Works on older devices, not iPad Pro M5

I’ve always liked the drone sounds DR-OM produces. I recently purchased a new iPad Pro M5 and transferred all of my apps over from my iPad Pro M1. Sadly, the display is broken. It still makes great sounds, but you can’t access the whole GUI on newer iPads (STILL WORKS GREAT on iPhone 16 Pro Max). =( Also… the developer website is gone.

Needs an update

Great app. However, these days I only get half the controls on my iPad screen. The rest are off to the side and inaccessible. I would be happy if this could be fixed.

Still the same. Lousy customer support. Abandonware?

An old favorite doesn’t work on my iPad any longer

I love DR*OM. It is no longer centered on my iPad’s screen, so it ..
Just doesn’t work now. Sad.

Once great …

… sadly unsupported now.

What are the key features of DR-OM?

The app features playable simulations of three different DR-OM units, each with its own distinct sound profile due to component variations. It includes two mixable Low Frequency Oscillators (LFOs) and a Voltage-Controlled Filter (VCF). The Speed dial is a notable feature, capable of introducing tuning drifts, random events, and gnarly effects.

What are some common use cases for DR-OM?

DR-OM is ideal for electronic music producers and sound designers looking for unique, experimental, and vintage-inspired sounds. It can be used for creating drones, ambient textures, sound effects, and for exploring the unpredictable nature of analog synthesis through its simulated component variations and finicky controls.
