"Otoo is a brilliant little 'groove box for beginners' by BeepStreet."

Otoo is a fun, one-screen music maker designed to get you creating right away. Sketch melodies freely on the grid (no more rigid rows) and remix your beats live with hands-on Performance Mode effects. It’s intuitive enough to play without a manual, but deep enough to keep you growing.
