Best Create your own synth/effect toolbox
If I had to pick one synth to have on a desert island it would be Drambo no contest. I recreated just about every synth patch from other stuff with Drambo and the ability to fiddle with any connection however you want leads to so much creative possibilities. I was initially intimidated but once you get over the first hour it’s hard to really go back to anything else with this level of power, quality and flexibility. D

Great but new features are charged for.
Great software but really not on board with the developer adding new features like granular engine and other dsp features and charging extra for it when they should be part of an upgrade cycle… does Ableton do this? No… not on board with these tactics and making me not want to use the app no more… instead of updates with added new features… we keep getting in app purchases all the time! Not cool!

Response from developer
Thanks for the review. I understand the concern, but Drambo has been in continuous development for about 5 years, and a large number of new modules, features and improvements have been added for free during that time. There are only a few DSP IAPs, they cost $4.99 each, and each one includes multiple modules/features. The main app is still $24.99, which I’ve tried to keep very affordable for what Drambo offers. The occasional IAPs are not meant to replace free updates. They help make continued development sustainable. After 5 years, without some additional revenue, I simply couldn’t keep developing and supporting Drambo indefinitely. I know this model won’t suit everyone, but I think it’s a fair way to keep Drambo growing without turning every new feature into a purchase.
Drambo rules
It’s the best, as indispensable as AUM
Impressive
Amazing powerful modular groovebox… it seems unlimited in possibilities, A mix of Ableton, nord modular, and Digitakt and even much beyond thanks to AUv3 support.Though mastering it certainly comes at a certain cost in time invested.. would maybe wish some better sound & preset browser (categorization, flagging, instru preview) and color theme customization though. Long life to this incredible app !

Unglaublich gut
Wer einen Synth sucht, der alles kann, kaufe sich Drambo und ein ios device.
Wer eine einzige App für elektronische Musik kaufen will, greife zu Drambo.
Die innovativste, umfangreichste, mächtigste und flexibelste ios Musikapp.
Dass nun auch noch live visuals dazukamen, lässt viele Desktop Marktführer mit Abstand zurück.
Großartig.
Bravo und vielen Dank!!!

My bad
My last review was caused by my ignorance. This is a fine app and developer.
控えめに言って最高！！！
何故いままでこのアプリを知らなかったのかと悔やまれるほどにいい！
概要はモジュラーシンセとdawシーケンサーを合わせた感じ。
abletonライクなインターフェースで凡そ触っているだけで理解できる。
音源、シーケンサー、どちらをとっても扱い易く、それでいて安直な物ではなく高機能、凡その事を満たしている。しかし基本的にはdawではなくモジュラーとシーケンサーなので、オーディオはサンプラーでの扱い。
アプリで言えばmi rackのような見た目にまんまモジュラーのような物は、モジュラー弱者として難解。sanvoxは音源は最高だがシーケンサーがトラッカーの為扱い辛いら。
zenbeatsはdawっぽい事殆どできてしかも安いけど、なにか物足りない。
gadgetはコンセプト強めで、自由度が無く窮屈さを覚える。
そんな時にdramboに出会って最高か！っていう。
個人的にシーケンサー部で気に入っているのは、ステップシーケンサーの時に、ボタンの数をトリプレットにできる事。fl studioなんかではトリプレットはピアノロールで打ち込むしかなかったが、こちらではステップシーケンサーとピアノロールでグリッドがリンクしてくれる。
発売されて数年経つのに、何故日本語の情報がこんなにも無いのか不思議なくらい。
もっと日本でも知られるべきアプリ！
まだ少ししか触っていなけどアプリのデザインとして気になる事は今の所ない。
強いて言えば挙動が不安定、ファイル管理が不自由、あとはフォーラムでも話題になっているUndoが殆ど役に立たないとか。しかし、そんな事は度返しにして、最高なアプリだと思う！

