This program is really cool! Developers did a great job, everything works perfectly although there is a bit of a learning curve (could definitely use a tutorial). I found the actual sound effects used in the program to be very high quality! Every little tone sounded really good and I have a big hi-fi. I have zero music creation abilities at all, so it's kind of perfect for someone like me to start with something like this. I think this is something you could put a 3 year old in front of and get them to explain it to you, because it's a bit puzzling! The random button is really nice, I liked being able to spawn random beats onto things with no effort! It would be cool to see talented musicians use this and see what they do with it. Just wanted to leave a review because I'm the first one --- in conclusion, it functions great and it looks good too. Maybe I will give it a bit more use and see if I can come up with some song, I just tested it out for now.

About This Game
Taiko 5 is the first music sequencer designed to be used with a game controller. It's fast, fun, and easy to use. Select a kit, assign some sounds, randomize a few parameters and effects, and voila, you're on your way to making something unique.
Because Taiko 5 handles effects and sounds per Sector (instead of a "track") the music can range from ambient to industrial to almost everything in between. Changes can be triggered in real time as well.
Ever since I bought a Steam Deck I wanted to make music with it. But not with a keyboard and mouse like with a traditional modern DAW. Taiko 5 is the result of that. It works with Xbox controllers, PlayStation controllers, Steam Deck, and should work with other portable Windows based gaming systems as well. I hope you get hours of fun out of it as I had making it!

A huge thanks to George Rennie for contributing drum sounds!
