Kind of Amazing

I expected this app to be like a mini-metronome or something. To my surprise and delight, Pattern Music is a full-featured music building program. Sure, it CAN serve as a metronome, but it's a full-featured one, with dotted half-notes and looping patterns. And that's just scratching the surface. Start adding some instruments, layer by layer, and Pattern Music allows you to build a sophisticated passage, sort of like a pocket-sized version of Garage Band (with a few less features, mind you!). I use it to play around with melodies, to build accompaniments, and yes, to noodle around with. All-in-all, I couldn't be more impressed. This one's well worth a look no matter where you are on your musical journey.
Good fun, good value for making music
I have tried a bunch of music apps, from Ocarina to some complex synthesizer apps. PatternMusic hits the right midpoint between simple fun that wears out quickly, versus a powerful complex musical instrument that is hard to get into .
Great Music App
Truly entertaining. a game, musical instrument, each tune becomes a little more complex as I learn some other tool I can apply to my tunes.The only problem i've had is the 3.5" screen of my pod, but the large box feature pretty much handles most of that. great app!
Awesomeness! A finely crafted and polished app. I could spend hours...

This is a really polished app. The developer really understands music creation and the iPhone. PatternMusic deftly combines simplicity with depth. Highly recommended!

This is a complex but user-friendly music app as well as a game. Considering how deep the program is, it's a steal at $5. I look forward to exploring all of the different things it can do.
