  • Really love this just hope you make it auv3 and work with midi

    By hyperfocusmusic
    It has amazing sounds so not being auv I got it to think of it like hardware, but no midi sequencer has worked that I tried that has midi mapping for dm1. Even though it works for all the other midi mapping. Please update the app so it works with midi . Also If you made this auv it would truly become the most popular drum machine on iOS for many many people. Will update to. 5 stars once midi is fixed
  • Why did you change it?

    I use this app for teaching… Guitar and bass. It used to default to the last pattern I wrote, which was useful… now it always goes to this “song,” and I have to go through a few more steps and rewrite my pattern. By default distortion is turned on… I don’t know if it just doesn’t make sense.
  • What a waste of time and money

    The acoustic sounds are totally useless. Only 9 sounds at a time? And no even two samples per sound. This is literally a toy and it's advertised as a professional tool. MIDI control doesn't work every time you open the app. You have to go to Song>MIDI and then it works, every single time. Labels on the pads are nonsense and useless.
  • Bpm issues

    Tap tempo is hard to use. But more importantly, I’m not sure the bpm metronome is accurate. I’ve tried to beat match it to other apps and I can’t get it to line up at all. Love the app tho, but That’s a big issue for me. Good luck. I’ll still keep using if I can find a work around. Thanks
  • Improper time signature

    Currently using iPad 5th Gen latest software. I've used this app for a few years, and it's always been fairly reliable. However recently, I try to setup a 5/4, or 3/4 time signature. And it continually sets up in 4/4. Which makes mapping out the beat quickly, a rather pain and headache.
  • What, a drum machine with no accidental deletes? Pfft

    By Codowlsky Polopumus
    First time I can ever recall trying a new drum machine/beatbox and not walking away from the first session frustrated after spending a bunch of time, only to somehow accidentally deleting a part or a whole track (or dubbing over, etc) This is my favorite drum app on iOS by far. I’m a tad surprised I hadn’t found it before but I’m happy I found it now! Makes me feel like a fizzy soda
  • So Much Potential, NO Consistency

    By Lowrenthighrise
    This app could be amazing and is when it works. I get 2 different sounds when playing through the iPad speakers but then when I plug in a, eighth inch jack to lay down a simple beat in a demo, it completely changes, half the sounds disappear, and the other half perform for a fraction of a second or become nearly muted. It worked really well for a week but now it won’t work while plugged in. If you wanna just tap out some beats and play around, great, but trying to record anything with this is a complete waste of time.

    ....but I love playing with this app. I’ve used it for my own amusement. I’ve made sound effects and soundtracks for my own personal videos. I have more fun with this app than any game I’ve ever played.
  • Just needs one thing...

    By rjbullock
    This app is outstanding! Great sounds, easy to edit... Only problem is it needs export to the new iOS file system! Then you could have your beats synced to your computer and import them into a DAW. Dropbox is okay but it’s less integrated than iDrive and I don’t want another file syncing app on my PC.
  • I like it

    I like this app. It’s got one flaw I’ve found. When creating new kits your audio share button Dose nothing at all. It will not Import a sample. iPad Pro 12.9 is what I use. Please fix
