### 4/5 — Small footprint midi out but...

*2020-04-08, version 1.1.0*

Needs internal bpm control and run in background option.

### 5/5 — Great Little Drum Machine

*2019-11-06, version 1.1.0*

As mentioned, needs randomizer for sounds. Also, AUv3. But it sounds great and is fun to use!

### 4/5 — Solid 4 stars

*2019-07-14, version 1.1.0*

Great app!!! Quick workflow and it’s easy to find something interesting sounding.  PLEASE add the sound randomize feature in your other apps into this one!  This is a cool little loop generator.  Sound randomization would make this an great app!!!
