### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2025-02-04*

Ignore the negative comments as it still works great with OS18 and AU3 is working great in Cubasis.

### 1/5 — Save your money

*2024-11-02*

Save your money, this company doesn’t care about its products or services. They have not been updated in years and if you’re planning on using this in an app like Cubasis.3 It won’t work out for you at all. Don’t waste your time with any of these products.

### 2/5 — songモードで速いbpmにフォローできない

*2023-09-29*

BPM 200以上くらいから、songモードで再生パターンの順序が崩れる
再生音や操作感は良いが、惜しい

### 4/5 — it's simple and easy to use

*2023-02-13*

I didn't mean to bring it down. It's okay, simple and usable. Just the output volume is too low. Had to run it through audiobus to give it some volume boost.

### 5/5 — Surprisingly good and useful app!

*2020-07-28*

Now that they are all Auv3 these apps have become so much more useful. I own many of the best retro drum sample packs out there and I really love the choice of LM sounds used in this app. Still can’t get over how much I’m using this little machine, it truly has a very retro sound to it, the sequencer just makes the rhythms sound “right” to my ear. I’m grabbing the rest of the bundle that I don’t have tonight!

### 3/5 — Sounds don’t match labels, rows are reversed??

*2020-04-08*

I just bought and downloaded the app, was having fun playing around, but then noticed the sounds of the rows are reversed as to how they are labeled.

### 4/5 — 音が良い

*2020-02-17*

音は良いけど、パネルの文字とボタンを押して実際に鳴る音が、上段と下段とで逆になってますよね？

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2019-11-07*

Updating my review to reiterate how much I love this app. I gave it 5 stars before, and I’ll give it 5 stars again. It’s honestly my favorite drum machine app, and the one I go to more often than not. I think it does an excellent job capturing the Linn vibe. The mix control for each part alters the characteristic of the sound, and gives you a large palette of sounds to work with. My only real complaint is that I wish the Congas and Toms had separate pan controls for the high and low pads, so that you are able to pan the high and low Congas/Toms independently. Other than that, I couldn’t be happier with this app.

It’s nice to have a dedicated Linn app, versus messing with samples. I have the Classic Machines pack for Cubasis, and I think this app does a better job emulating the Linn Drum. If you’re a fan of the Linn Drum, this is definitely a must-have, especially if you want to be able to fine tune each of the sounds to your liking.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback and review 🙂

### 5/5 — Great drum app especially as an AUv3

*2019-02-14*

Love the set of drum apps from Elliott Garage. They have a nice retro sound and i really dig the interface. Now that all apps, including this one, are updated and can also be used as audio units it really makes them a great collection of apps to own.

Also very good support from thr developer.

Some of the older reviews are very harsh although people might have their reasons to be that way, but some of the mentioned issues seem to have been resolved with the recent update. Syncing works great with Link.

I think you should still give this app and the other ones from this developer a chance. You can’t go very wrong at this price point. There is something about these apps that makes me keep coming back to them. Thumbs up 👍👍

### 5/5 — Great!

*2019-01-14*

I don't know what the other reviewer was doing but I found it easy to use, great sounding (always loved the Linn sound!) and very intuitive. Great job. Thank you!
