I don't see the appeal? It's pretty stty music, fine it has good novelty, but would I keep clicking it for 10 second riffs of mediocre songs? I do see a viral angle, and that is good because as an app dev, getting something viral is a home run hit. But I don't see it grabbing me to come back, hopefully there is going to be a lot more features to keep people coming back

I just lost an hour to this site, it's a lot of fun.

Could have potential to generate a one-in-a-million hit that becomes a tiktok sensation just from the pure volume of these mediocre songs where one just happens to be a diamond.

I can see people attaching songs to TikTok, not! TikTok would have their own version out before they allow Riff to easily attach outside music on their platform.

On a footnote, everyone of the songs seem to sound a bit derivative in a very “I’ve heard that somewhere before” vibe, you may get lyrics that vibes but it all seem “weak”. I’m just saying it as it is, not trying to be mean or putting the devs down, it’s just honest useful critique

When the drum machine was released, tons of musicians said it sounded rubbish and not like real drums. Time will tell whether this falls in that same category, but generally it’s easy to underestimate new stuff.

Mmm, this really isn't the same thing. With a drum machine you're still programming the riffs themselves and people's chief complaint was the sound itself, whereas I've listened to a number of samples from this and the quality is definitely there, but the lyrical melodies themselves are not particularly harmonically engaging or memorable. Like the voices are just all over the place on the scale.

That being said, this is definitely a "meme" kind of thing rather than a tool for actual orchestration.

I agree with the control thing, but I can also see that this can be solved. Not sure how but that’s the whole point of their funding round - figuring out how to make it fun in a lasting way.

The non-memorable bit… I’m certain people complained that all drum sounds from drum machines sound the same and are thus not memorable. So I’m cautious here personally, even though I see your point.
