User reviews

Excellent

Fast and fun. Love the ability to record automations live and the flawless loop export. User samples are easily added and overall workflow is intuitive. All in all a fantastic iOS groovebox.

Response from developer

Thank you so much for your kind review. So glad you're enjoying the automations and workflow. I'll continue to work to improve the app and I appreciate you taking the time to share this.

Nice so far

Nice and easy to learn Drummachine. Really like the Aesthetics. Only found a minor bug where it randomly switches between step and velocity mode sometimes when I switched to another track.Also can’t find probability and microtiming? But maybe that’s just me.

Otherwise it runs nice and stable, 2 thoughtful and quick updates already, witch give me hope that this could become a banger.

I personally hope every track/instrument becomes the same amount of manipulation options like the kick. Also more trigs per step would be a dream (I’m a Digitakt enjoyer), but that’s maybe a bit to much to ask for 😅

Response from developer

I really appreciate this feedback, thank you. We’re on the same page about where TEMPO-1 should go next, and I’ll keep working to bring more of these ideas into future updates. Probability and microtiming have shipped in the latest version, and I also added up to 8 retrigs per step. If you have any other ideas, or if there’s anything else that would make the app better for your workflow, please drop me a line at support@richardgillespie.ca. Thanks again for taking the time to share such thoughtful feedback.
