Awesome

This drum machine might be older than dirt but I think it’s one of the best out there!!!

Think this is heading in the right direction

I've given this app 5 stars as although there are some limitations (preset kits / samples and can't import your own) and there is a bit of a steep learning curve (but a good built in manual) there's a lot of possibilities. Being able to assign multiple AU effects for each chanel is brilliant and the AUv3 multi-out adds a whole new level of control in AU hosts. The developer is actively developing the app and I'm interested to see where it goes...

So quick, so easy, so much fun!

I don’t know what else to say... this drum machine is really well thought out and so easy to use. Within seconds of opening VAdrumSM on its own, I was mangling sequences and sounds with no need for instruction. It just worked.

Only one thing I want to see added... variable length patterns per track.
