### 5/5 — No Brainer STILL and 09-2021 it’s still a no-brainer an in ‘22

*2022-03-30*

Still a killer app. Buy 2!

Just wanted to say it again - this is awesome! More sounds than you can shake a stick at! Something useful every step of the way. Why haven’t you grabbed this yet? Well worth it!

### 5/5 — great app

*2022-03-29*

thanks for making.
lots of fun.

### 5/5 — Playable Interface

*2021-09-30*

On top of what everyone is saying, the app is very “playable” with near zero latency and astonishing sonic variety with zero learning curve. One hand on the transpose slider and another on the pads and you can freely jam with this thing.

Great job, devs!

### 5/5 — Superb

*2021-07-20*

This is everything I need, and more. I keep buying other drum apps in search for a particular sound and pretty much always end up back here. Thank you.

### 5/5 — An absolute techno god machine

*2021-02-25*

Richie and Flügel would approve

### 5/5 — 🔫 (<- пушка)

*2021-01-30*

по-моему за свои деньги это просто бомба, учитывая помимо всех фишек в рамках интерфейса, еще и возможность шарить намайненные звуки во все возможные форматы вселенной. хочешь - пользуйся глитч-пэдами, хочешь - экспортируй в классические секвенсоры, или, к примеру для генератива в другие удобные для этого инструменты, скриптовые редакторы и т.д. 
нравится, рекомендую.

### 5/5 — Super App!

*2020-11-30*

absolut innovatives Konzept, großartig ! :)

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2020-07-28*

The amount of creative possibilities is virtually infinite with this neat small app. Big thanks for the developer.

### 5/5 — Yes!

*2020-04-05*

I agree with the other guy 😁. Oops! The other guy is gone. Still a great app! Sounds different. Sounds great! Especially if you don’t want to sound like everybody else.

### 5/5 — Workhorse for beats

*2020-02-23*

This app has quietly but steadily become a workhorse in my creative process. More percussion sounds than you can shake a fist at and the interface makes it dead simple to explore, lock what you like, explore more, until you’ve dialed in the beat you want. Ridiculously cheap considering how much I use it.

### 5/5 — Simply amazing

*2020-02-14*

Thanks for this awesome drum and other quirky glitch sound app. Very usable.

### 5/5 — It could...

*2020-02-05*

Have a button to wipe your butt too. Because you do not want to make your own beat? Or there aren’t enough “random Beat Generation” type apps out already??

It is what it is and it’s a pretty cool thing in Mo’s eyes. So maybe you can buy Mozaic and get yer random beat and see-wing on from Bram. Alex has yer drum sounds covered with this app here!

### 5/5 — Inspirational

*2020-02-03*

Certainly a different approach to the Drum/Rhythm Machine. Superficial easy or damningly deep - the choice is yours. TIP Save often and review.

### 5/5 — Essential

*2020-02-03*

I use it on pretty much everything now. Glitch magic

### 5/5 — Great for Samples

*2019-12-04*

I’ve purchased the majority of audio units and IAA music apps for iPad and iPhone. I’ve purchased every DAW and most effects, synth and drum machines apps. This one is one of my favorites. It reminds me of Caustic Volca Sample which never got a 64bit update and therefore has not been in my workflow for a couple years. The endless number of glitch and bass samples this app produces is well worth the $2. Love the sounds this app generates and has instantly become a key part of my workflow.

### 5/5 — Loving it

*2019-11-12*

Was eyeing up a volca drum to complement my sample based drum machine and A4 with some digital drum hits - this little app has saved me dropping £150. Love being able to slightly mutate individual sounds to give a palette of subtle varying drum hits. Some great textures to load into sampler and loop/pitch shift / mangle.
Looking forward to creating a whole sample library from these as the basis of a new dark techno project.

### 5/5 — My wife owns my heart,

### 1/5 — バックグラウンド処理？

*2020-09-03*

バックグラウンド処理とかでめちゃくちゃバッテリー食ってた。一体どんな処理をやる用事があるんだ。バッテリ消費も迷惑だけど純粋に怖すぎる。

### 3/5 — Такое

*2020-10-27*

Жрет батарею как бегемот, даже когда не пользуешься приложением. Исправьте, пожалуйста. Звучит местами интересно.

### 3/5 — good idea

*2019-10-20*

it’s pretty cool but without editing on individual sounds/pads (at least volume!) it is not so usable

### 3/5 — Nicht ganz was ich erwartet habe

*2019-10-14*

Die App generiert elektronische Klänge für ein Drumpad, auf dem Drumpad kann man sich dann austoben. Ich dachte es generiert automatisch Begleittracks, aber das scheint es nicht zu tun. Der Sound ist sehr elektronisch, ich hatte da eine andere Vorstellung, daher nur drei Sterne.

### 4/5 — C’est une belle application, mes la gestion et la sauvegarde des fichiers !

*2019-10-31*

C’est une belle application, mes la gestion et la sauvegarde des fichiers !

### 4/5 — Gute Idee, mittelmäßige Umsetzung

*2019-10-16*

Die Idee finde ich sehr gut und es macht Spass damit herum zu spielen. Leider sind die Latenzen viel zu hoch (ipad 2018) und so macht es natürlich für einen Drumsynth nicht so viel Spaß.

### 4/5 — Auto generate button

*2019-10-14*

It could have a button that auto generate the sounds and another one that auto generate a random beat in a grid, with swing option...  that will help..

### 5/5 — Nvm

*2026-06-09*

The problem was my volume was all the way down do get this! EDIT: idk what 2024 me was on it was silent mode making me not hear it, still fun to play with in 2026 tho

### 5/5 — Best beat maker I have!!

*2026-01-31*

So I use this and run it  through harmony bloom and I get instant random fantastic rhythms. I was so tired of worn out kick drums and snares. This is just lovely!  In the process of getting all your apps. They put some fun into music.

### 5/5 — Это шедевр

*2025-10-02*

Это айдиэмовый кладезь! Преклоняюсь

### 5/5 — Fun in Loopy Pro

*2025-09-15*

I don’t know why anyone would not throw a couple bucks at this app.  It is beautiful

### 5/5 — I love the simplicity

*2025-03-02*

Excellent plug-in! No frills does what you need it to.

### 5/5 — OMG _ Alex is iosRoyalty

*2024-06-30*

If u drum  u know wassup

Great w/everything.

### 5/5 — Nvm

*2024-05-08*

The problem was my volume was all the way down do get this!

### 5/5 — Brilliant

*2024-01-08*

This app is dead simple to use and lets you easily conjur up loads of cool drum sounds out of thin air.

### 5/5 — Great idea, great fun, great price!

*2022-09-09, version 1.1b*

For under a couple of quid, this is such a good buy. Tapping the control to generate a new set of sounds is addictive. The app is also genuinely useful, and being AU3 fits in nicely with other drum apps to build up a unique sound.

### 5/5 — Inspiring, intuitive & utterly addictive! 🐰

*2022-04-17*

Another incredible release from this much loved veteran developer. This drum machine is wonderful and so intuitive and instantaneous to pick up and get lost in (plus it sounds scrumptious) generating practically infinite lush sonic textures, shapes, colours and transients. I’ve always loved fractals since the 80’s after spending my childhood generating Julia, Mandlebrot and Chaos Set’s on the Atari ST (whilst also being attacked by them via Geoff Minter’s classic ‘shoot-em-up’ Lamatron)! Everything about this software rocks and the GUI is so cool and original! Thank you so much for creating this wonderful electronic percussion instrument which is a must have for any drum freaks out there …brilliant!
