Overlooked gem

This is one of those apps where I’m surprised it doesn’t get mentioned more often. Definitely one of my favorite drum machine/sampler apps. The layout is great, the sounds are great, and actually everything is pretty great.

Best drum sequencer

Absolutely love this app. Simple but deep in features.

Incredible App for Creating

I am amazed at this apps ability to create music so quickly! The sequencer is very easy to use and if you want to play the pads it auto quantizes. So whether your an experienced beat maker or no nothing about music, you can be creating in seconds! The Ableton Link feature is 🔥. It’s the 2021 version of a drum circle where everyone can be linked and create a groove and music. This app is a must have if you’re a creative or just love music!

Thanks for the review. Glad you are having fun with SDS-x and Ableton Link!

Great Drum Machine!

You guys nailed it. Such a simple, intuitive workflow and most importantly for me, super high fun factor. Killer internal kits but I was quick to get my own hits and sounds imported into SDS without any issues. Man, good work on this. Loving creating with it a ton.
Maybe midi learn and an amplitude envelope is in store for future updates? Can’t think of much more to add to it. Awesome!

Thanks for the kind review! Great feature ideas, too. We'll definitely keep those in mind for future updates!

Bought this a few minutes ago…

I’m already super impressed. This is a FANTASTIC piece of design - really - it’s beautiful and useful in so many ways (especially - simplicity leads to victory) and as of right now the only thing I’m missing is a sampler included with auto slicing via transient detection. Well ok, ADSR would be nice too and ESPECIALLY 3D Touch support for phones that have it (instead of vertical “velocity” for the pads). As a last suggestion that is ultimately not as relevant since we can create kits, is, please add more acoustic kits. I actually really like a few kits here, but I’m just not an electronic guy so most of them will probably not see much use by me.

Regardless, this is a fantastic AU and I will be using it a lot from now on. Thank you! Will definitely keep an eye on this dev! 🥸

Easy to use!

This app is easy to use, full of color and so many choices for sounds!! It was easy to pick up and make my own jams.

Beautiful sounding

Loving this bad boy great samples btw was hoping you could add adsr control or am I not seeing this ? I like that you are offering different forms of payment to use the app ie monthly sub, yearly, and outright buy. I chose the later I don’t like renting personally. I like how you make use of the full size iPads with the larger screens one feature suggestion could be different midi/sound settings around the 4 corners of each pad when in this mode think hardware kieth McMillen quneo. Definitely like the drag and drop sample support as well. Glad to see you are the hardworking type of developers thanks.

Thanks for the kind words. There is no ADSR control at the moment, but we will keep it in mind for future updates! Pro tip: One way to get multiple sounds per pad is to load two samples into the pad and then change the sample mode to "velocity switch" (VSW). Then go to the global settings and make sure the velocity mode is set to "top." The bottom of the pad will now play one sample and the top of the pad will play the other.
