WAG ERG

ERG (verb): the act of casually creating fresh drum sounds and beats using Wag's Euclidean Rhythm Generator.
Within moments of booting up, it's possible to generate an abstract, ambient, or idm loop. The sound mixes perfectly in open air with a Buddha Machine or sx150 synth, for example.

INSTRUCTIONS: (1) hit "add sound" (2) randomize the sound's color and sequence to your liking (3) hit the radar to return to the black screen & add more sounds (4) hit the color blocks to play a sound and return to it's controls for further modification.

BACKGROUND: Sounds are randomized with DrPetter's SFXR ... "an MS Paint for sound effects." Sequences are randomized using Toussaint's concept of generating traditional world music beats via the Euclidean Algorithm, which "reveals a tantalizing pattern."

DONT ERG AND DRIVE, SIP SLOW, PEasE !~

No longer works because it requires Adobe Air which seems unavailable as of this writing. Used it before and it was excellent, hence two stars.

Doesn't work. Downloaded the app, and it wouldn't start without another app called "Adobe Air" which isn't on the Play store, so it's broken.

I like the experimental aspect of this app but it still needs ability to at least save and adjust volume of each sound. The only thing I'm ever concerned with apps like this is how can I use it in my studio production. I want to see it used with Buddha Machine.

I'm no godly music type but yeah...me and my pet dog had a jig about the garden whilst tranced by this synth tool. Great. I like that i can randomise things and the colours are cool:-)

On its own, it's fun-ish and musical-ish. Needs more options and control for it to be truly inspirational or expressive, but I guess it could be a decent rhythmic noise source for sampling.

A. G. u. Jul 12, 2012     

Makes noises but not really musical, yet. Has potential though. Needs more controls, timing and configurability.

A. G. u. Jul 7, 2012     

I'd like to say it's a nice idea, but unfortunately there isn't much of an idea there; maybe fun for 90 seconds, but with no musical value.

because I love the beats this thing makes. seriously my new favorite since switching from iPhone to Droid.

I could spend whole day jamming and listening to the odd sounds and rhythms of this great and promising software! Just add more complex rhythms, save/load and volume adjusting per channel. After that I would gladly even pay of this software!

Great app. Would appreciate a save feature but levels is more pertinent. Please keep developing this app. Very exciting

one of my favorite apps. is getting a 4. cause there is lots of room for inprovement. i actually used it at a live performance today :-)

Vis. L. Jan 27, 2015     

I've seen the version with volume control and who knows what else on the internet, please pretty please update it to the play store :3

A. G. u. Jun 1, 2011     

Would pay for this if: ability to make clock larger. Touch sensitive clock so you can speed up slow down reverse or scratch the beat. Ability to save

A. G. u. May 1, 2011     

Might be useful if it had a way to export the beats. As it is, it's sadly little more than a funny experiment.

A. G. u. Aug 14, 2011     

Wish there was a few more features, mixer, part loop, save/load, effects. Love it love it, more please!

A. G. u. Jul 4, 2011     

Very good polyrhythm generator, for experimental use, which is the best use anyway. Would like the abiity to load own samples, a mixer, and tempo control. I encourage the developer to keep up the terrific work.

This app is unintuitive, poorly designed, ugly and makes unpleasant, useless sounds. It also requires adobe air. Uninstalled.

A. G. u. Apr 27, 2011     

My ears! They bleed! The awesomeness is too much for them. props to the spawz & wag erg

The best companion to feeling glum on the market. Also, hello Matthew

CK. H. Mar 1, 2014     

One of the worst apps I have ever seen , my dog could write a better program . How do you people rate this as a 4 star app?? Beating your head on the wall makes better sounds

A. G. u. May 3, 2012     

I love this, but I want more editing capabilities and no lag when adding new sounds and sequences. Make a pay version with these upgrades, please!

A. G. u. Apr 20, 2011     

I really like this can you please add volume faders for each sound maybe? And I like to overlap it with other apps so please don't let it kill on exit

mr. T. D. Dec 14, 2013     

Sound like my old commedore oO. Ooh and it need you to install adobe air also, ...

A. G. u. May 9, 2011     

I want the features the browser version has on my phone! Then it would be awesome! Evo

A. G. u. Jan 27, 2015     

Love this simple layered noisemaker!!!if it had ability to save loop/ layer set would give it five stars!!!

A. G. u. Apr 14, 2011     

This may be the coolest drum machine ever. Thanks!!

Den. S. M. Feb 11, 2013     

If I knew it required Adobe AIR, I wouldn't have installed it.
