Great drum machine app
I think this is often overlooked and underrated drum machine. I love the sounds out of the box and the ability to control them. Everything is at your finger tips. There is quality, versatility, control over the sound, compatibility (auv3) and stability.
Yup
This is one of the best drum machines I’ve ever Seen??? Yup this thing is awesome!!!
One Small Request in an otherwise fun app
Thanks for a very good and fun to use app. Is it possible to open an init kit without any patterns selected vs deleting the ones in the default kit? Keep up the great work!
Dishonest dev
I had the lifetime premium version of the app activated when it was as a part of a giveaway. And after the app update, I have it no more. The dev quitted the premium from me. What a shame.
Just Get It
More useful than it may appear at first (I was initially put off by the colorful pads, which makes it look like a toy), but I found it quite useful for the variety of drum kits it has and the available modification options. My big ask for the developer: Please bring this to macOS (desktop) for M1 Macs. My workflow involves developing rough ideas on iPad Pro, then finaling on desktop and there are no fast and easy replacements for this app. Being able to use this as an AU plugin would be a tremendous timesaver. Thanks!
Wasn’t sure at first. Glad I got it.
At first I thought “do I need another drum app?” Well, 10 minutes into it I realized this is the most fun drum app out there. The great presets and simple pattern programming make it easy to get into, and the deep customization options make it a product worth learning and tinkering with. Get it, it’s useful and fun!
Straightforward sample play - YES!
Follow-up - it’s still awesome! Use factory samples or import your own and play them back. That’s all I was looking for. Simple good sounding filter, delay and verb. I’m all in on this one! What’s it need? Not much IMHO! I’d like to see reverse sample play (unless I missed it) and AUv3 capability so I can host it without worrying about IAA going away.
- Fix an issue where the in-app store would display mixed-up prices in some regions. - Add additional visual feedback to the in-app purchase flow.
