Play drums along the incoming notes on the highway — time your hits to the lane markers and score big! Bring your own songs: this app supports Pro-Drums, 4-Lane and 5-Lane files that are widely used in the rhythm game community (notes.mid, song.ini, song.ogg in a folder, plus .chart files). Drag and drop those file folders into the app folder to play along and practice your grooves and fills! Enjoy an ultra-easy song menu: Our menu is built for speed. After loading, all your songs are instantly displayed. Scroll, filter, and sort the list, then simply tap once on a track to start playing. Activate Auto-Play for a continuous groove - after finishing a song the next song is automatically loaded. No complicated menus! Connect your e-Drumkit with your iPhone or iPads using a USB adapter. The app automatically detects class-compliant USB-MIDI eDrum kits. Via the Settings menu you can create or update the MIDI Mapping to assign each pad or cymbal of your e-drum kit to a lane or symbol in the game — fully customizable! During play you can use the buttons at the top to pause / play, restart, toggle the highway on/off, increase/decrease the speed or add the song to your favorites list. The A-B Loop button lets you repeat a selected section of a song or audio track. Press it once to set the start point ("A") and again to set the end point ("B"). The audio and notes will then loop continuously between those points until you stop or press the button a third time to clear the loop. Great for practice! Support for Multitrack songs: include separate audio tracks for each instrument and vocal part, such as drums, bass, guitar, and vocals. While playing a multitrack song, you can use the multitrack controls to turn individual instruments or vocals on or off, letting you customize the mix to your liking. Build custom playlists: Tap the Plus button to create one and easily add your imported songs. Play through your entire custom song list with a single button press.
