If you canโ€™t make a good jam or something useable must be something wrong with you

Not as many features i would like mainly auv3 these days and only one of the devs apps has this right now but for something stand alone I can coax some good samples here and the grafix are awesome imho which contributes to a great app.

Dude... You Forgot Something

Seriouslyโ€”a drum synth with on IAA or core MIDI support? What the duck am I supposed to do with this??? I suppose I could sample it (it sounds pretty good), but I have better things to do with my time.

Waste of time and $$$$

Dials are impossible to accurately adjust. Asking for a refund

Response from developer

The know input mode can be changed in settings.

A drum synth without MIDI?

There's no midi in or out. The sound being synthesized it's nice but it's fairly limited to pitch, filter, blah blah blah. The click cymbal sound is fine, but it's just that a click sound with volume and pitch. Can't change the tempo without tapping, you can't manually type in the tempo desired.

Waste of Money!

Sorry I bought this. Help button goes to web site with no help, just pictures of other products by this provided. Complete waste. I want my money back. I am rating this a one star app because that is the lowest rating I can give it. It really deserves no stars at all.

Please email me I'll do my best to help you. info@designbypaul.co.uk

Lightweight drum machine not useful

No real useful features to speak of.... No MIDI, no Ableton Link, no IAA or AudioBus support. Not even BACKGROUND audio.....so...so CAN it do?

This app is completely useless in terms of making beats or music.

Response from developer

Since this review was left I've added IAA, Audiobus and Ableton Link. Please email me for any other enquiries info@designbypaul.co.uk

Fun to tweak. Hard to get the exact sounds you're looking for.

Like others mention, this app has potential. Conceptually, I get it... and that's what made me excited about it. In practice, however, it's a bit on the hard side to get the sounds you're looking for. Although it's fun to tweak and play. Bottomline: looking forward to some innovative updates! Thanks!

great synth drum

this synth drums sounds great and is very tweakable. the interface is very sharp. the pads are very playable and responsive. very nice drum machine.

this app would really shine if it had a decent midi implementation. the sequence is a really nice addition though, and is a good holdmeover until midi comes.

Updates are pretty consistent and I'm happy to see the dev taking care of this app and hopefully it will eventually live up to its true potential.

Please add midi

This is a really wonderful drum machine. Midi implementation, mainly sync and start / stop would make this much more usable in a live setting

Good start , but needs ......

Descent voice architecture for creating classic drum synth sounds .
Quick clean layout .

So the Has : nice sound /nice gui with easy workflow

The Needs : core midi ,virtual midi , IAA

THE IT WOULD BE NICE : An env section for the kick for more sculpting possibilities .
More effects with basic bussing , distortion circuit , spring and plate reverb
, but selectable per voice or at least a send amount per voice .
A 4x4 lfo and env that is assailable to anything (midi note on too) would make this insane !

Been searching a long time

I have to say I've been searching for an app like this for a long time. I love the old analog Syndrum sound, such as when Russ Kunkle used them on Linda Ronstat's "Poor Poor Pitiful Me". I can set it up and make a sample for my Roland SPD-S.
I'm looking forward for MIDI control so I can use my SPDS for a trigger.
Love this app.

Fantastic

Excellent, absolutely get it.

Drum synthesis!

I love it! Great sounds. Needs MIDI please!

Cool, but

-having trouble using w/Audiobus, when app opens (ios7, ipad4) error message appears, "there was a problem" initiating connection with Audiobus! Audiobus will be disabled...

So Close

Wonderful app with tons of creative potential. The integration with AudioBus (AB) has made this a useful app in music production. Would love to see the "speed" slider in the Master Delay read in BPM in a future update โ€ฆ this would make this much more useful to musicians, especially for creating loops via AB into Loopy HD.

Great Start

On the right track! Needs better audio output, multiple distortions(not just bit crush! maybe some amp/saturation, and foldback as well) envelope/filters, wave form types, pink/white noise, click tone adjustment, good reverb, and a good full featured pattern generator. A sample input would be neat to process samples. And compression!,!!!! A MUST HAVE to synthesize good percussive drums!!!! Still lots of fun. If the dev continues t work this thing, it could be a 5 star app. If not, I'll just go back to SunVox. ;)

Can't believe I paid for this

Basically featureless drumsynth. Save your money and get a real drum machine app like the DM1

Nice start !

Good sound and features.
Too bad there are no default sounds loaded at startup !
I think a lot of ppl will delete it without even thinking all buttons are set to zero...
Try to create a default load set next update :D
