What's New in BAM

1.7.5

October 30, 2026

- Added signing in with a code sent by email: the login page asks for your email address and sends a one-time code, with password login still one tap away, and signing up creates the account the same way. - Fixed a crash when importing a MIDI file in which the notes of a chord end in a different order from the one they started in.

User reviews

I like BAM. Really Nice Workflow

Please add more customisable playhead functions for the sequencer.
At the moment, the only options are ‘Forward’, ‘Back’ and ‘Forward & Back’.
There’s more potential here, for example:
Free movement of the playhead via touch,
scrubbing,
moving forwards and backwards by bar or beat,
random,
loop-in/loop-out
markers/cue points,
jump to next/previous event,
snap to grid,
stutter/beat repeat,
hot cues for live performance and
MIDI control of the playhead,
among other things.

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback! We're glad you see the potential in BAM. Improving the UI and expanding the built-in plugins are definitely on our radar. We appreciate your suggestions and will keep working to make BAM even better!

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.

Response from developer

Thanks so much for this, genuinely great to read. Glad BAM's workflow is clicking for you on iPad, that's exactly the experience we're aiming for. And really appreciate you calling out the pricing approach, keeping the full app unlocked and only charging for extra sample/preset packs was a deliberate choice, so it means a lot that it's landing the way we intended 🙏

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?

Response from developer

Thanks so much for reaching out, and sorry about the hangs, that's definitely not the experience we want you to have, especially right after buying two packs. We've logged this and the team is looking into it, particularly the Ladera Nights default scene and the Velvet Vibes hang on playback. Could you let us know your device model and iOS version? That'll help us pinpoint what's going on faster.

Good

Seems to be more stable now.

Response from developer

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