Clunky IAA is a workflow killer

The lack of AUv3 integration makes using this app in a host, such as AUM, a really clunky affair - jumping between screens is a real workflow killer. Their other apps enjoy regular (and great!) updates, hopefully this will get some love too then it really will be a 5 star app.

Masterpiece

Elastic stuff rules.

A drum machine is only as good as its sequencer

…heard it somewhere and fully agree with the statement. And the sequencer here is too basic - pretty much killing anything good in this app. Only giving it 2 stars for the effort. Almost like the dev never had a good drum mashing in his hands… a real disappointment considering the reviews.

The ui is broken for mini iPad

Not all ui elements show for iPad mini

Please update

Externe MIDI Clock

Als Standalone Drumcomputer funktioniert die App gut und macht echt Spaß. Eigentlich gibt es auch genügend Möglichkeiten, sie über MIDI anzusteuern. Nur leider wird die externe MIDI Clock bei mir sporadisch immer wieder mit doppelter Geschwindigkeit von der App erkannt. Dies tritt bei allen getesteten MIDI Adaptern und Synthesizern auf. Man muss die MIDI Clock auf dem externen Gerät dann ausschalten und wieder aktivieren, damit sie neu in der App synchronisiert wird. Gibt es eine Lösung dafür?

Bonne boîte à rythmes

Presque parfait mais quelques bugs
L’application plante lorsque l’on veut sauver un preset … j’espère que cela sera corrigé dans les prochaines maj
Merci d’avance

Nice app but need some update

-midi learning on effects should be added
-It's frustrating that the instrument mute only affect the playing pattern. how can i mute my kick when i'm in song mode for example. it's bad for live performance.
- a real velocity should be added because when affecting velocity to volume, its not possible to adjust volume anymore. the velocity should be leveling up or down on top of an adjustable volume instead of "being the volume itself". Its actually the same for all settings but i find it specially frustrating on the volume.

Thank you and have a nice day :)
Romain - a friendly user who wanna get the best from your app

Will get fixed with the next update

Please make this auv3

Very good, very flexible. Bought it but didn’t realise it wasn’t auv3. Keeping it anyway (even though I use Drambo).
Please make this auv3

Goes WAY Beyond Just a Drum Machine!

...it is a 6-channel, multi-timbral sequencer/synthesizer employing several different synthesis methods: samples, FM, granular, et. and each method provides deep control over several sonic parameters including panning and FX levels and all of them can be automated in real time! And speaking of effects, it comes with a plethora of effects ranging from reverbs to filters, phasers, chorus, flanger, echos, reverse pitch and more. If that is not enough, a "Jam" page allows you to perform on this instrument with several unique interactions with the individual tracks and sounds live, This is not a drum machine but a new kind of electronic instrument that can be used as a drum machine if you want. But it goes way beyond that!

Years of waiting for AUv3… Nothing.

And if it gets released as a new version with a new price tag AFTER all this I’m gonna be livid, no lie.

Tried, tested, trusted drum machining

This is another of Oliver’s standout apps, with a solid pedigree having been auspiced by everybody’s favorite Audiodidactic Duo Mouse on Mars. Excellent updates, midi integration, sample handling, drum synthesis and those FX! Just take you’re.f to flavor country and buy with confidence

Thanks a lot for the nix words :)

No auv3 support

It seems cool but it is not an auv3. Inter-App Audio is problematic

Kicks are distorted

Updated: most recent update fixed this. Updated my review to five stars!

Kicks sound distorted. All fx are off. I’ve deleted the app, reinstalled. Tried on iPhone 15 and iPad mini 6th gen. Love to give it a higher rating but it’s unusable at present

Oliver - AUv3 pleeeeeeeeease! 😿

Want to use it more but prefer the state recall and other features of AUv3 over IAA (and because the world forgets about IAA a little more every day.)

Requested refund

Audio distortion issues, that I see mentioned in the forums on the Internet for well over a year, still not fixed despite the last update. Not good sign for the user experience on this app. It’s a shame because the app looks very interesting.

Should be fixed now, please update

Improper sequencer sync, with Elas. in 3/4. :(

I’ve tried everywhere just now to get through to mominstruments.com and I continually receive a 502 Bad Gateway notification. 🤨

Earlier today, I tried to set up 8 x patterns. 7 were each a variance on the 1st pattern. All 8 patterns were in the time signature of 3/4, so that I could have a nice blues feel drums rhythm, to jam with.

Connected to AUM through the non-AUM connection, Elastic wiuld not sync with any sequencer inside of AUM, with both running in the 3/4 time signature.

The normal 4/4 time signature that (it seems) most of everyone else is working with - syncs beautifully, of course.

I really hope that this bug can be fixed as Slastic after only a couple of hours working with is easily, one of tge coolest that I’ve played with in my 39 years of sequencing.

Unusable

Unusable on iPad 18.1 the timing of the loop is miles off. What the hell? Fundamental function of a drum machine is to keep time.

Response from developer

Should be fixed with update 2.5.1
