Best drum sequencer on Iphone!

This drum machine is fantastic and free. It has some of the best presets, and has replaced the previous iphone drum GOAT (octachron). It's also FREE!! All of Snorkel Audios apps are top tier, well thought out and loaded with features. The only complaint and possible reason for people not to vibe with it is the lack of ratchets and multiout. Ratchets is vital, imo. Until then- i have to use a third party to ratchet and without multiout to isolate my ratchets to just hats and snares it kinda jacks with the feel of the drum track.

Powerful , quick and easy to use.

Powerful ( poly meter , poly rhythm , 4 slot samples ) , Has all the necessary facilities, Very handy and convenient. And strangest of all, IT IS FREE 🥹.
Maybe a little more attractive colors would make it more attractive.
