Lazy Lopez: Drums

A new name and a new look: Drum Buddha is now Lazy Lopez: Drums, part of Lazy Lopez Music. Your grooves, ideas, recordings and settings are right where you left them. The one change is the look: the app now has a single Lazy Lopez theme that follows your phone's Light or Dark setting, so a colour theme you picked before is not kept. Made for iPhone Duo: notation that stands up behind the kit, and a hinge for your left foot. On iPhone Duo • Stand it on the kick. Open the phone halfway and set it down: Pulse puts the tempo and the beat up where you can read them from the throne and the controls down on the flat half; a groove puts its notation up and the transport down; Jam does the same with the band. Nothing moves until the phone is actually standing. • The hi-hat pedal. On any groove with hi-hats, the hinge is your left foot: fold it closed and the hats play closed, open it and they open, and a quick stomp shut plays the foot chick. A Hat row in the transport card does the same by tap, and Pattern hands the hats back to the groove. • Capture closed, develop open. Record an idea with the phone shut, open it, and the idea is waiting on the big screen with its riff tab and notes beside the waveform. A take in progress also survives the phone opening or closing. • Everywhere else on the Duo, every screen keeps clear of the side strip and the welcome headline fits. The hinge features follow the phone's hinge angle and each has a touch equivalent. On every other iPhone nothing changes.
