What's New in BAM

1.7.2

August 31, 2026

- Added custom graphical panel design for the Compressor, Delay and Phaser effect engines. - Added a Layout setting to force the phone or tablet layout instead of relying on screen size detection. - Added copy, paste, import and export of MIDI mappings, so a mapping setup can be reused across projects. - Added Matrix clip width and height settings in Preferences. - Added a Matrix master column width setting in Preferences. - Added Root, High and Low controls to the generate popup in the Composer, to control the octave range used by the melody and chord generator. - Reworked the Composer scroll and zoom bars. - Added an Only While Recording metronome setting. - MIDI mappings for play, stop, record, undo, redo, clear locks, shift and the panel selector buttons are now global. - Fixed new projects ignoring the default clip length preference. - Fixed crash when adding a MIDI Out engine with automatic parameter automation enabled. - Fixed the Compressor, Bitcrusher and Filter UI panels on iPhone. - Fixed the timeline toolbar reading and writing the signature, swing and speed of the previously selected clip after selecting a different scene. - Fixed the previous project's clip and its audio loop staying loaded after opening another project. - Fixed the Start, End and Loop Start markers display in the Sampler engine. - Fixed a crash when using a mono audio file as a clip loop. - Fixed a crash when opening a project in which a track's selected clip slot was empty. - Fixed the Composer page bar showing the timeline's page count instead of the pages of the selected clip. - Fixed pressing record while the song was playing triggering the recording count down, which paused playback until the count down finished. - Fixed tapping the transport buttons on iPhone bringing up the iOS home bar instead. - Fixed samples and audio clips playing pitch shifted and with the wrong length after the audio sample rate changed.

Slow developed „DAW“ Beatbox

The BAM started with some nice
Functions and a concept that was a little bit like Korg Gadget with AU3.

Many nice and easy to handle things.
But i hoped that they optimized some things like note grid editing and import/export
Of audio and midi. I will this year test the Apple Pencil with it on my „new iPad 10“.

Better audiotrack functionality and
Audio sfx per au3 and improvments in the gui.

But now its seems they optimize some little steps.

The hope is a alternativ gadget host.

And i test it on macos Tahoe and new iOS.
Thanks 4 your interest in reading.
My wish is that you dont stopp to
Optimize the GUI.

Response from developer

We are working in BAM. We have been very busy in the last year but a round of regular updates is coming. Next version should come just right next week.

My go to groove box

This thing really has everything you need to make full songs. I find the workflow to be the best on iPad for me to make tracks. It’s just a joy to work with and it runs really well. The expansion packs I have tried have been really good, but you don’t need them to access all the parts of this, which most other devs don’t do. Usually you gotta keep buying in app to access everything, but here you only spend more if you want samples and presets. The main app gives you access to everything for one purchase price.

Frequent hanging of the app

Purchased it yesterday, it was working for a while but later it started hanging frequently. Also I picked 2 extension packs Velvet vibes and Ladera Nights. LN90s appears does not have a default scene to play. Velvet vibes starts to hang as soon as it is played. Can you please help fix this?

Good

Seems to be more stable now.

Response from developer

Thanks for your updated feedback. Please keep us posted! Best regards

Wie Ableton fürs iPad

Lange habe ich nach einer App mit Scene Launcher gesucht, die Audio-Midi Clips kann, LFOs hat und Auv3 einbinden kann. MIDI Roll und Automation sind super komfortabel und gerade für Live Sets gut. Eigentlich gute UI könnte noch einen Ticken etwas auf Touch zugeschnitten sein, aber das ist Jammern auf hohem Niveau. Bitte immer weiter updaten und weiterentwickeln. Jetzt schon meine Lieblings Groovebox DAW auf dem iPad.
