Love it

Nicely thought out design, a solid foundation upon which to build acid

Simply Stellar

I’m a Rebirth user from 25 years ago. Moved away from electronica, but have returned recently. I looked at many 303 apps on Mac, but none matched my memory of Rebirth (Phoscyon2 is pretty good though, but 10x the price of Pure Acid). Superb UI, great sounds, nice presets to jump start things. No annoying subscriptions, which I rarely acquiesce to. Great price. Just get it! Oh, and as always, Slava Ukraini! Since the war began, I’ve discovered that many of my favourite apps are written by Ukrainians. Hope to visit one day, once they kick the Orcs out.

Audio Cutoff

Hey my friend I love this app so much! Can you make it to where it doesn’t blowout/stop/cut off when trying to record on GarageBand when using Inter-App Audio especially and specifically when you’re getting into long recording sessions causing you to have to start your track all over constantly until it goes all the way through or if it’s loud. Ty my friend.

5/5

Must-Have-App

Best Acid Bass and Drum Machine App (or hardware)

This app is feature rich, the joy is equally endless. Programming the original or the clones is not for the faint of heart. Pure Acid offers screen to create patterns as well as keys. So much to tweak, add fx to drums and bass, control the dry/wet and there are fx kill switches. The preset patterns are incredible. Better than anything I could make. Tweaking the parameters brings me a lot of joy. I have the Behringer TD3 & RD6. This app is way better. I have mapped to Novetion XL Control to have hardware engagement. Even without hardware mapping, it’s fantastic. Jim Audio is a fantastic designer. The depth of his passion for electronic music shows in the way this apps allow creativity.
Highly recommend

Best TB-303 App

There’s so many things you can make with this app if you know how to program it, it has all the features you could want, my only suggestion is to add the drum samples of the TR-727 and LinnDrum, other than that this app is a masterpiece

Born Again

I was too late to get the Rebirth app before it was pulled, so I’ve been looking for something similar. This app is an improvement over Rebirth in many ways, especially in how it modernizes the programming process.

I was wondering how the included examples got the sweeping effect, as you cannot record knob movements. The method here is to use the LFO. Set it at a low rate and it will give a nice sweeping effect to the bass line.

Also included are conditionals to do things like having a crash cymbal only sound on the first of four times a pattern plays (1:4). Couldn’t find that covered online, so it took me a while to figure that out.

This app is VERY well designed.

Not as fun as Rebirth

The fun about Rebirth is that u could make minimal tunes with bass beat and melody. U could build the foundations of a song. Unfortunately this does not have 2 synths, only 1….so it misses the point of what made Rebirth so loved by many.

The whole app is nothing less than phenomenal. To the developer: please keep updating it, especially to keep Ableton link compatibility. Thank you.

Wow!

This app sounds and works great. It’s a full standalone acid creation suite, you don’t really need anything more than this. But you’ll want to get a midi controller with a bunch of knobs on it so you can do the proper twiddling during performances.

I wish it had midi thru, or it’s my failure that received midi clock isn’t sent back out the other end.

Another synth in my collection going up for sale!

It’s taken me a couple of attempts to get the hang of this app and get it properly synced and stay in time with Ableton. But I finally worked it out and it is wonderful! For my setup, the trick was to use track delay settings in Ableton on the audio track that the iPad is feeding into by -35ms and that seemed to line up the acid bass with my Ableton project pretty tight. Before that it was miles out of sync and sounded rubbish. The real magic for me in this app is being able to set your key of your track and hit the generator button to generate new patterns. I cannot stand dialling in patterns on my hardware 303 synth and this solves that problem beautifully. Well done to the person that made this app. I’m going to be selling my hardware now as this is so much easier at just getting the job done.

génial !

app intuitive, sonne très bien, parfait !!

blown away

This app is incredible. Very intuitive and fun. Excellent recreation of classic ReBirth set up but brilliantly reimagined for iPad! I can't believe how great this thing is. Gorgeous and clean aesthetic. Great sound. Excellent user interface. It's very easy to lose hours going down the acid wormhole with this baby. I've only had it a couple of hours and I've made like 10 jams so far. Looking forward to trying out the export feature to see if I can render some cool acid loops to use in Octatrack!

Notizbuch für Zwischendurch

Manchmal kommt es vor, da habe ich aus dem Nichts plötzlich eine Bassline im Kopf, die so herrlich "zieht", dass ich mich am liebsten sofort an den Rechner setzten würde. Dann ist diese App perfekt, um mal eben schnell die 8 oder 16 Takte zu fixieren, um zumindest das Grundkonstrukt festzuhalten, in der Hoffnung, das aktuell dazu vorherrschende Gefühl später beim Transport in die DAW nachvollziehen zu können. Dafür ist die App wirklich perfekt, und mehr mache ich damit auch gar nicht.
Schade nur, dass selbst gebastelte Sequenzen nicht zwischen Geräten synchronisiert werden. Das ist, wie ich finde, ein echtes Manko.

Best Acid drums and bass on iOS

As with the other Jim audio apps, this is incredible. Wonderful sounds, 303,707,808, and all that jazz! I absolutely find it indispensable with its integration with GR II. Thank you Jim.

Audio Cutoff

Hey my friend I love this app so much! Can you make it to where it doesn’t blowout/stop/cut off when trying to record on GarageBand as an extension especially and specifically when you’re getting serious or if it’s loud. Ty my friend

Good app, one question….

Great sound and app, just one question as I’m not on Facebook and can’t get support - how do I clear patterns to start from fresh?!?!
