Tako Kick vs Jungle Breaks

What if an octopus could play drums? Tako Kick is an eight-voice generative drum machine excelling in musical polyrhythms. Shape each voice independently, tuning its rhythm and sound across a range of synthesized kits. Build evolving grooves with pattern, density, pitch, accents, and feel controls. Explore each kit’s timbre, and add movement with built-in modulation sources. Keep rhythm and sound independent in each voice's left and right columns - change the timbre without affecting the beat, or change both at once. Performance controls allow interactive mixing/soloing/muting, and global control over drum assignments and pitch. Save and share complete presets to recall your rhythm, tuning, modulation, kit, and mix settings. Presets can be dynamically loaded for another element of in-time performance. Play Tako Kick standalone on iPhone and iPad, or load it as an AUv3 instrument in AUM and other compatible hosts. Sync to the host and use it with MIDI. Tako Kick is a tactile rhythm instrument for finding grooves. Use it to practice drums, get ideas, make beats, or just to have fun.

Jungle Breaks is a dual-scene live performance groovebox built as the mobile workflow for old-school jungle, drum 'n' bass, and breakcore music enthusiasts. Built as the powerful successor to the Amen Break Generator app, it expands on its original concepts by introducing MPC-style sampler pads, quantized pad loopers, and a comprehensive set of iconic samples: era-defining 1990s jungle breakbeats, chord pads and subbasses. The dual-scene layout allows to run two complete, independent 16-pad setups in parallel — 32 pads total — each with its own samples, effects, and snapshots. With this you can easily blend two arrangements, build transitions, or extend a set on the fly. The app features state-saving snapshots for instant performance recall and runs standalone or as a synchronized AUv3 plugin inside an iOS host DAW. Whether you're chopping the amen break on stage or building a session in the studio, Jungle Breaks keeps your hands on the sound instead of buried in menus. Key features: * Sampler playback modes: Choose between standard One-Shot Mode (with +/- 12 semitone tuning) and Sliced Mode, which auto-chops loops into user-defined clips. * Independent DSP Routing: Group individual pads into 4 color-coded sub-mixes, running each through an independent sequential chain of DSP effects. * Free-Play Mode — Jam over your samples with automatic tempo quantization, so live-triggered loops and effects always land on the beat (or lock to your host's MIDI clock as an AUv3). * 32-Step Live Loopers: Capture and overdub live taps across integrated 16 loopers with three distinct launch modes (Start on Tap, Start Immediately, and Count-In) with adjustable tempo (60-240 BPM). * Live loopers pattern editor: Edit your recorded midi events, step-by-step with 32-steps grid-style editor. * 16-Effect DSP Chain per Group — Every group runs its own independent signal chain of 16 tempo-synced effects, including a segment-shuffling Scrambler, a randomized-loop Juggler, a stutter Repeater, rhythmic Gater, Bitcrusher, Flanger, stereo Ping-Pong Delay, sweeping filters, vinyl-style Slowdown, and tempo-locked Reverse — 64 effect slots in total across all 4 groups. * Scene Snapshots: Store and recall 4 snapshot slots per scene on the fly to capture exact sample maps, active looper patterns, and effect parameters perfectly quantized to the global tempo. * Scene Snapshots — Capture your full pad, effect, and looper state into 4 instant-recall slots per scene, with automatic synced transitions between them. * Save & Load Scenes — Store and reload complete performance setups as files, and swap them live mid-set without interrupting playback. * AUv3 & MIDI Integration: Run natively or as an AUv3 plugin inside iOS host DAWs, utilizing full MIDI note maps for pad triggers, snapshot recalls, MIDI Transport, and dedicated scene stop/panic notes. * Import your own loops and one-shots samples. App accepts custom WAV files (16/24 bit, mono/stereo)
