So fun
This approach to a drum machine is so natural and fun. Great job developers
United Statesdope app
awesome app wish the probability would expand to other parameters maybe also if the notes could go to 32 otherwise i love this app no complaints
United StatesREQUEST
32 step support would make this an everyday tool. Please add 32+ step support for those who like going crazy to make it more organization more accessible, I’d separate even fractions of steps by “page” maybe for the iphone version. For ipad, im pretty sure 32 steps can be easily visable
United StatesBest iOS drum machine I’ve found so far. Super quick intuitive improvisational flow
Immediately intuitive fun and deep quick performance
United StatesDisappointing
I paid for this app because there was no demo. The features seem impressive at first glance but due to the fact that there is a 16 step limit to patterns you can’t build loops up. Really a design flaw. If you want to put 8th notes or 16th notes in a pattern then you will be limited only 16 steps of 8th notes or whatever increment you chose. This is problematic and you can only begin to understand how limiting it is once you begin to build patterns. For example: If you set your kick pattern to 8th notes and your hihat pattern to 16th notes, your hihat pattern will play through twice before a single bar has passed. So you can really only design 2 beats of your bar and it will just repeat itself to finish out the bar.
United StatesSo far so good
Are there any acoustic regular sounding drum kits ( not electronic) all the one I have tried are all hip hop digital sounding kits.Just looking for a standard rock drum kit sound
United StatesBit of a learning curve…worth it
This was one of those apps that initially I downloaded on a whim, played with for a bit, scratched my head, and moved on. Seemed like a neat idea, but I had no clue how to use it. After a few months I revisited it, took a little time to learn it, and became quite impressed. The ability to tweak the f out of time signatures per track is amazing on its own. Velocity editing and ratcheting is great. This app is extremely flexible in how beats can be programmed. I do wish there was the ability to build your own kit, and saving/exporting is not that intuitive, but the rest of the app still merits 5 stars.
