Needs update

Best sounding 808 drum kit I’ve found so far. Been using it for years. However, when i have it loaded as AUv3 in bm3, it stops playing after I reopen bm3. Needs preset saving and a touch up on the features overall.

Almost great

I have a few issues with this emulation that I can flag for others. These are concerning my use on an iPhone XR. There doesn’t seem to be a way to switch the same channel instruments. I can’t access the clave, maracas, or congas. They are in there as I’ve seen the switches on the iPad version. Seems silly. The drums don’t have the same controls. Notably no open hat decay. The third hi hat sound, from programming the open and closed hat together, doesn’t exist. Shame as the rest of it seems implemented so well.

Wo bitte 12/8-Takt einstellen?

YouTube-Videos sind leider traurig. Entwickler-Webseite „forbidden“. 6 Euro sind dafür zu viel Geld!

Great design but problems

I have the 606, 808, 909, and Lm1 , really great apps, unfortunately the 808 does not connect properly with Cubasis 3 either directly via inter app audio or Audio Units, the app shows up in track creation but won’t record any sound. I tried with Audiobus also but an error message comes up, it may be as suggested by Audiobus that this app needs updated for iOS 14 and now 15.
Any ideas? Apart from that the app is really good and the others all work.
