1.3.2

June 15, 2020

Fixed a bug that caused the MIDI channel filter to always use the OMNI setting.

User reviews

Great drums

I run it in AUM through OCTACHRON to set my patterns. The app is the best 808 sounds on iOS I’ve heard. Universal and drum head control adjustments. Worth every penny. Banger.

well designed

this is the best 808 for iOS. would love a 909.

One of the best

I just like this straightforward and good sounding approach to an 808 on iOS. Too bad the dev never did a 909 and 707. ☹️

Midi clock sync issues with AUM

Though MV08 is by far my favorite drum machine for iOS, there are some issues with clock syncing and notes mapping...

Clock sync:
When used as an Inner app audio source, MV08 Midi connections setting does not see AUM and shows only Network session (Clock out in AUM is enabled)

That being said, you can’t start a music session simultaneously and have to sync beats manually by hitting play/stop in MV08. Toggling session BPM brings to the same issue.

Note mapping:
When used as an Audio Unit, drum keys are mapped to notes C4-D5#.

Most MIDI drum sequencer apps do not provide Note mapping, so you have to use MIDI note sequencers, which do not provide a good workflow for that matter.

I haven’t yet found any good advice or spec on the internet, so I’m writing this review here : )

Would love to import my own samples/sounds

Great job on the app so far! Looks good and sounds better. The step automation is what really makes this app great! I would really love to see import for samples implemented! This thing could be one of the top drum apps if that happened, combined with step automation this thing would definitely be a instant classic! Thanks
