Is this better than Virtuoso? Nope, not even close. However, this is a nice app as far as music creation apps go in VR. I would say this is okay & a nice start to Early Access. It's budget-priced, so I can recommend it, but there's other's I would recommend over this one.

Basically, at this time, in Early Access, you're really limited to the synthesizer, the drum kit, & the looper. That's it as far as tools that you can use. It's got some nice things like the automatic in-rhythm option that is also an option in Virtuoso so that you sound better as a beginner. You can set the metronome sound as well or a have your controllers vibrate to keep you in rhythm or you can use lights. You can also have a backing drum kit playing to inspire you.

Within the drum kit & the synth, there's many different sounds you can choose from. You can also bend volume, twist your controllers to get more volume or a different sounding drum kit sound or even bend notes. You can record the different loops and then export them to your PC for your later listening pleasure (or displeasure as was in my case).

Game is running on the Unity engine. On my RTX 3080, I was getting a steady 90 fps. I did not experience any serious issues or bugs. The only bug I noticed was that it would not save your volume setting for the synth.

Overall, this is a simple music creation looping software for VR that is easy to learn. You can definitely make some nice music or terrible music. However, you are limited by the limited nature of the app in Early Access. You can change volume or delete loops, but you can't create layers for their timing in the final product. So they automatically loop until the overall loop is done. There's no mic. There's no community functions / sharing.

Rate 6.5/10. I'm scoring this high because it's budget-priced and easy to use, but I would recommend several other VR music apps, such as Virtuoso, before this one.

Ok firstly a disclaimer, I dont have a musical bone in my body. I don't play any instruments, honestly a triangle would be a push too far. But I've been messing around in this for over an hour. The sounds I've created wont ever be appreciated by anyone, but I came out of this with a smile on my face. Its gonna take a bit of patience, if ever, but i'm really enjoying myself.
There's so much more to this than first playaround will open. I would like to see more tutorials, but I'm enjoying it and cant wait to see where it goes. I believe a demo is coming at some point, give it a go, just play with the sounds and perhaps yours wont sound like a cutlery in a tin pot being pushed down the stairs !!

VR motion-based music creation tool. It's fun to play around a bit, but requires at least some musical abilities (which I don't have) to make anything meaningful.
Not my cup of tea, but I can see the appeal especially with price being free.

Works on Reverb G2

Tested on: Quest 2, with a medium-low end gaming laptop (GTX 1650Ti, i5-10300h)
I'm only commenting within a short time because the dev deserves the good rep: in my opinion this is a very cool tool to explore when you're curious about making music and feeling the benefits of a VR interface to do so. It's absolutely worth it if you're frequently going to try and play with making sounds, but it's not there to gamify the experience beyond offering introductory tutorials. It's a musical tool, not a game, and with that in mind it does exactly what it says.

You can grab notes on the synth and twist the volume by turning your wrists, shake the notes you hold to modulate them, play very precisely with drums in 3d space, and have a different type of sound per hand.. and then you add the looping mechanisms and the fact that this is an early access title that already has the polish and great performance in PCVR (not encountered a single bug), and I'd say this is a title for those curious about making music and sounds and trying to think from new angles (a bit like OpenBrush is a lovely intuitive tool for visual creation I keep going back towards).

The tutorials are helpful too, although the more advanced tutorials are still a work in progress (as indicated by the EA status).
The visuals are great but I would be curious to see how customizable this might get (in colours, shapes, spatialization, tuning of synth and drum elements, blending of both perhaps, etc).

I hope the dev has more in store for us in terms of sounds and customization (of sounds and visuals, or even instruments), but as it is the game offers exactly what it advertises and it's pretty much a proper release already, and any person curious about making sounds and music with VR should try this out.

Symphony Of Motion is a free to play VR music synthesizer program. It worked on my Index system, looked ok, played ok, sounded ok. An innovative musical playground that turns your motion into music. Featuring a large selection of motion-reactive synthesizers, multi-pitched drum and melodic percussion pads, a built-in looper, and a drum kit builder that will keep you jamming for hours on end. It has short tutorial and instructions, with some help. The UI was usable.

Try this, if you are an musician or into making music.

such promise, dont let me down. do the best you can! :)

Really neat. I've played many different music apps in VR and this one is a great addition to my library. For the price its Amazing. Its better than some of the other apps.

Symphony Of Motion lets anyone with or without musical talent pump out rhythm and beats, with simple motions of your hands. You can jam in the VR world to your own music creations.

The game is packed full of options and features to produce music. Don't let this scare you off, if you have no idea how to make music. The game makes it simple and fun. Any casual user can make some sweet tunes.

From a large selection of synthesizers, drum kits, looping your beats and so much more. You will feel like a rock star, playing this very addictive game. There is no limits to your creations. With an easy to use menu system and the simple motion of your hands on the instruments, you will have a blast playing around and recording tunes.

Simple hand gestures will change the volume and sound of each instrument as you play, making you feel like a pro. Once you have a rhythm you like, you record and save it as a loop. You can combine all the loops you have made into an amazing beat to play back and save.

I have zero musical talent in me, and I could not stop playing. The time just melts away while you are immersed into this musical VR world. The reason why my video is so long. You just get addicted and can't stop. I may not sound to good, but man I had so much fun making beats.

If you enjoy making music, or wonder what it would be like to make music, this is a must experience VR game. The only thing I would change about the game, is adding the ability to have multiple instruments out at the same time. Get those hands warmed up, and get ready to pump out some beats.
