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

No sample import really?
Isn’t this a sample based drum machine... I can’t figure out for the life of me how to import own samp,es
Too much background noise to use
Cannot be used because there is a mid frequency static noise that triggers every time the bass drum and other samples trigger. Isolate the bass drum and turn the decay down to hear it loudly. Avoid
Great for tuned 808 bass
I needed to find an easier way to get nice plump tuned 808 kick drums so after reading on the audiob.us forum that the consensus was to use this app(MV08), I watched the thesoundtestroom video on YouTube to see it in action. Wow, it’s so easy with MV08! Why have I been working so hard on this with other apps? I bought this and NOW... my woofers could not be happier! I really didn’t need or want to learn another iOS drum machine but I’m here to say, this one is simple, easy, and sounds very nice.

Best sounding 808
The best on iOS for sure. Would like to see iOS 11 Full Screen AU with sequencer and all in GarageBand.
Great but no pattern save
Why no pattern save?
Love the randomize pads feature!
Super quick to get a good best going quickly. Lots of controls and is super intuitive on the whole.
Only request (for now!) Is MIDI out support. Would love I've to use mv08 to sequence drums in Ableton.
Thanks devs for a great app! Recommend for sure.

Audio unit update amazing!
Using this as AUv3 with the new midi unit plugins available makes this app very useful and go to for 808 sounds, a 909 version of this would be awesome too!
Super son
Un "clone" de 808 avec 64 pas et un son fidèle car à base de samples: que demander de mieux? Quelques petites options en plus mais sinon c'est une exellente BAR et qui est stable.
Macht Spaß und ist vielseitig!
Eine tolle App für iPad und iPhone, die auf beiden Geräten gut zu bedienen ist und eine angenehme Tiefe sowie tolle Sounds zu bieten hat!
Nice but...
Great sounding 808 clone. However, when switching patterns with a delay, reverb, or just a long release, the trailing sound gets cut as the pattern switches to give this unnatural effect that is not seamless. Quite undesirable for performance.
it's gr-8
Best 808 app I have so far played with, great sounds, easy to use, well worth the £3.99.
Fantastic drum app
P-locking each step is a killer feature, and it's MUCH easier to work with than other iOS drum machines. The basics are fantastic, now we need quality of life improvements if at all possible. AU, step sub-divisions, and loop export in .WAV would be excellent additions to an excellent app.
Solid 808 with good interface
I actually bought this app without necessarily realizing it was "another 808 clone", but it was immediately recognizable when I started hearing the sounds. The app sounds great, it's universal, and some real thought was put into the layout for tweaking the individual instruments. Some nice touches like pitch adjustment stepped by semitones, also. One thing I'd like to see is an easier way to trigger the instruments manually (you can do this on the one screen, but double tapping also inadvertently mutes that group). And I was a little lost trying to program patterns beyond 16 steps, but all the features are there, and it's probably just a learning curve. Finally, it should be an AU instrument, if it isn't already. Nice app for just a few bucks, and sure to get some use.

Great
Great sounding app with plenty of control.
Couple of suggestions for future updates
1/Song mode
2/ Drum name down left hand side of grid pattern (like TR707)
3/ When creating s new pattern the snare defaults to a crappy blip sound and not the typical 808 snare !? Can it default to typical 808 please ?

Currently the best 808 on iOS
The detail of the samples and workflow are impressive. It captures the feel of using the original hardware better than most. The only thing missing is the ability to tap write. Hopefully that will be added in a future update. Tap tempo would be helpful also.
