But the app really needs an update with more functions (like that you listed in the candycaneforum). But it sadly seems like there will never be one. I also tried other apps like soundgrid, but with those you can't make music like with melodica. I don't know... I'd just like to have a "rating system" in Melodica, like in Soundgrid, because I want to share my songs and listen to other good ones. Right know its extremly hard to find any good ones, because 99% of the published are just bad. Maybe there will be an update now, after "Faad" made it free for one day and many people got it. But I don't really think it'll happen. I’ve been making grids on Melodica for a long time now, and I really liked it.

I'm hoping the next Melodica update will bring it more in line with what other similar apps are capable of.

SoundGrid has the melodica interface, but has 3 grids that play simultaneously, and each grid can have 8 variants that you can change on the fly. It also has six sound banks, including minor sounds, so you can have more complex melodies, and drums. Plus levels for each grid, and a very cool visual display of all the notes on the grid zooming in and fading out at once. Since every layer has different colored note/squares, it makes for a neat effect. I love Melodica, but I rarely use it after discovering SoundGrid.

Although maybe it could be used for anesthetic, like <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guan_Yu" rel="nofollow">Guan Yu</a> is said to have done by playing Go during an operation.

I might try this out if I ever get out of my Twitter loop. Excellent primer for the novice. I might try this out if I ever get out of my Twitter loop.
