Worth living in the 21st Century
I swear the developers of this app created something so awesomely sophisticated and beautiful that I don’t know where to begin. I’m a bit fan of loops and randomness and polyrhythms and automation and they’ve created such a perfectly designed environment for creativity and play and invention that I could kiss their feet. It’s deep and approachable and the visual design is so appealing. The cloud kit idea is so cool and wonderful. The flexibility and immediacy of access is I think unparalleled. I love working with Patterning 2 and since the first iteration of this stellar app that brings the concept of drum machine into orbit and beyond.

Easiest, most organic beat-maker
I've tried tons of drum machines on the iPad, looking for one that made it easiest to create new beats and capture ideas. I keep coming back to this one!
The circular interface is creative, and as easy as a grid to use. But I can change subdivisions and offset the timing of individual instruments easily, which lends itself to getting a more in-the-pocket feel and adding polyrhythms.
Lastly, there's a huge selection of downloadable kits ranging from electronic and acoustic drums to traditional instruments of many kinds to provide inspiration. Love it!

Easy to Populate Ableton Session View
If you finish your productions in Ableton Live and like to use Ableton Session View during the songwriting phase, Patterning is an easy and intuitive way to quickly create a beat, then use that beat in Patterning to populate the foundational tracks and clips (including MIDI clips) in Ableton Session View by exporting the Patterning project to a Live Set.

This is how I think of music
Especially for drums, the circle makes sense in my brain. I pop out beats and loops so fast in this app, and they have more soul than linear programming.
So simple to use, but so much under the hood including; probability, timeline shift, a ton of free kits and ability to dd your own sounds.
Can’t wait for AUV3 to come!
