With Additive Drum Machine you can create drum beats using the concept of “additive rhythm” in combination with the sounds and ease of use of a traditional drum machine. Construct step sequences of any length and structure by the chaining of "long" and "short" beats. Then switch on and off individual steps to create a drum pattern. Whether used as a practice tool or composition sketchpad, its intuitive interface allows you to easily make drum patterns that use odd meters, symmetrical and asymmetrical rhythmic structures, and various subdivisions of the pulse. With Additive Drum Machine your musical imagination is the limit.
SinOscillators
Read full descriptionHide full description
SinOscillators is a strange synthesizer with nine oscillators. It uses a unique sine wave generation algorithm, resulting in sounds that are difficult to predict and control. Sometimes the sounds are noisy, sometimes eerie, but sometimes they're captivating enough to listen to for a long time. This app allows you to set and control the following: - Buffer: Size of audio buffer - Transition: Parameter transition time - Spread: Stereo sound spread - Volume: Overall volume - Shuffle: Randomly set oscillators to the same value - Clusterize: Set the oscillators to similar values - Harmonize: Adjust oscillators systematically - Mute: Temporarily silence oscillators - Slider: Set oscillator’s parameter lik a pitch - Button: Play or stop oscillators - Randomize: Randomly change parameters - Targets: The percentage of random parameter changes - Timer: Randomly change parameters at specified intervals

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: SinOscillators at every 3 months against Additive Drum Machine's every 15 months. Additive Drum Machine's advantage is price ($2.99 vs $3.99) and iOS requirement (14.5 vs 16.6). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
