Muro Box

If you, like me, absolutely LOVE music boxes, you won’t find a better app than this one! The people that made this app possible also produce actual PHYSICAL music boxes—which aren’t your typical wind-up music box. No, these are MIDI-controlled music boxes that can be paired with the app wirelessly, and can therefore play THOUSANDS of songs on either one, two or four metal combs (depending on which model you get)! I don’t currently own one myself (and this is not a sponsored review either), but it’s been my dream for several months now to own one. Also, I had docked one star on my previous review of this app because of an issue with the loop and shuffle buttons literally not working at all. But the developers are AWESOME, and they had that bug fixed within a week or so, so here’s your star back, guys! You deserve it! :-)

The hardware is pretty incredible, and the app does a good job of making for a seamless integration. I'd love to see a bigger library of music available in-app and an improved search feature. Importing midi files is easy, but keep in mind the limitations of the Muro - transpose to C Major between C4 - A6, keep the tempo reasonably low, and reduce repetition of the same notes being played consecutively. The Muro itself is beautiful, whimsical, and inspiring. I look forward to further development!
