"Square Beats is a Sequencer, a Looper and a Sampler too... How many tracks available? How many bars available? As many as you need! Square Beats is really original. You create Squares. A Square contains 8 tracks and 3 to 16 Blocks (steps). You can assign an instrument to each Square (Visit the Shop for more instruments), or create your own ones (8 samples for an instrument). All the editing features are controlled by gestures. It is really hard for me to rate Square Beats because it depends on what you want to do with it... Let me explain... If you want to create a little sequence without complex melodies you can work very fast and have a lot of fun but if want to create a "real" song (3 minutes and melodies) it becomes much more complex... Why? Because a Square can contains only 8 notes, so you will have to create perhaps three or four Squares to create your melody for one bar and use the pitch feature. You can't set the volume of each Square tracks separately, so you will have to create perhaps two or three Squares for your rhythm track. At the end when you want to create your song structure it can become the hell... If the developer added a structure track which would allow you to move or copy an entire bar or a multiple selection gesture or a the possibility to group some square (easy to say...), Square Beats would be great for these two examples (and the AudioCopy Paste feature too). In conclusion it is really hard for me to rate it, because it really depends on what you want to do with it. For its originality, its great UI, if you want to have fun working on a simple sequence, Beat Square is Super App!"
