## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Great drum machine, awful UI

*2026-04-17*

It sounds great unfortunately the user interface is downright awful (especially the sequencer).

### 1/5 — Einfach nur schlecht

*2026-01-30*

Sorry, aber es ist sein Geld absolut nicht wert. Die Sounds sind alles andere als legendär.

### 1/5 — Softwarestand unbrauchbar

*2026-01-15*

Es ist scheinbar nicht möglich, erstellte Drum-Sequenzen in der App zu speichern und wieder aufzurufen. Alle Speicherfunktionen beziehen sich lediglich auf die Sounddefinition einzelner Drumspuren oder eines Presets dass die Klangeinstellungen aller 16 Kanäle speichert. Was auch fehlt, ist eine Midiverwaltung für den Stand Alone Mode. Startet man die App als Stand Alone Anwendung, kann man keinerlei Midiroutings nach außen oder von außen definieren. Tekno taucht auch in anderen Audio Apps nicht als Midisource oder Destination auf. Die praktische Anwendung von Tekno erschließt sich dadurch leider nicht.

### 1/5 — Extremely lazy port

*2026-01-09, version 1.1*

They just took the desktop plug-in and slapped it on iOS. It’s not enjoyable to use on the iPad and practically impossible on the iPhone.

### 2/5 — Lazy Port

*2026-08-01*

It’s really sad, this thing sounds pretty nice and the Randomizer for the voices gives u useable results most of the time. But the UI feels extremely sluggish, never had so many unregistered taps in any other app. It’s already pretty bad on on my m3 iPad, on iPhone it’s pretty much unusable. This thing released like 6 months ago and there is still no fix? 

Pretty embarrassing for a household name like Baby Audio. Transit 2 seems to have the same problems like Tekno, so I won’t buy until I see an Update.

I don’t have any troubles with BA-1; also Crystaline works fine, so what went wrong with the newer releases? At this pricepoint it’s unacceptable, despite the audioquality it offers.

### 2/5 — Swing is off

*2026-01-08, version 1.1*

Swing is unstable: with Human = 0 and a straight 16th-note pattern, timing audibly drifts between bars instead of locking to a fixed swing feel.

### 3/5 — Sound is nice.

*2026-05-06, version 1.1*

Feeling the weight in the sound totally original. Needs panning options not just for the drums but in the sequencer. It was worth the price and is very usable.

### 3/5 — Need to do something about iPhone version

*2026-01-09*

I think it’s misleading to promote this app as universal. No consideration has been given to screen size. Virgin seems identical to iPad. Buttons are tiny. Barely usable on iPhone.

### 4/5 — Super mais pas adapté aux smartphones

*2026-04-18*

J’ai acheté ce logiciel pour mon mac et mon ipad, mais c’est vraiment dommage que je ne puisse pas l’utiliser pendant mes trajets sur mon iphone. La fenêtre de l’appli est trop petite pour paramétrer quoi que soit. 
Pourriez vous régler ce problème en faisant une fenêtre extensible ? Ou faire un système de scrolling ? J’espère que cette appli va encore évoluer car les sons sont vraiment pratiques à travailler. Et j’aime faire ça pendant mes transports. 
Etes vous sur une future évolution vers cette idée ?

### 4/5 — Mitigé

*2026-01-18*

Super plugin, ça sonne vraiment bien et on obtient vite un résultat qui tabasse !
Par contre certains contrôles sont vraiment petits et il faut parfois (souvent) s’y reprendre à plusieurs fois pour appuyer là où on veux (les petits dès par exemple). Je suis pourtant sur iPad Pro 12,9. J’ai essayé par curiosité sur un iPad mini est j’ai passé plus de temps à essayer d’appuyer sur certains fonctionnalités qu’à vraiment cliquer dessus … du coup j’imagine qu’il est tout simplement inutilisable sur IPhone :(
Je suis mitigé donc, car j’adore les plugins de Baby audio mais ce serais top que leurs portages sur Tablette/téléphone soient mieux adaptés à ces supports.

## Most praised reviews (6 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Super good

*2026-05-31*

Don’t understand the negative reviews, sounds hit hard, design parameters go deep enough without feeling cluttered. Great bit of kit.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2026-04-02, version 1.1*

Despite the size being small this still packs a giant punch in GarageBand, AUM, Cubase, Ootoo and Logic 
Running this through Augmented or MuseBud is amazing 
Throw other Auv3 units on it and it becomes monstrous 
Transit 2 plus Tekno 
Boom 
Forget all the hate on this app 
Everyone just use a magnifying glass and get over it 
This sounds amazing 
It’s highly versatile and fun 
With everything built into it 
The fact I can make multiple busses out and duck all from the app itself is insane 
I can shape each drum sound individually then after that individually throw auv3 units on each drum piece 
Insane for an iOS iPad os app 
Insane

### 5/5 — Fun and Robust Drum Synth

*2026-01-26, version 1.1*

Super impressed with this app; as per usual with Baby Audio. Really deep drum synth options on iPhone are especially welcome.

### 5/5 — Enjoying it so far

*2026-01-24, version 1.1*

I don’t have the desktop version so can’t compare, but so far this sounds great and is easy to learn (Drum Computer being the closest comparison that comes to mind with a slightly higher learning curve). Limited to 16 step sequence, but at least you can pick the number of steps and add probability, which for me are both essential because I like random patterns in odd meter. Also being able to choose the number of steps for each individual voice is great, adding even more randomness, more chaos, more poetry in motion. Looking forward to mixing this into my modular system because I embrace the marriage of humans and technology.

### 5/5 — Awesome!

*2026-01-11*

Awesome plugin port!

### 5/5 — 10 stars

*2026-01-08, version 1.1*

Have the desktop app. Once I heard this was here, insta cop, no questions asked. Review given before opening app. You want fun, you want to groove, you want to move, don’t say no, say Tekno!
