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.

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!

Hey thanks for the review, glad you like SDS-x! One thing I will note is that the MIDI input channels in the pad settings are saved in the kit. If you want to save MIDI input settings for the pads, you will need to save a kit with those settings. Hope this helps!

More kits, please

Excellent, fun and reliable drum app. Works very well as AU3 under AUM. Would love to be able to get more kits, preferably some including analog sounds, rock drums, reggae and other types.

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!

Thanks for the review! We've talked about bringing SDS-x to macOS but there are a lot of specific touch-based interactions that wouldn't translate super well to desktop. That being said, it's not out of the question!

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!

Thanks for the review! Glad you're enjoying the app!

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.

Thanks for leaving a review! Glad you're having fun with SDS-x.

Excellent, very intuitive.

Really enjoying this. Just a heads up, the get Pro and the yearly subscription price in the UK App Store are mixed up.

Glad you're liking SDS-x! Thanks for the heads up. This should be fixed in the latest version (2.0.5).

Great 9 pad AU Drum App

I definitely love SDS-x, it’s clean and clear. You can see everything you need to on one screen. It’s easy to import samples and create kits. The presets are pretty good too. It’s easy to use, sounds great, and fits great into any iOS music setup. 5 stars.
