The basic idea of the application is to make it easy to collaborate over the net with other users. In the beginning it will be sample based but hopefully with time it will expand to include some synthesis?
Here is the information from the developer:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- edit sounds, tracks, mixer channels, midi notes on the cloud
- share your tracks as sources to your friends to let them continue your creation
- work on your tracks in real-time with your friends or with random people around the world
- let other users interact with you musically
- keep track of edit history
- export your tracks to social networks and ogg or wav
