All the aggro of a 90”s sampler, none of the charm.
This really is a frustrating app, I’ve grown to hate it more every time I try to use it.
No auto-saving of patterns? Programme changes to select patterns in the 21st century?
What’s frustrating is that this would be a very capable plugin with a great feature set if it wasn’t so cumbersome in use. Nearly every function is hindered by very unintuitive and just plain awkward interface.
At first I thought I would eventually get to learn its quirks and grow to love it. I didn’t.

Essential features missing
Overall very solid app, but there are essential functions missing. Or at least I have to been able to find it. Would it be possible to have the option to de activate the grid to record without quantization? Also a way to stop the midi triggering function when receiving midi from another device. Thank you.

Does not work
Sample function does not work holding pad does nothing I want a refund
Что-то, как будто-то бы
Каловые массы
Great concept
I want to like this… but almost immediately I started finding bugs while using iPhone. I tried to contact the developer to let them know… but there is no way to do it. I even went to their Facebook page to send a message and messenger notified me that it couldn’t send the message…
I want to use this in a professional context but I can’t load my own sounds without it crashing.

No MIDI
Well, it's official I found the best drum sequencer I've ever used. There are a few things wrong with it, but it's been fixed with this update. I just reached out to the developer, and there it was, the fix. I just wish every other app had support like this, five stars!
Beatmaker3 Lite!
Supplements the drums in Cubasis for me. I can drag multiple samples from Files into this app! I got this following Segments which is also a wonderful app from this developer.
One of the best Drum Machines, specially for smaller screens
This is a great drum machine and -sequencer. Sounds great and the app has a very clear user interface that makes it ideal as a plugin.
Nice kits, shame about the hi hats
I had such high hopes for this, but whenever I use it in auv3 the hi-hats NEVER record.
Just kick and snare.
So this will be gathering dust, and I may as well have thrown my cash up the road.

Response from developer
Hi, did you set the right MIDI mapping? Please write me at info@elliottgarage.com and I'll give you more support about it! Thanks, Andrea
Update: Better every time I use it. ‘PianoForte’ drum pads!
The pads do a pianoforte trick - soft to forceful, depending on how high on the individual drum pad you tap/strike it. This is a revelation, I don’t know why I didn’t notice it. It’s kind of obvious as a technique, and is genius for that reason. As someone much better at music than myself told me, louder and softer is the most basic and fundamental variation you can introduce to a performance. So a more recent usage of EG Pulse, shows lovely touches I thought best to mention: the pads. You can enlarge these so there’s fewer of them, but in either size, you can use ‘settings’ to make the gain/volume of each drum hit vary the higher up the particular drum pad you strike it (it’s called ‘vary volume by y-axis’ or similar, in ‘settings’). In ‘settings’ you can also set the view to be some other type of fascia, but I tend to leave it on ‘MPC’, I presume it is fashioned after the iconic sampler box. Samples: I bought the lot I think. There’s EG 808, and a lot of ‘EG’ versions of similar drumbox type units. I think I will be using this a bit more now, it just takes me a while to get oriented with an app and to get into it. But you can use your own samples.
TIP: You’ll set ‘host sync’ inside GarageBand using EG Pulse as an AUv3, and it’s BPM will not budge…just hit the GB ‘play’ arrow briefly and off again, and the EG Pulse bpm will latch on reflecting the host rate.
Older stuff I said: So I tried the other 3 or 4 drum apps on my ipad pro 2 and either IAA or AUv3 made no odds, it was sometimes they would work, others not. I am not a power user of drums, I want to input a decent drum track and it needs to sync to the host eg Cubasis 3 at the moment. EG Pulse does, the AUv3 operates solidly and reliably. I have other drum apps that have lovely percussion from exotic faraway places etc, but they don’t work inside of eg Cubasis 3. The early days of iOS are gone, when people marvelled that an app sounded like the real thing - now we may well use iOS as the major DAW platform - I do - and as always in tech, interconnectivity becomes a prerequisite as the market matures. EG Pulse therefore, has been created to be what is needed now, not like the older drum apps I see lauded, which are little stranded islands. If you want to incorporate drums into a song, you at least need to connect with a recording app, if not be fully AU compatible. Cannot comment on super-detailed aspects, but it works with the DAW I need it to sync to at the moment, and the drums sound clear and it has built-in patterns, which is my preference. There’s a little row of the Cubasis icons for flipping into Cubasis, as well as the ‘go’ arrow and a ‘record’ dot. These basic transport controls, you need accessible, and so my use case may be simple, but this drums app delivers.

Good drum machine
A Save button and a undo/redo button would be great!
Edit slice location
Can we have more control over editing our slices . Having control over the starting and end time rather than using our fingers. I’m using cell phone version. I have know idea how it works on the tablet version.
Good but limited to 1 bar patterns
This app would be a home run if it allowed for at least 2 bar and preferably 4 bar patterns. There are workarounds, like song mode, but that is a bit clunky. For all the effort and polish that went into this app the lack of multiple bar patterns is somewhat mystifying especially considering how elegantly this works on Koala sampler for years now.

Top !
Tres pratique. J’aime beaucoup son ergonomie
Not worth the penny
not worth the penny
Nice quality drum machine; thoughtfuly designed
Needs some upgrades please:
1. Ability to import multiple kits at once.
2. Ability to organize kits into folders. Currently, there is just one long list of kits, which is difficult to navigate when there are many user kits.

Triplets
There is no way to record triplets, why?
Still no complete audio export
So the most recent update included improved colour management for pads, but I STILL can’t export an entire groove as one .wav file. Only the individual stems. The other functionality is really food, so its a shame that full export looks like its too much trouble to add.
If you want to lake good musIc, you *need* EG Pulse
EG Pulse is the best drum machine app on the App Store.
I bought it after watching some comparison videos and it's just awesome.
As well as built in sounds, you can drag/import your own and mix and apply each sound within EG Pulse as an AuV3 instrument, separate from the DAW e.g. GarageBand.
This is so useful because you can have one DAW track for many custom sounds+samples without wasting other tracks.
You can even record other GarageBand instruments and AUv3s into it within GarageBand.
You can edit, normalise, mix, change pitch, change speed and apply FX to each sound individually.
The developer was even kind enough to fix a bug I contacted him about and I'm very happy with this version which works perfectly.
This app is essential for making music of any genre.
