Incredible app

Funsite salwa go subscribe PLZ
To be honest it did take a long time to get it installed and uses very much a lot of storage, however the music is lit and is extremely hype or as sad as you wish. I really enjoy this app and it always cheers me up when I’m feeling depressed or bored. I definitely recommend whoever is reading this to download the app, furthermore to make sure that you have enough storage.

Quarter tone and oriental instruments

it's a wonderful program .. the sounds of musical instruments are very realistic But the program needs two very important things First, add the ability to modify quarter-tone Second: Adding oriental musical instruments such as the oriental lute, the oriental flute, the oriental clarinet and the qanun, and oriental percussion instruments such as the tambourine, the tabla and the riqq.Please pay attention to user comments. I've written reviews about the software before, and I'll write them again. This program is very cool and the sounds of its instruments are amazing, there are hundreds of thousands of Arabs who want to use it, but the following must be taken care of so that they can use itAdding oriental musical instruments such as: oud, violin, Arabic flute, Turkish clarinet, and adding a quarter tone to it.Added oriental percussion instruments such as tabla and riqAdd a quarter note for violin and celloMake playing the violin sound like a Chinese erhu instrumentThe ability to easily and quickly extract the midi file directly from the Garageband program so that we can master the audio of the music being recorded through this program. Thanks, please pay attention
