooo much fun with this. Just one issue, that when I loop any measure after the 1st one it cuts out on the first count. Never does that on the 1st measure. And add some different drum kits! Great app!

When Im tired of using my brain and just wanna have some fun ! Put together so well...hats off
