Tako Kick vs PerformerClick

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.

PerformerClick is a programmable metronome built for rehearsals, complex arrangements, and reliable live performance. Save every song with its tempo, meter, and beat grouping. Organize songs into projects and ordered setlists. For arrangements that need more than one steady click, program tempo changes, pauses, meter changes, and transitions in advance. On stage, PerformerClick presents the current and upcoming events in a clear performance view, allowing you to concentrate on playing instead of operating the metronome. FEATURES • Save songs with tempo, meter, and beat grouping • Create projects and ordered setlists • Program tempo and meter changes • Add pauses and choose how sections transition • Use odd meters and custom beat groupings • Follow all programmed events in Performance Mode • Reorder setlists quickly before a performance • Import and export projects for backup and transfer • Works completely offline • No account, advertising, analytics, or tracking For timing-critical live performance, a wired audio connection or USB audio interface is recommended. Bluetooth audio introduces unavoidable latency.
