Auto drum machine
Read full descriptionHide full description
Auto Drum Machine is unique, because it has sound variations for snares, kicks, hi-hats, percussion, claps and snaps. Also Auto Drum Machine offers a user three different UI themes to chose from. The drum machine has tempo settings(bpm, beats per minute). I've made this app paid, because I don't like to watch Ads in the apps, also a child who uses your mobile device is safe when you buy a paid app, because you know for sure the child will not proceed with an expensive in-app purchase or will not be redirected to an ad. I created the drum machine for myself in the first place. The goal of auto drum machine is too me beginner-friendly. It has great sounds and audio. It offers enough configurations for new and experienced musicians. Also it saves the drum machine grid changes on every click, so your work is auto-saved for you by every click. Please buy my drum machine and leave a feedback. I hope this app will serve you well for a long time.

Pathfinder Sketch turns your phone into a hands-on controller for the free Pathfinder plugin running on your computer โ and a full playable instrument on its own. Draw a path across a living field of glowing spheres and Pathfinder plays every sound it crosses. Pass the phone around the room and up to four people jam together on the same field, each drawing their own line in their own color. NO COMPUTER? NO PROBLEM. Tap "Try the Demo" for a complete, playable session that runs entirely on your phone โ a real drum kit scattered across the field, ready to draw through. It's the whole idea in your hand, free, with nothing to install. WITH THE FREE PATHFINDER PLUGIN: - Pair in seconds by scanning the on-screen QR code, or tap your computer from the list of sessions on your network. - Draw paths to play the plugin's field live from your phone. - Up to four players share one session โ first come, first served, with spectators promoted into open slots automatically. - Monitor the mix through your phone with headphones, streamed low-latency over your own Wi-Fi. - Everything musical stays on your local network. Nothing about your sessions is sent anywhere. TRY FREE, THEN UNLOCK: Sketch is free to download and comes with a 7-day trial of the full performance suite. A one-time Pro unlock ($19.99, no subscription) keeps arp and gate, scenes, TURNS mode, and unlimited patterns โ and it's shared with your whole Family Sharing group. Get the free Pathfinder plugin for macOS and Windows at audiotechhub.com. No accounts. No ads. Your jam never leaves your own network.

Verdict
