Love these patterns and sounds

Wish this app could be updated with some of the features in your more current drummer apps like Soft Drummer

Response from developer

Hi Neubop, Thank you so much for the kind words about Brazilian Drum Machine, we're glad you're enjoying the samba and bossa nova patterns and sounds! We really appreciate you highlighting the newer features from apps like Soft Drummer. We're always working on bringing the suite closer together, and your feedback helps us prioritize what to bring to Brazilian Drum Machine in future updates. Thank you for your review.

Really Good with Caveats

I have several of the Lumbeat rhythm apps and they are fantastic, no contest. I use them daily for practise, production etc. There a couple of "buts", though. A couple of the apps drain the life out of the battery compared to other apps. It would also be nice to see consitency in exporting rhythms from one app to another. Soft Drummer to Jazz Drummer great! Brazilian Drummer to any other app, nope, but you can with Indian Drummer to Soft Drummer?...

Hi Pereshaped, Thank you so much for your kind words and for being such a dedicated daily user across the Lumbeat suite, that truly means a lot to us! Regarding your two points: Battery drain. You're right that some apps are heavier than others. The apps with the most realistic drum kits use a large number of round-robin samples processed individually in real time across multiple simultaneous tracks, kick, snare, hats, toms, cymbals and more. That richness is what gives them their natural, human feel, but it does come at a CPU cost. It's a tradeoff we've consciously made in favor of audio quality, and we're always looking for ways to optimize further. Cross-app rhythm export. Thanks for flagging this, the inconsistency you describe is real. Some app pairs share a compatible groove format and others don't yet, as a consequence of how the suite grew over time. Broader cross-app compatibility is on our roadmap as we gradually unify the architecture across all Lumbeat apps. This kind of detailed, honest feedback is exactly what helps us improve and prioritize. We really appreciate you taking the time! Thank you for your review.

No MIDI export

Nice app, sadly abandoned!

Upgrade auv3

They have a new app, but they abandoned the old ones. It's been over 5 years without a single update. I want my old (high-value) purchases to receive the AUV3 update. It's the least they can do for their existing customers. Before launching something new, think about who has already purchased your product.

Response from developer

Thanks for your message, João. We understand your concern, AUv3 is something many users have asked for, and we know how important it is for existing customers. Updates for older apps are not abandoned, but they require deep rewrites to support new standards. We’re working step by step to bring improvements across the catalog, and your feedback helps us keep that a priority.

Buena App

Esta muy lograda y sirve para sacar ideas. Quizás le falten otras opciones como la exportación por pistas o un control del swing más avanzado como en otras apps

Good SOUND

Buena app

Great app just needs a little more work imo

The midi and sync not too straight forward.. also once in a while I get no audio even after restart of ipad - only solution is uninstall and reinstall.. bit of pain but simple.. other than that it’s awesome

Response from developer

Thanks for your feedback! We’re glad you find the app awesome, but we’re sorry to hear about the MIDI/sync confusion and occasional audio issues. That sounds frustrating. We’re working to improve these areas and appreciate your patience and support☺️

Incredible potential, but missing a few features

I love this app, it sounds great and has a lot of great editing features- but it’s missing some things that for instance MidEast Drummer has- the ability to export MIDI and Audio (full mix or multitrack) so you could for instance, airdrop it to your favorite DAW, a bit more control over meters when you’re building a custom beat, and frankly some kind of manual / tutorial out there to understand how to use the MIDI functionality, Ableton Link, or at least how to connect it via Audiobus / AUM so that you can export MIDI and/or audio to an external source. Just adding the export thing like it is already available in other lumbeat apps, would solve so much of this- this should be standard on all LumBeat apps! Thank you Luis Martinez for creating these incredible apps!!!

Response from developer

Thank you so much for your thoughtful feedback and for enjoying the app! We’re glad you appreciate the sound and editing features, and we hear you on the MIDI and audio export options. Adding these features, like in MidEast Drummer, is definitely something we’re considering for future updates to give more flexibility. We also understand the need for more control over meters and better documentation for using MIDI, Ableton Link, and Audiobus/AUM integration. We’re working on improving these aspects, and your suggestions are incredibly helpful. Thanks again for your support and for being part of the LumBeat community! 🥁

Midi

Tutte le app che ho acquistato non trasmettono e ricevono messaggi e note midi.
Es creo un patter ritmico o un song,voglio poi inviarla a cubase o Logic, app riconosce la porta midi collegata al pc ma non invia e riceve note midi

Come si risolve ho chiesto più volte info in merito tramite email,niente mai una risposta….

Bogus

Guess you still can’t export any sounds or use as auv. No exporting of sounds just jag off and play around. 17.99 wasted my money

Please update !

Great stuff this is the one that made me fall in love with lumbeat

つかえました

まあまあでした。

So close

I love Brazilian music & this app is a great companion to play along with while I’m learning certain rhythms or if I’m just practicing. Definitely more inspiring than a metronome! I just don’t understand why i can’t find any instructions whatsoever…not on their website, not within the app itself. I’d love to use it on solo gigs but I don’t understand the interface for storing stuff. If they gave a little manual or some tutorials on how to get the most out of the app, I’d give 5 stars for sure!

What a great App!

I’ve been using previous versions of Brazilian Drum Machine for years . It keeps getting better and better, so easy to use but powerful and creative. The instrument combinations seem limitless. I highly recommend it!

Great app

Fabulous rhythms and sounds. Can we please have the ability to directly export MIDI and audio, as with Funk Drummer?

Good Brazilian Drums BUT no way to EXPORT MIDI or AUDIO like Funk Drummer

The Drums are good BUT It's too complex to use the drummer with another program to insert a Drum track, it is necessary to use app like "Audiobus 3" or similar. It is not funny

Please add EXPORT AUDIO & MIDI FEATURES like you've made in Funk Drummer.

4 stars when you'll add export.

geht so

schei-e wäre geprahlt

Disappointed

I love Brazilian rhythm but found the patterns too busy. Also saving and exporting loops is a mystery.

Smiling

I’ve only had this app for 5 minutes and already I’m smiling and jamming. Can’t wait to get with my guitar and practice with it. Thank you this is the app I’ve been dreaming about!

Quase

O app até tem potencial, mas os ritmos padrões estão muito mecânicos e barulhentos. Talvez se o usuário criar os ritmos do zero, possa ficar melhor. Reggae Drummer está bem acima deste.
