Personal Review
I’ll be honest—I’m not usually a fan of sequencers, but Diatonica won me over. It’s free, experimental, and the sound is just fantastic. Despite all its offers, the interface is easy to use, and it’s great for pushing the boundaries of your sound design. Whether you’re looking for something new to play with or need a fresh perspective in your music-making process, Diatonica is worth a try.
