SessionBand Piano 1 App Anmeldelser

What went wrong

I’ve been using this app for quite some time and been very happy with it but since iOS updated to 16 the quality is now appalling. Whether it’s anything to do with the update I’m not sure but it’s now unusable. I can find no way of contacting the developer to get it fixed so this is my only hope.

Do not buy if you are planning to upgrade to ios 13 on ipad

I love this program it offers such potential for songwriting YET it does not work on ios 13 on the ipad. I have two ipad pros 10.5 one running 12.1 and the program works fine yet on my other ipad 10.5 running ipad ios 13 it seizes up as soon as you try to switch the alternative style modes. So frustrating because I also bought the acoustic guitar program and it exhibits the same behavior. I do hope the developers will stay on top of this and put in the time to optimize this for ios 13 because obviously I will be upgrading all my devices to ios 13 which will prevent me from purchasing the other session band programs until these programs can work normally with ios 13.

Awesome!!!

Greatest value I have EVER had to support my music! I highly recommend these apps! Jim

Disappointed yet again

This has been an issue since the beginning. Still not syncing to correct tempo when importing into DAW of choice.

Thank you developers! People try this

I am a songwriter this is very helpful.

Amazing tool for songwriters

This app is wonderful it is helpful is sketching out songs and as a perfect practice partner. Always in time and all with a great attitude.

Unreliable

I really like this app, I wish there were more than 22 different piano styles. The only cons is it crashes every single time I use it. I had to delete it and reinstall it. It is downloading properly. Gonna try again. I give it a B-, excellent idea but needs improvements. Improvement

Great App, but......

Please add more chordal variations. The same can be said for the acoustic guitar apps. Otherwise, I love it.

Very useful

This app doesn't do it all, but what it does, it does well. If you need a piano part, and you don't play, this is a good place to start.

Sounds nice but has issues

Out of the box it works fine until you want to edit a track. Editing is very difficult and seems to crash the app. All Session Band apps no longer work with Audio bus. Instruments are great if you use it as is. This piano version is one of my favorites but the bugs warrant low rating.

Great, needs cross-SessionBand copy-paste

I use my iPad to practice guitar and bass. This beats many of the other tools I have been using for good jam tracks. I have five or so SessionBand apps now, and wish there were in easy way to copy and paste chord progressions between them. There are also choppy audio issues when I use audiobus that I expect you folks will clean up.

Brilliant.

I absolutely love this app!!! With single piano tracks, I can use this to create both a base track, and a lead sheet... which I can then use to add other instruments. Incredible. And the best part is the real ness of the loops. Amazing! The interface is simple and amazing. Brilliant.

Exactly right tool .

..for songwriter who can't play any instrument but always enjoy singing out of nowhere tune. This app can complete your song at first note... Love this app.

Wish I'd known

Wish I'd known before I paid for this that beats per minute can not be adjusted. That lack makes an otherwise brilliant app useless for production.

Fantastic songwriting tool!

I really love this app. I got this and the acoustic guitar version a few days ago. I've already got strong starts on about 6 new songs inspired by the playing and demo chord progressions. Some of these may make it to the track in Sonar X2 if I decide to produce something bigger. The sounds are quite good except for a few transition effects here and there. If it's mixed with other instruments, you would never notice those. I've done a few simple demos in GarageBand using Audio Copy/paste. Audiobus works but getting it synced with GB metronome was more trouble than it's worth. For a quick sketch of a new song, I just play back the loop in this app on my iPad, and record my voice and the instrument using the Voice Memo on my iPod touch. Not high quality but really quick and easy. This app is similar in some respects to Band in a Box on PC. I have used that program for years, and in recent years it's gotten really good with Real Tracks. Those are chords and riffs and other parts play by studio musicians and synced to the midi track which you defined by chord progressions very much like this app. BIAB is more flexible but also much more complicated and expensive.

Interface confusing, needs more flexibility

You cannot change the BPM for any of the loops which keeps you locked into the predefined BPM in the selected style. Without the ability to change the BPM, this app is kind of useless for creating music. The loops also have sound artifacts that can be heard in between some chord transitions. Interface is confusing.

Great App!

You can use this app in many ways - ear training, accompaniment, learning piano accompanying styles, composing tool, learning common chord progressions, and generating quick demos. It's beautifully implemented. I love the jazz and guitar versions of this app too.

Good idea but !

At least 3/4 2/4 & 6/8 demo tracks should be include, crash the first time I launch the app, never happen again... Please play button in edit mode, is a headache. The sound excellent and very helpful and really good for the price I recommended this app

Piano sessions rule.

This application works great for me! I love these apps I have been getting them all because of the simplicity and style of these apps! The graphics are also great on the iPad! I love creating mixes of piano tracks! Adjusting the tempo and creating instant loops is great!

Quality user experience

The app is well thought-out in terms of layout and design and the loops sound great...these are all songs I'm producing that can be put into my video projects and sent to paying clients. The tutorials are a bonus as well...the folks giving the lessons seem extremely knowledgable and it's worth checking out what they have to offer. So far good experiences with this application and will continue to use.
