It's Definitely a great tool for jams and idea sketching or creating drum sections for a chip tune vibe. Cool! I'm surprised it's free! Gj to the maker! ### 5/5 — Solid beats! *2016-09-03* And a helpful hint to the players out there - you can manually enter tempo up to 999 BPM, despite what the slider suggests. Have fun! ### 5/5 — Give us Tap Tempo! *2016-03-27, version 1.7.2* Super fun and way easy to use. It's a techno wonderland. Only thing that would make it better would be a tap tempo! ### 5/5 — Instant fun! *2016-03-26* I use it all the time on my home in the metro. The interface is easy to understand and the synthengine is capable of some really great sounds. You can create Drumgrooves, basslines and crazy lofi-fx. Reminds me of the pollard syndrum or old edrum modules. Performance record and now Ableton Link make this app a burner! ### 5/5 — Nice little synth drum machine *2016-03-23, version 1.7.3* It's simple it sounds great and and as the name implies it is fun to tweak. ### 5/5 — Even better *2016-03-22, version 1.7.3* I've loved this app since my first iPhone. Now with ableton link, it just got even better! ### 5/5 — Brilliant! *2016-03-22, version 1.7.3* Love the app. The simplicity and power are amazing. I'd like to see the interface funk'ed up. ### 5/5 — What a fantastic little app! *2016-02-20, version 1.7.2* I have whiled away hours playing with this deceptively powerful drum machine. And I know that I will continue to do so. ### 5/5 — Makes really unique grooves easily *2015-10-02* Just the right layout to make unusual beats easily. 16 step sequencer with only one sound per step, but there are 16 different sound generators with options for cutoff, delay and noise and pitch etc, so very versatile. The best bit is the distortion, which makes everything sound nasty and acidic, and it is very possible to do 303 like grooves. So not just a percussion sequencer, but also a simple synthesiser too. When I say simple, I forget that it has loads of connection options, pattern saving and audio recording of beats and loads more ### 5/5 — Such a good time *2015-09-18, version 1.7* Love this app and the sounds it can make. Total steal at this price. Now with MIDI sync. It's so simple and brilliant. 😍 ### 5/5 — Drum synthy-ness! *2015-08-09* Update: One thing I wish this had: a way to make cleaner loops. An export function to export a specific number of bars would be terrific. Still a 5 star app. Fun drum synth. Not too complicated. I always have problems when too many options are given. In this drum synth, the options are enough to remain interesting while not making the process overly complex. The sounds are good. It's mono, not stereo. I love that. Oddly addictive. Keep going back to it. This can add a lot to your mix if you play with it. For $.99, you can't beat it. ### 5/5 — Excellent drum synth app *2015-05-27* I've played with quite a few drum and pattern-based music apps, but this one is my favorite. The interface is straightforward and intuitive and the more in-depth features (being able to type the tempo, MIDI sync, etc.) give it an actual usability as part of a setup. The parameters are all tasteful and useful. While being a mono synth may seem limiting for drum patterns, it keeps the app from getting over complicated and allows for full view of everything that's happening all at once. Freedom to have any color be any sound you want allows for great expression where other drum machines and apps have you tied down. Thanks, and I look forward to continuing my use of this app in my music production. ### 5/5 — Thank you.... *2015-05-20, version 1.7* Thank you for a fantastic, fun & feature filled app - intuitive, inspirational, & did I mention fun?! ### 5/5 — Super *2015-05-05* Macht Spaß. Auf die Schnelle oder unterwegs ein paar lofi Beats basteln. Leider nur monophon aber kann ich mit leben. ### 5/5 — Thanks *2015-04-25, version 1.7* For audiobus and inter-app audio! Great app. ### 5/5 — Great! UPDATE 2015 *2015-04-24, version 1.7* IAA plus MIDI plus Audiobus??!! WOW - greater than ever! Just ran it through ToneStack in AudioShare. Very nice!! Still great - even greater with the new features. All my requests below have been added and then some. Nice! The ability to record to aiff and the stop/start button are all this needed. OK -audio copy/paste would be nice. Randomize and customize some loops, export them and further tweak in the DAW of your choice (Caustic anyone?). This is not your tired old drum machine! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Worst music app so far *2013-07-20, version 1.6.2* I can't believe how horrible this app is I want my money back WORST app ever please remove by the way the only reason I give this app the one star you see is simply because there was no option. I give it two thumbs down👎👎 ### 3/5 — Latest iOS update *2015-04-17, version 1.6.4* Love this app - latest update lost the sliders , on the plus at least ### 3/5 — Great *2012-12-19, version 1.6.1* Enjoyed it. use it some. ### 3/5 — Fun, cool, lots of character *2012-06-18* Like the name of this drum machine says, this drum machine is pretty tweakable. Coming up with some cool, useful, unexpected and unusual sounds is right there with some manipulation of the sliders. I'd give it at least another star if it could play more than one voice at a time. Without that ability, this app is kind of a toy, when it could be something great if further developed. Maybe the developer can hook up with a 3rd party sequencer app maker and multiple voices can be added. I would use this thing in live performance if that happened. The swing control also needs to be adjusted so that all amounts of swing are useful. A perfect example of a swing fader done right is the one in Funk Box, which also has a great multi-voice sequencer. A little more work and Tweaky Beat could be legendary. ### 3/5 — Sounds great *2010-04-24* would be great to have the bpm in numbers! maybe a second row to play simultaneously, some effects like bitcrushing and I'd pay some money for that!!! ### 4/5 — Simple but powerful *2017-04-22* Really nice simple sequencer but not 5* due to: tapping the sound selection should play the sound. Missing a "new session" command". Great tho, keep up the good work. ### 4/5 — First Impresions *2017-04-09, version 1.7.4* I'm just trying it out, it seems fun, however I just wanted to point out that the link to the YouTube tutorial doesn't work. ### 4/5 — Nice app! *2016-02-15, version 1.7.2* Very fun app ### 4/5 — Great update *2015-01-31, version 1.6.4* I like this thing and the new effects are really good! Hopefully some other effects can be added too. Delay would be awesome and take it to yet another level in my opinion. Just got back in to this awesome app Edit: how about audiobus? That would be awesome for effects possibilities. I'll save that last star for that. Good stuff. Thanks! ### 4/5 — Awesome *2014-04-14, version 1.6.4* Great fun. Needs midi sync though. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Beautifully simple, amazing fun *2026-01-24* This is such a fantastic app. You can play around with it for hours. It’s a shame that it hasn’t seen an update in a long time.

Wish this was a VST plug-in for use in a DAW. It’s goto beatmaker. ### 5/5 — Wow it’s still here! *2019-07-06* Was watching a moog documentary today and I remembered this amazing app. Thanks for keeping it going it’s a hidden jewel of the App Store. ### 5/5 — Sehr geil🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊 *2018-10-22* Macht echt geile bleeps & blops und läuft sauber unter Midi.

It's still consistently one of the best iOS apps I have ever used and it is still updated. This is my first review for an app. you can make ridiculous catchy beats in less than 1 minute of learning the app. Fantastic. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
