DanielX.net Paint Composer Reviews

Paint Composer is a simple music composer that covers that urge to annoy my friends with chiptune music. I've never played the original Mario Paint, but Paint Composer has a lot of details that make the songs sound great. The paid version (compared to the free web version) adds sections which helped a lot, though could be improved. It's so easy to export songs (straight to mp3/wav or sending a link is great). No major issues with any of it overall.

its a buggy mess, changing the instrument of channels 9 times out of 10 make them revert back to the synth instrument, it crashes, rendering to mp4 makes the song alternate between 4/4 and 3/4 making the notes bug out and loop forever. for 20 bucks, this is NOT worth it, would not even be worth it only for 10 bucks. as buggy as this is, it should be freeware, not a PAID product.

great simple music editor that got me into making music! it's very simple so relatively easy to use.. If you arent sure yet then you should try his web version cuz it's free. btw i'm not sure how to import soundfonts or if that's even available, but i would really appreciate it

Super fun and engaging way to create music. This is great fun for composers and arrangers of all skill levels. I like how it is a fun and casual setting but is still similar to actual notation programs. 10/10 recommend!

Pretty cool, I love composing with Mario Paint and this saves me a few steps. Good price as well.

fun to use for what it is. could use more sounds, but i'm ok with it's simplicity.

Super simple and great for composing music reminiscent of retro games. Really fun to mess around with, and I'm sure if I actually understood music theory I'd be able to make some crazy stuff. Keep up the great work and I'm excited for more updates!!

I love this game, is exactly what I expected from a music compositor. Beside the limitations of scales it was really helpfull and allowed me to compose small pieces of chiptune. I like the interface and the instruments also the option to add effects is amazing (I wish Dev add more soon). My favorite part is how easy you can export your creations (on mp3 format) and share it with friend I recommend this app for eveyrone that want to just have fun with music or want to create their own game soundtracs and even if this app is free on the dev website you can buy the steam version and support this great project cause it totally worth it.

This is an early access review and may not be fully applicable to future updates. That said, what we have here is a nostalgic take on a Mario Paint style music composer, with many more options than the old SNES game ever did. Much more precise note placement with the ability to snap to different note positions, sharps/flats with convenient keyboard shortcuts, and most importantly, the ability to copy and paste to save on the tedium of repeating notes! The UI still is a bit rough around the edges in a couple areas such as the save/load interface and lack of full documentation, and the interface for editing song sections is not intuitive at first. But those should be smoothed out in future updates, and there are no show-stopping bugs that I could find. Looking forward to seeing where this goes in future versions, and I'm planning to make some fun retro songs with this. Recommended if you have a creative mind and enjoy playing around with making a song or three!

It's evident this program is still in some form of a beta state. Unfortunately, support was obviously dropped a long time ago, so it will remain a broken beta. I would save your money and stick with the online version should you wish to use it.
