A project that has now been a few years in the making, Endlesss, a collaborative app from Tim Exile, is nearly ready for release and you can still get involved with the beta-testing phase.
Designed as a spontaneous music-making tool, Endlesss has been designed to people connect and jam out ideas remotely.
The app is built around the ethos that users create Rifffs. These files are essentially short snippets of music with multiple layers that can be created using built-in or external instruments. You’re then able to add or remix layers and share the Rifffs among friends.
Most of the features are in, but there are still some things that are on the wishlist. Check out the full details below and be sure to check out the Endlesss website to obtain access to the beta.
