## What is LoAdKer?

LoAdKer is a novel rhythm event generator that is based on fractal sequences. Unlike most other drum-mahines, LoAdKer has the ability to create complex patterns that evolve over time, sounding similar but not exactly the same. The result can be anything from minimal, repetitive beats to sonic mayhem, aided by the real-time effects that add an extra dimension to the sound.

LoAdKer has been designed as a performance tool and, in fact, it is being used as such by the developer himself. Thus, it is remarkably stable and easy to use either in a performance or in a studio. It can be especially useful to those who write electronic, electroacoustic, experimental music, IDM, glitch, noise etc. 

Features:

- four instruments: kick, hihat, fx1 and fx2 with synth and sampler audio engine, filter, reverb, delay controls and more

- every instrument has an extra control that determines the degree of their chaotic behaviour (this is where the real fun begins!)

- most parameters can be automated in real-time by drawing custom curves, which can be time or beat - based, looped or one-off

- adjustable audio buffer size (128 to 4096 samples)
 
- multiple sample rate support (subject to hardware capabilities): 44.1, 48, 88.2, 96 and 192kHz

- IAA/AudioBus™ and Ableton Link™ compatible

-performance recording

- import sounds from and export to Audio Copy™ and AudioShare™, export audio to Dropbox and exchange sounds over iTunes

## Key features

- Fractal-driven rhythm generation
- Evolving musical patterns
- Real-time effects

### 4/5 — Please make AUV3

*2023-06-29, version 1.11.0*

Oh this would kill it as a AUV3

### 5/5 — Works fine in 2023

*2023-06-11, version 1.11.0*

Interesting app, lot of care has gone on it. Not sure if I can get a midi file directly out of it (its easy to do it on cubase by hand) but its a good concept and the results are definitely useful, especially for EDM. Quite inspirational too, due to its mathematical nature.

### 1/5 — Cannot Load Longer Samples

*2022-04-20, version 1.10.0*

I wanted to load in a song to sample but apparently there is a file size import limit. Fortunately this app didn’t cost much. What a waste. I want refund.

### 3/5 — not stable

*2022-03-01, version 1.10.0*

i picked this up today while on sale. unfortunately it’s not very stable on my system (9th gen iPad running 15.3.1).

When I use Ableton Link and run it though an AUM IAA channel, the parameters vanish from the app interface, rendering it unusable.

### 5/5 — Definitely well done

*2021-05-29, version 1.10.0*

Very stable app, I tried to push it by automating like crazy, using Bluetooth headphones, WiFi running, using Apple Pencil, making quick changes.  She handled it all (way better than half the apps released this year, whereas this app is getting a little long in the tooth!)

The more you play with it, the more depth you realise it has.  The help controls are very well done.  Cool, unique, fun little groovebox I guess is the best term for it…. Well done to the dev.

### 1/5 — Could have great

*2021-05-16, version 1.10.0*

It constantly crashes. It’s of no use to me.

### 5/5 — great creative generator

*2017-07-19, version 1.5.3*

Sieht auf den ersten Blick sehr minimalistisch aus. Hat aber sehr viel Tiefe. Es kann sehr viel automatisiert werden. Sehr flexibel und kreativ. Sehr empfehlenswert!

### 5/5 — MINIMAL AT ITS BEST.

*2017-07-16, version 1.5.3*

Love it, but never satisfied. Please more updates!

### 4/5 — great start, instant glitchspiration!

*2014-01-14, version 1.0*

I've only just had my first fiddle.
1.0 says refinements are coming.

yes, export audio files would be very useful.

### 4/5 — Great, but needs audiobus support!

*2014-01-14, version 1.0*

Love the sound & ease of use of this app. Just wish it had audiobus support, or at least a record & export/audio copy option. Hopefully in the future updates.
