SquareBeat is an iOS music tracker, similar to Polyend Tracker or the dirtywave M8 tracker. Make music, edit, add effects, and export your songs. SquareBeat lets you rapidly create songs with samples and AUv3 instruments. AUv3 effects can be added on a per-channels basis.
The most natural position to hold your phone in the vertical ‘portrait mode’, as they call it. Well, we already have a style of song editor that scrolls vertically, and it’s called a music tracker.
SquareBeat was designed to be used with one hand. This is an app you can pull out of your pocket at the train station, add a couple drum hits to your new song, and put back in your pocket in moments. You never know where inspiration will strike. And when it does strike, you want to get your ideas down before you lose them. Trackers are known for their fast composition and fluid workflows. Stop pinching and zooming! If you’re into Renoise, you’ll love this tracker.
