G.ROUND vs Little Drum Machine

G.ROUND is a generative performance instrument built for musicians who want to create grooves, chord progressions, basslines, and evolving synth textures from one expressive interface. At the center of G.ROUND are two harmonic wheels: choose a chord, shape its color, change its mode, and instantly turn musical ideas into playable progressions. Every engine follows the other: drums, bass, synth, arpeggiator, recorder, and MIDI output stay locked together while you perform. Build a beat with the drum sequencer, design each drum voice with layered synthesis and modulation, generate basslines that follow your harmony, then shape a four-voice synth with oscillator, filter, envelopes, glide, LFO, delay, reverb, and advanced voicing controls. G.ROUND is not just a sequencer. It is an instrument that reacts to harmony. Record a chord performance, edit it as musical information, then keep changing the sound around it. Swap drum patterns, reshape the bass, alter the synth, enable the arpeggiator, change presets, or send MIDI to external gear without losing the progression that started the idea. Features: • Dual-wheel harmonic performance interface • Chromatic and diatonic chord control • Chord extensions, harmonic colors, and “Nerd Mode” options • Four-voice polyphonic synth engine • Arpeggiator with multiple rates, swing, gate, octave range, chord patterns, and variation • Monophonic bass synth with root, pattern, walking, melodic, acid, riff, and blues-style behaviors • Drum sequencer with kick, snare, and hi-hat lanes • Two-layer drum voice design with oscillator/noise, envelopes, filter, tone, and level controls • Per-drum modulation synced to tempo or free-running in Hz • Harmonic performance recorder with bar-synced recording and playback • Detailed MIDI track editor for recorded chord progressions • Up to 99 complete session presets • Global mixer with synth, bass, drums, and master volume control • Delay and reverb for synth textures • Voice-leading, strumming, modulation, and pitch-bend performance controls • MIDI output via cable, Bluetooth MIDI, IDAM, and CoreMIDI destinations • Multiple visual themes and adjustable internal sample rate Whether you are sketching a new track, exploring harmony, designing electronic grooves, or controlling external instruments, G.ROUND gives you a fast, tactile way to turn one gesture into a complete musical system. Start with a chord. Let the machine move. Shape everything.

Little Drum Machine is what the name says: a drum machine for your iPad. Easy to use, with all the necessary bits to give you fast results. We wanted something fast and simple to work with in our own studio, without the complexity other tools often bring, so we built it. Now we want to share it with you, for free. Tap a beat into the 16-step grid, drag up or down for velocity, add a little swing, and you have a groove. Start from one of 31 genre presets, or hit Randomize when you'd rather not face a blank grid. Make sound your way: use the built-in kits, load your own samples, or send MIDI and let your favourite synths and drum apps do the talking. Features: • 16-step drum grid with 8 lanes and per-step velocity for accents and ghost notes • 32 samples across 8 drums included: four variants each, swappable per lane or even per step • Load your own samples and build your own kits • Shape every sample: pitch, fine tune, volume, and a start/attack/length/decay envelope • Delay, reverb and drive effects with per-drum sends: 4 delay modes, 7 reverb modes, 5 drive characters • Give any lane its own step count and loop length for polyrhythms and polymeters • Musical Randomize for instant grooves; Mutate to create variations of your patterns • 16 scenes per preset, chained into full arrangements in the Arranger • Built-in mixer with per-lane EQ, panning, mute and solo • Master EQ and a glue compressor with attack, release, ratio and parallel mix • Swing to get groovy • MIDI out to trigger external synths and drum apps • 31 genre presets: Techno, House, Hip Hop, Drum & Bass, Jazz, and more • Save and manage your own presets • Light and dark themes • Little Drum Machine runs on its own or as an AUv3 instrument in any suitable host.
