Really sucks.

It’s just a bunch of static and glitchy sounds. Nothing really musical. I wasted my money.

No real MIDI implementation in standalone mode.

It must be profoundly challenging to implement MIDI in iOS apps.

It’s own thing

The sound palette and rhythmic structures this thing can produce are stunning. Teams up nicely with Octachron.

Oscillator crackles when the pitch is changed. Hope this can be fixed.

This was great! Easy five stars! Needs an update nowadays!

Love this app but hadn’t used it in a bit. Just opened it up and it definitely needs an update. Do an IAP! I’d purchase in a heartbeat.

This was cool in the first place! Recent updates make it awesome! Nice combination of random and programmed sounds! 😎👍🏼👍🏼

Wastes 20% of iPhone 12 display

Making it impossible to see and play.

app was the best until iOS 16

the app has multiple modes, and you can easily bounce between the three and really utilize this app by itself as a peformance level drum synth.

unless you upgrade to an iphone 13 from iphone 11 and are using iOS 16. once that happens you lose the ability to leave the first mode, rendering the drone and sequencer as well as all of their features unusable. this is a bummer. i will go back to five stars if they update and fix this issue.

Sound great

Sounds great but midi implementation is not good. No midi cc. No way to change midi channel. No way to change midi notes. And you can’t trigger more than one sound at a time even if you load 2 instances in AUM.

Favorite iOS percussion synth

So innovative and weird but still easy to dial in to taste. Please make more apps!

Great for experimental music!

This is just what I was looking for, amazing, thanks!!!

Super fun!

Glitchy, noisy, and nasty. Well worth it. I hope the dev makes more apps

Amazing app but seriously needs midi and sequencer update

Update - prior to the developer response I figured out how to send midi. Can't remember the issue, although I still wish I could specify midi channel. I've been sending notes from digitakt to aum and I specify limiting this app to a specification midi channel in aum. Anyway it's a great sound design tool and I hope it's expanded upon - whether this app itself or maybe some future deluxe version or something. not enough unique drum sound design tools on ios for my taste. so this is nice

So first of all - amazing app for the price. Anyone considering it, just go find a demo video and you'll be sold.

However... The sequencer is frustratingly limited. You can choose to have between 1 and 16 steps but that's as advanced as it gets.

I'd like to see up to 64 steps in the sequencer, probability per step, and a "retrigger" option.

Thanks a ton for reading this, developer. Look forward to updates and future drum design apps

Innovative and deep

Wow. Truly this is one of the rare artifacts recovered from the alien world. I can’t wait to see where this goes.

How does the AU midi work? Tried in cubasis but the GUI never showed up and I couldn’t get it to play any sound.

Works great in nanostudio2.

Very much love this thing. Would love to see some manual and good docs!

For grimy sound manglers

Sick and slimy beats that you can morph and mangle like a wizard. Parameter locks are in here as are high quality randomization options. This a
Is a synth drum and drone mode is very obtuse.

Amazing!

This is a very interesting app for sound design and beat creation. It s on the indus/experimental side of the sound.
Wish it would have a pan and volume button for each steps and that it would have a longer step sequencer and a velocity editor.

Wonderful morphing droning percussive sounds

So, the good stuff... the four instruments are incredibly expressive and easy to shape. Within a single pad, you have a wide range of sound possibilities depending on how you set parameters across the width of each pad. Everything is on one page, so you can readily see how your sound is made and where morphing takes each of your sound’s parameters. Very intuitive!

The bad stuff... not to much to say here. You have to play around a bit to get some good sounds. With a little time and effort, any you’ll start to see how powerful this instrument can be in a live setting as well as within daw arrangements.

mh, interessante möglichkeiten...

noch recht buggy. ableton link funktioniert bei mir nicht und ich kann nur zwei projekte speichern. zumindest werden mir nur zwei beim laden angezeigt.

Response from developer

mit dem neuen update (1.05) funktioniert ableton link wieder. danke für den hinweis.

Crashing frequently

iPad Pro 11.5 running iOS 13.5.1
Example: click first step in sequence, click folder to load a sound, click factory sound bd 02. Crashes 100%.

It’s unclear if the pads are supposed to animate all the way to the top of the pad or if that’s a UI issue on iPad Pro?
A real-time recording option would be nice.

Finally something different

All very experimental, raw and noisy. Very nice drone generator. A sequencer with 32 or 64 steps would still be cool.

Getting better all the time

Really innovative and interesting sound generator - there's nothing quite like it in the whole app store. Loving the sounds you can get out of it and the way it's being developed and looking forward to AUV3 support.

Lots of fun

Looking forward to the built out maybe a beefier sequencer like different running directions flip or some live control. Midi?
