Introducing MV08, a new drum machine for iPhone and iPad. Inspired by one of the greatest drum machines of all time. Re-imagined with a modern touchscreen workflow. SOUND ARCHITECTURE The MV08 features over 200 16bit 44.1k wav files that have been faithfully sampled from one of the most important drum machines in history. (featuring 60 samples for the kick drum alone!). On top of the original voice controls we have added Pan, Pitch and two editable send effects per voice, along with a master 3 band EQ and Distortion. A POWERFUL SEQUENCER Keeping the classic XOX style sequencer from the original, we have added in some powerful updates bringing it into the 21st century: All of the voice controls can now be sequenced per step, giving you limitless freedom and possibilities to create evolving and innovative rhythms (not to mention killer bass lines!). Each pattern can be 1-64 steps long and played at either a 16 or 32 step resolution – giving you endless options to create complex time signatures and long evolving loops. FUN WITH PATTERNS There are 8 banks of 16 patterns giving you a total of 128 user patterns to play with, ensuring you don’t run out of space when inspiration strikes. We’ve created a separate demo bank to get you started featuring some classic rhythms from time gone by. You can even record the master output and export to your favourite DAW. FEATURES: - Over 218 rich 16 bit 44.1k wav samples - 60 individual samples for the kick drum alone - Additional pan, pitch and 2 x send effects per drum - Deep step editing to create dynamic and evolving rhythms - Master distortion and eq - Choose between 16 and 32 step resolution - Change the amount of steps for interesting time signatures - 128 pattern slots - Record and share your sets - Audiobus, Inter app audio and Ableton Link compatibility

Euclidean Sequencer is an alternative incarnation of the classic step sequencer that has become very popular in the modular realm. It is based on Euclidean rhythms developed by computer scientist Godfried Toussaint in 2004. Euclidean rhythms have their roots in Greek mathematician Euclid’s algorithm, which involves using the greatest common divisor of two numbers to place hits in a sequence as evenly as possible across a set timing divisions. In practice this is actually simpler than you might think, and Euclidean Sequencer is a great way to auto generate complex musical sequences with no prior knowledge of how it actually works. Euclidean Sequencer is an AUv3 plugin that can be loaded inside any popular host application that has flexible MIDI routing. You can define up to 4 Euclidean rhythm parts, each part is referred to as a band. The bands are labelled A-D and colour coded RED, ORANGE, GREEN and CYAN. Together these 4 bands create a pattern, and you can create up to 16 seperate patterns per song patch. Since each band can specify its own note sequence and output MIDI channel, you can create some quite sophisticated rythms patterns, driving 4 seperate instruments at once. Even better you can seamlessly switch patterns to create even longer evolving sequences. Patterns follow a specified key, scale, or defined chord. You can even use MIDI input to automatically make note sequences conform to the currently playing chords. Please note: This is an AUv3 plugin instended to be used inside your favourite host DAW such as AUM, Cubasis, Loopy Pro etc. It will work with any app that has flexible MIDI routing. This app is not compatible with GarageBand as it doesn't support MIDI plugins. Features 4 Band Sequencer 16 Patterns per patch. Up to 64 events per band. Seamless pattern transitions. Output Port and Channel control. Per Band and Global speeds. Randomize function with varying complexity. Supports note Probability. Reverse and PingPong modes. MIDI Chord recognition. Latch mode. 4 Band Velocity Mixer Controller support. Gate Mode. AUv3 Compatible.
