Read full description

Become a drummer, just with your fingertips. Plug in headphones and leave the bulky drum kit behind. Play real drums silently, even late at night. FingerDrumPad is a second drum kit that fits in the palm of your hand. ■ Total freedom in pad shape and placement Pads are free-form polygons with 3 to 10 vertices, placeable anywhere on screen. Make the kick large and round, the snare wide and horizontal, the hi-hat small and compact. Create as many original kits as you like, tailored to your own hands. ■ A practice mode that accelerates your progress Every hit is judged in real time. Detailed feedback — Perfect / Good / Early / Late — plus combos, scores, and ranks (S–D) turns daily practice into something you'll look forward to. Your timing habits are visualized as a heatmap, with per-pad statistics and a "pad to focus on next" suggestion. Daily streaks and weekly summaries keep your motivation going. Includes 100+ charts across 10 genres — rock, pop, funk, jazz, Latin, reggae, and more. Start free with the Basic charts. ■ A step sequencer that builds patterns and exports to your DAW Assemble rhythm patterns on 16th- and 32nd-note grids. Odd time signatures like 3/4, 5/4, and 7/4 are supported too. Send your patterns to Practice mode to play them, or export them as MIDI files to take into your DAW. ■ Expand your sound endlessly Load your favorite SF2 SoundFont and use it as an entire kit. Sounds matching the GM standard get the right colors and names automatically, so a brand-new kit takes seconds. Assign any AUv3 instrument plugin to a pad to turn FingerDrumPad into the ultimate touch instrument. A built-in scanner detects which notes actually produce sound, so you'll never guess which note to pick. ■ Packed with thoughtful details ・Multi-touch for both hands at once, plus choke by holding a cymbal pad ・Touch velocity that senses how hard you hit (with per-finger calibration) ・Haptic feedback you can feel with every hit ・Metronome supporting 40–200 BPM and 1–12 beats per measure ・Ensemble mode that plays along to songs from your music library (change playback speed from 50–100% while preserving pitch) ・An interactive tutorial so you'll never feel lost ・Custom drum maps you can register for MIDI modules like Roland and Yamaha ・In-app help via the "?" button on every screen ■ Private by design Crash reporting is off by default. Nothing is sent unless you explicitly opt in. Your practice history and settings stay on your device. ■ Unlock everything with Pro A single one-time purchase lifts the limits on kits and patterns you can save, and unlocks all 100+ charts across 10 genres, SF2 SoundFont import, and AUv3 plugins. No subscription. Plug in your headphones and start drumming with your fingertips today.

AFTERTASTE

音を指で押しつぶして壊すアプリです。 画面の四角(CHEW)を指で押さえている間だけ、鳴っている音がぐちゃぐちゃに壊れます。離せば元の音に戻ります。それだけのアプリです。 まずはMENUのDEMOをタップしてビートを鳴らし、CHEWを押さえてみてください。指を動かすと壊れ方が変わります。 ・下にフリック → テープが止まるみたいに減速して止まる ・左右にフリック → 逆再生・順再生が切り替わる ・2本指でつまむ → 刻む長さが変わる ・押さえたまま傾ける → 音が腐ったり焦げたりする ・スマホを振る → 一瞬暴走する ・ひっくり返す → 逆再生になる 音源は4つから選べます。 ・DEMO:内蔵のビート ・FILE:スマホに入っている曲 ・MIC:マイクの音をそのまま ・SMPL:今鳴っている音を録音してループにする(録音中もCHEWで壊せます) 壊した音はそのままWAVで保存して、他のアプリに送れます。 広告なし、課金なしの無料アプリです。