This is the coolest music app ever
I’ve used A LOT of music apps, easily a hundred or more, and worked with developers on several of my favorites like Audulus 3 & 4 and Elastic Drum,
this is hands down the most powerful and fastest music creation app I’ve used, it’s like a modular synth meets ableton,
I keep finding more reasons to love it every time I use it, I just discovered the crossfader modulator, everything has been somehow intuitive enough that I figured it all out on my own, and idk… I’m just blown away by how much it can do.
If I had one suggestion - make the loop sample / slicer default to having time stretch on, and add transient slicing for the offset so that a drum break or melodic loop can be quickly re-sequenced into new sequences, reference the ableton simpler slice mode
Amazing work from my favorite developer 🫶🏼

all the wave form tunables are hidden behind IAPs and this isn’t made clear before purchase,
Incredible App!
Drambo has revolutionised my music creation. It can do so much. I use it as a super advanced MIDI processor for my studio. It’s unique and wonderful, words can’t really explain how good it is.
There’s a learning curve. It’s absolutely worth doing, you get so much out of it.
The Dev is also a friendly and helpful guy!

I’ve Crossed The Event Horizon!
I’ve crossed the Event Horizon and now I can’t escape Drambo’s immense power!
There a bit of a learning curve here, and some areas of the documentation are definitely a bit lacking, but my god is this a crazy powerful tool for music creation and sound design!

Most Versatile Mobile DAW
This is the best mobile groovebox I've ever used, so much so I consider it a DAW. An absolute blast to play.
A Must Have
If you’re making music on the iPad, then this is a must have, along with Loopy Pro. An audio/midi Swiss army knife that covers sequencing, synthesis, sampling, effects - you name it, you can do it with a bit of playing around. Just brilliant!
No audio Tracks
A great Groovebox but without audio tracks its not for me which is a shame as the workflow is great
This app literally changed my life
And by that I mean my live set which is basically my life, and having a DAW that imho is better than Ableton for what I need (it’s like an octatrack if it were built by god herself) on my PHONE has done wonders to my creativity, every commute has become a jam for the past couple years now and the updates just keep on coming. I also evangelise this app at my monthly producer meet-ups. Big up the dev giku

It just keeps getting better
MI Plaits, voice synthesizer, improved help system… so many great additions! Best groovebox on iOS, period.
Stellar. Drambo does all the things, and does them well.
I’ve had Drambo for a few months, and it just keeps impressing and surprising me. There is a bit of a learning curve, but there is also plenty of help via the dev’s site and included tutorials (not to mention the new Help system with the last update.) That said, once you get over the hump Drambo is fast and intuitive. This is one of those humbling apps that makes you think twice before buying that new shiny hardware or app… “can I build it Drambo?” The answer is most likely “yes.” The in-app purchases are worth every penny. The UI makes excellent use of screen real estate, and helps keep you focused on the task at hand. I can’t stress how important that part is, and how other iOS apps drop the ball in that realm. The modules sound great. Is this the best, smoothest, angriest Sallen-Key filter I’ve heard in the digital domain? Probably. I’m a “hardware” guy and it takes a lot for me to get excited about iPad music apps. Drambo, Koala Sampler, and a knobby MIDI controller will keep m happy for the foreseeable future.

Wow!
I should have bought this app years ago. I have finally found something to replace ModStep. The developer has done a brilliant job. The workflow is perfect. Took a little time to understand the layouts etc but all sorted now. If you use midi and eurorack and you’re looking for a ‘heart’, look no further than Drambo!

Lernkurve ist steil, aber es lohnt sich!
Wollte schon immer modular unterwegs sein, aber die Kabel haben mich immer abgeschreckt. Hier nun alles schön clean und man kann sich wahnsinns Instrumente selbst basteln. Der eingebaute Sequencer ist genial und das Launch Grid ähnlich MPC oder Ableton tut, was es soll. Und das sogar sehr gut. Definitiv meine neue iOS #1 DAW.
