Potentially the best app for latin rhythms.
I love this app for practice and to work through ideas. Its my practice buddy, my play-along backing track, and my study partner. I really hope you keep adding more rhythms and variations to the rhythms you already have. Please add rhythms from Colombia and other countries. Having Cumbia and other traditional rhythms like Bullerengue, Vallenato, Porro, and Currulao would be magical!Show lessHermanEC
Great app found but found a mistake
Hello the sheet music for the clave Tiñosa is incorrectenriqurp1324
Time doesn’t line up with metronome….
Time doesn’t line up with metronome…. It is like 2 clicks ahead of metronomes markings, it doesn’t line up with prerecorded midi stuff. This thing is off. Also instruments distort when speed up( moderately) , not good. I only used the plena rhythm , it looks ok when starts but need work with distorting instruments and quantize needs work too. Don’t purchase this.Show lesssalsablues

Hello, I’m sorry tho hear that this is the your take on Percussiontutor. First of all we are not using midi at all. When we launched the app 10 years ago we made the choice to only record live performances and make perfect audio loops. Only the metronome click is added. Would be great if you could - send us the list of rhythms that seem off (you only used plena out of > 100 examples? - 2 clicks ahead? No way because … there is NO click in Plena. So? Strange review … - did you use bluetooth or airplay Timestretching works fine when speeding up but I agree it doesn’t work well when slowing down. Would be nice also to contact us before giving a 2 star review for an app that is a reference for many years and hast constantly had excellent reviews. Finally no problem on our side refunding you. Best, PercussionTutor teamVery poor Brazil section.
Major Afro rhythms such as Maracatu and Samba Reggae are done really badly. Samba reggae with two surdos just marking the pulse and a drum kit? Maracatu with a drum kit and a whistle? It’s embarrassing.Roboll

It’s not please take a look at the musicians who recorded all the rhythms, only renowned players. Getting the feeling that some reviews are orchestrated by competitors. Little bit sad to read. Feel free to ask for a refund.A must have for anyone interested in rhythm
The ability to solo each instrument or several instruments in an ensemble and play along is priceless. The accompanying videos and sheet music is unbelievable given the low price of the Pro app. I’ve enjoyed it for years and decided I had to write review. This is one of those rare apps where the love of the music and the subject comes thru.Show lessbtxpress1
Awesome App
This is an awesome app. You can learn a lot of different patters with the right feel and dynamics.reymonroig.com
Lovely app, informative and very useful.
It has a wide variety of genres and cultural styles and I use it every day for practise. There are a couple of issues. When slowing down the tempo too much, you get some transient smearing which can blur some of the rhythm's attacks but kept near the original tempo its not too bad. The app now and again can crash when opening another app. When changing another audio app and back it can loose the audio of the current rhythm. By going back to list of rhythms and choosing the same rhythm restores the audio. Despite these small issues I really enjoy jamming along the rhythms.Show lessPereshaped

Excellent app. To learn or for pure joy!Itofeo
Excellent!
Great app, would be nice to have a limited free version to trial before purchase but worth the €.e123eeee
External audio interface crashes it.
As per title. If you use iOS built-in audio then no problem. If you want to use a USB interface then it crashes. Devs are aware and don’t care.
—— after 1st dev response—-
Not me with Logic .
I contacted you 26th Feb 2022, you replied saying reinstall.
I contacted you 27th Feb saying it’s the external interface causing crash.
You didn’t reply.
I’ve tested with 4 usb interfaces now.
All work fine with other apps:
RME Babyface: crash on select rhythm
RME Babyface Pro: crash on select rhythm
Focusrite 4i4 gen3: works fine!
Motu 828es: no crash but no audio
Please test and fix your bugs
Thanks.Show lessarghh_the_pirate

Hello, we NEVER EVER advertised the use with a (no name brand?) audio interface. There is no reason this wouldn’t work (airplay, bluetooth, everything standard iOS core audio is supported). I think you are probably the user who contacted use to know how to record directly into Logic with your iPhone? If that’s not you then you didn’t contact us … so please do before trashing an app with a 4.9 rating over the last 10 years.
