Has anyone else tried this ? I just bought a copy yesterday as the site has a 50% off deal for the next few days or so. It uses a matrix to launch clips (Ableton, Waveform, Bitwig etc), can host and act as a VST and comes with a synth, sampler etc.
I'd already tried the demo and thought it was very promising and its interface is very smart.
Apparently upgrades are free for life (as per FL Studio). The current beta v1.1 (testers only) has the excellent RubberBand timestretch but this is not available in the official version yet.

I tried it and love it. I use it mostly on my iPad, but on occasion I play with the desktop version.

The iPad version can host plugins, but the desktop can't yet. I believe it is planned though, but I don't have an idea when it'll come to be

It can host AuV3 plugins not AuV2 or vst plugins which is great on the iPad,not so great on the computer unless it’s Apple silicon. Even then I can only download a handful of the AuV3 plugins I own on the Mac.It does have an AuV2 and Vst and VSt3 plugin version but it doesn’t work in Fl Studio and crashes it,I’ll have to try it in Logic and Bitwig later. Definitely seems good for iPad use not so much on Mac. Too expensive for limited functionality on Mac

Sorry to have misled about VST hosting, I was aware of AUv3 and knew VST was coming.
Thinking about BAM posed a question in my mind namely, when is a beta not a beta ?
When developers release software that lacks generally accepted functionality, surely that constitutes a beta version .. or does it ? Developers are always adding stuff, so is all software in a perpetual state of beta-ness ?
I don't really knows the definitive definition of 'beta software', maybe there isn't one ?

It wasn't valid for that day only, and it isn't that great a price (Should be its normal price) it is a very saturated market and at $149 if it gets any sales at all I would be surprised, that is a hefty price tag vs features.
Duh

After years of only using a desktop computer for recording and editing, I finally decided to put together a versatile, mobile rig with a laptop and an iPad. Now I’m discovering the fascinating world of mobile apps and plug-ins, and BAM seems to be loaded with creative features.
So I picked this up during the last sale after it was suggested by my friend who also uses it on his iPad. With the list of features all wrapped up in a groove box-style application or plug-in, I couldn’t pass up the reduced $29 price tag. I’m hoping that it will be especially useful for my Ambient projects.
For those of you who have experience using it, what are the major differences between the desktop version versus the iOS app? And are there any stability issues that I should be aware of? Thanks in advance.
