Take my Money

Richtig guter und wirklich spaßiger Drum Sampler. Danke dafür. Bin echt positiv überrascht. 😁

This app is exactly as advertised

For .99 cents a month or 5 bucks a year this app I highly recommend this simple drum sampler.

SDS

Hello, is 999 rubles a one-time payment? If I pay 999 rubles, will the app be unlocked permanently or for 1 year?

Looking for more options and features add-in

Hi,
I love the software. I have the ideas and wish if you can develop adding to the next version for the drummer that can be able to control the sequence pattern loop (percussion add-in) while playing on the acoustic drum-set:
1. Option of small or BIGGER size for Play/Stop button. Like me i would select bigger button so when i play on my drumset, i can use the left hand to tap play/stop without miss hitting the button. (Current one is to tiny on top and missed tapping it while playing on my drum set)
2. I know i can also create a rhythm loop then import to assign on a certain pad to have it loop playing (trigger mode). For this when setup for the pad currently, i can increase the pitch higher, this will also increase the tempo/speed. If you can add the option here to have both Pitch and tempo fader separately so we can increase/decrease the tempo without changing pitch.
3. Along with option 2. Pitch fader should have the number shows up or down, so we would know how many keys we can transpose easily.

I m looking forward to these new features for the future. Thank you!

PROBLEMAS PARA SALVAR

Não consigo salvar meu kit programado. Quando clico para salvar o aplicativo fecha na hora . Só consegui salvar duas apresentações e paguei pela versão completa.

Groundbreaking for iOS

I bought this when it came out a couple of years ago and loved it immediately. Since then, it kind of fell off my radar in the sea of apps for iOS and Mac. Just rediscovered it and man - it’s just epic. The sounds are great and the sequencing functions are so well thought out. A real gem 5 stars all day long. Hope to see more from this dev!

Loses my work again

This my favorite audio tool has suddenly begun to throw away hours of work: whole kits just vanish from my user bank. I have been saving a kit to my files at the end of each session for a while now, but lately, if I don't pay attention to the app a while, working on different parts of the whole, e.g., it shuts down and when I open it again, it's returned to default and the kit I was working on is gone. Vanished. I still absolutely love it and all it's endless possibilities, but this is nerve-wrecking. I'm near tears for the intricate piece of hi hat prancing soundroom I just lost...

Great drum machine app

I think this is often overlooked and underrated drum machine. I love the sounds out of the box and the ability to control them. Everything is at your finger tips. There is quality, versatility, control over the sound, compatibility (auv3) and stability.

Response from developer

Thanks for the review! Glad you're enjoying SDS-x.

Je valide

Boîte à Rythme et sampler complet.
Tout est dans la description
J’ai téléchargé et payé SDS-x sans hésiter, il convient parfaitement à mes attentes (pour du live).
Une option avec 12 ou 16 Pads serais le bienvenue please 😊🙏🏽 est ce possible ?

Merci

Response from developer

Merci pour ces gentils mots ! Nous sommes heureux que vous aimiez SDS-x.

Beautiful, flexible, intuitive and fun to play

Well done. Thanks

Response from developer

Thanks for the kind review! Glad you're enjoying SDS-x.

One Small Request in an otherwise fun app

Thanks for a very good and fun to use app. Is it possible to open an init kit without any patterns selected vs deleting the ones in the default kit? Keep up the great work!

Response from developer

Hey thanks for the review, glad you like SDS-x! One thing I will note is that the MIDI input channels in the pad settings are saved in the kit. If you want to save MIDI input settings for the pads, you will need to save a kit with those settings. Hope this helps!

More kits, please

Excellent, fun and reliable drum app. Works very well as AU3 under AUM. Would love to be able to get more kits, preferably some including analog sounds, rock drums, reggae and other types.

非常喜欢这个鼓



Response from developer

Thank you!

Quero meu dinheiro de volta

Toda vez que vou salvar ou dar load no meu kit ele fecha sem salvar… usar isso ao vivo é impossível

Just Get It

More useful than it may appear at first (I was initially put off by the colorful pads, which makes it look like a toy), but I found it quite useful for the variety of drum kits it has and the available modification options.

My big ask for the developer: Please bring this to macOS (desktop) for M1 Macs. My workflow involves developing rough ideas on iPad Pro, then finaling on desktop and there are no fast and easy replacements for this app. Being able to use this as an AU plugin would be a tremendous timesaver. Thanks!

Response from developer

Thanks for the review! We've talked about bringing SDS-x to macOS but there are a lot of specific touch-based interactions that wouldn't translate super well to desktop. That being said, it's not out of the question!

Wasn’t sure at first. Glad I got it.

At first I thought “do I need another drum app?” Well, 10 minutes into it I realized this is the most fun drum app out there. The great presets and simple pattern programming make it easy to get into, and the deep customization options make it a product worth learning and tinkering with.

Get it, it’s useful and fun!

Straightforward sample play - YES!

Follow-up - it’s still awesome!

Use factory samples or import your own and play them back. That’s all I was looking for. Simple good sounding filter, delay and verb. I’m all in on this one! What’s it need? Not much IMHO! I’d like to see reverse sample play (unless I missed it) and AUv3 capability so I can host it without worrying about IAA going away.

Thanks for leaving a review! Glad you're having fun with SDS-x.

Excellent, very intuitive.

Really enjoying this. Just a heads up, the get Pro and the yearly subscription price in the UK App Store are mixed up.

Response from developer

Glad you're liking SDS-x! Thanks for the heads up. This should be fixed in the latest version (2.0.5).

Great 9 pad AU Drum App

I definitely love SDS-x, it’s clean and clear. You can see everything you need to on one screen. It’s easy to import samples and create kits. The presets are pretty good too. It’s easy to use, sounds great, and fits great into any iOS music setup. 5 stars.

Response from developer

Thanks for the review. Glad you like SDS-x!

Really fun and intuitive

Love this! Please update so you can drag and drop samples with split screen ! Also is recorded automation coming in the future? Thanks

Response from developer

Thanks for the review! I do plan to add sample drag and drop in an update later this year.
