Decent for some time
Could be much more representative of Enos style of music creation. The tones are limited, there is no way to modify the attack of sounds or to make them last. Also there seems to be no way to switch off the random background noises that happen without the users control. Could be a great thing. I like the panning function where the sound is placed left or right depending on where on the screen you click. In Bloom it is much more intuitive to get used to the different moods (I understand they are just different modes of different keys as well as different colors). By get used to I mean learning what each one actually changes and using it in combination with the echo in order to make interesting modulations and stuff of that nature. And there are 12 moods, like zodiac, thats cool. I feel like I have barely any control with Trope. Bloom is better for me in that respect, though I feel bloom is limited too. Cool stuff, but Ill stick to listening to Eno.
Sorry but it just feels like Eno and Chilvers threw together a near interesting low grade simulation of ambient music thats prettier than it is usable and marketed it as four separate apps. Thats genius I guess, and Im gonna use it now that I spent the money on it. But for anyone looking for usability and playability, turn around and get something else. If youre looking to relax and help fall asleep, get this. Or just listen to Eno. Okay. Thats it. I dont know if I said everything but that doesnt matter much. Goodbye.
