What's New in Pop Drummer

1.18

October 26, 2026

• Studio Mix: Console (with REEL, a studio tape machine), Room, Punch, 11 more chains and DAW automation. Listen before you buy; one purchase unlocks it in every Lumbeat app • Effects redesigned: new compressor, visual EQ, tempo-synced delay, limiter and 4 one-tap mix chains, with ‹ › to step through them, Bypass and Revert • Mixer: one SEND knob per track, level meters on the faders, and a button to maximize the mixer or the effects • Plug-in: the old "Pop Drummer (Old)" entry is gone. Projects that still use it need the main Pop Drummer plug-in loaded again • MIDI controls: MODE # switches between Live Pads, Song and Sound Module; FILL ON CHANGE ON / OFF, ignored when already in that state; new END and END NO CRASH, one last hit on the next downbeat, then stop (no fill) • iPhone: the mixer's corner button turns it sideways, and the sideways mixer and drum kit have their own Play button • Live Pads remember Cross / Snare and Ride / Hats, also when you change them while the pad plays • SAVE lights up after toggling Cross or Ride on a saved rhythm, and saves that version as a new rhythm • Song Parts: new CROSS button next to RIDE, to play a part with cross-stick • Plug-in: Play and FILL ► after a stop come back in on the rhythm's own bar when its time signature differs from the host's (a 3/4 waltz in AUM) • Plug-in: steadier playback when you move the playhead, bounce from mid-song or rewind in the DAW • Live Pads: long press a pad to CLEAR it, or drag it to move or swap it. New sets go to the end of the list, so set numbers never shift • Songs can now be sent to Rock Drum Machine • Received grooves are now played in Pop Drummer's own style, keeping the sender's accents • Performance and bug fixes

User reviews

Very flexible

This works really well when working on song ideas. I particularly like that I can easily use this on my iPad when playing guitar, or piano, or anywhere I’m feeling creative. Simple integration with Loopy Pro, which helps me. I also bought the Brushes version, which I think is even better!

Promising

Good jamming engine as usual but has a few quirks and crashes esp with auv3

I like so much

Excellent product. I am recommended.
