There are four distinct gestures, identified using the latest in machine learning technology, which enable you to jump seamlessly between snapshots with your movements. You can also use the gestures done using your iPhone, to control a remote instance of SNAP running on an iPad that is connected to the same wireless network for an interactive, multi-device musical performance. SNAP can communicate with your music apps, drum machines, DAWs and other musical equipment via MIDI OUT and Ableton Link. SNAP’s full integration with Native Instrument’s Maschine Jam, allows it to communicate bidirectionally to become its “drumming brain”.

Leider hat sie keine AuV3 Schnittstelle. Hätte sie das, gebe es volle Sternenzahl. Dafür ist die MIDI Funktion für einen schmalen Taler zu haben. ### 3/5 — ‘No export feature ‘ *2024-12-01* I understand that this app isn't supported anymore, but is there really no export feature? I had saved all my work, and when I uninstalled it, everything disappeared. So, if you've got stuff stored, definitely think twice before removing the app. It was my go-to for learning how to use pattern drum beats. ### 1/5 — App läuft im Hintergrund weiter *2021-01-10* Wenn diese App gestartet wurde, aber nicht beendet wird, läuft sie im Hintergrund stundenlang weiter und saugt die Batterie leer - wer weiß was sie sonst noch tut. Direkt gelöscht. ### 5/5 — Why *2020-09-07* I am giving 5 stars because this app has potential and to encourage development but it's as if they created the app and went to sleep. I read a 2 year old review and the dev responded something about the app evolving. Has it evolved? What is added as far as midi with an in app purchase? Not clear. I find it expensive, although that doesn't really bother me personally. It's just that too many users only buy cheap apps; why, I don't know. I buy the ones that I think I will enjoy. Who cares about spending the cost of a coffee and donut to have fun for years. Looking forward to the app evolving, or was that just bull? ### 2/5 — Too basic *2020-06-26* No mixer, no solo (that I can find), no pitch contril, no FX Can't get gestures to work. Have to tap on init to change drum kit so that's totally unintuitive. Can't swap out drums from different kits/create your own kit. Just good for creating up to 8 quick basic patterns that you can change up on the fly without losing your saved pattern so worth buying the midi out iap if it will let you control hardware but I haven't tested that. I assume each drum track/channel is on a seperate midi channel? Nice idea for what it does but could be much better. ### 2/5 — Audio issues *2020-02-23* App worked great for 2 days, then started getting crackling distortion from the speaker. I tested other music programs and music to see if it was an issue with my phone’s speaker and it isn’t. I tried deleting and reinstalling the app twice and restarting my phone, but still the same issue. It’s truly a shame. This was a great, straight forward sequencer to work on drum pattern ideas when I’m not near my studio. I hope this gets fixed. If so, I definitely want to pay for the saving and midi features. ### 3/5 — OK, but needs work *2018-10-16* Not bad, and the developers are working to improve it, but to me the biggest omission (unless I’m not seeing it) is a mixer. ### 4/5 — Отличное приложение, но есть нюанс... *2018-07-19* Всё замечательно, но сделайте пожалуйста возможность изменения Midi каналов! ### 5/5 — Sehr gut *2018-06-14* Sehr gut und verständlich aufgebaut ## Frequently asked questions about SNAP ### What is SNAP?
