"I have plenty of music apps...synths, DAWs, sequencers, beat boxes, effects, drum machines...you name it, but Different Drummer has been the MOST used of all of them."
by Sattech27
This is your secret weapon in the quest for innovative beats and music that make sense yet defy the status quo. Different Drummer taps into the primal source of all rhythm—waves. DD puts out multi-track music which is lifelike and primal at times and out of this world at others. It's a rhythmic music synthesizer that uses waves to play any sound in astonishing ways that vary from electro to dubstep to tribal to classical.
This software was created with music in mind—but in the spirit of discovering what is next in music, not just finding a new way to do the same thing like so many music apps do so well. If you are a pioneer or care about where music is going, this app is for you.
Easy to start learning, always discovering more. Adjust note, rest, tie, panning, beat and dynamics waves for the ultimate range of expression. You will never exhaust the endless possibilities of Different Drummer and you are guaranteed to discover legit beats that no one has ever heard before.
No matter how many apps you have...not having Different Drummer is a loss. To not possess this musical wonder is committing a Groove Crime in your studio or live setup!

This kind of developers ask you to take a moment to review their Apps... But they never take a moment to answer to our emails... So this is my review and rating 0 Answer to the developer: Perhaps that I used another email... Sure...

BUG ridden FRUSTRATING app

Karel.S on

France

I used to like this app, using it by itself. As time goes by, bugs and problems are piling up, NONE of which ever get fixed. The internal recording doesn’t work. It comes to a grinding halt with a big noise, (records for 1 second and freezes). I have the length set to 4 bars auto recording. MIDI doesn’t work, impossible to sync to transport (or anything) for that matter in AUM! App freezes and becomes unresponsive. LINK doesn’t seem to work either. (It’s out of sync) It doesn’t “see” AU apps. LOL What’s the point of having all the features when the BASICS don’t work? App freezes when adjusting settings (sometimes followed by crash) and none of the MIDI/LINK settings seem to do anything. I use it with one other app to record midi out. Total waste of time to get it working.

Fantastic tool !

Spécial plantage et perte de travail.

Mattam1212 on

France

App plutôt compliquée, dans le genre prétentieuse, mais très complète, toute les pistes sont gérées par des lfo qu'on dessine et découpe à volonté. Dommage que l'iPad pro n'est pas pris en charge. De plus depuis la dernière mal j'ai perdu tout mes templates, mes échantillons et tout mon travail. Il n'y a même plus de démos, que les trucs utilisateurs à télécharger. Ça plante lamentablement sans raisons, très énervant et impossible à gérer en l'état = poubelle

Compliquéeeeee

Zyclif on

Que celui qui comprend quelque chose a cette appli .. Lève le doigt.. On sent un potentiel pourtant , mais c'est pas du tout intuitif. Dommage..

"Créativement" géniale !

dp_iApps on

France

Cette app est géniale. Elle change la façon de faire de la musique en apportant un côté ludique et parfois inattendu sur les résultats obtenus qui restent toujours très musicaux. Le fait de pouvoir piloter d'autres app en midi est aussi vraiment excellent... Bien plus créatif qu'un simple séquenceur. Il y a pas mal de points qui pourraient/pourront être améliorés, et le dev en est conscient et bosse en proposant de régulières mises-à-jour tout en étant très à l'écoute des utilisateurs. Il faut encourager ce genre de projets... Un vrai plaisir que vous ne regretterez pas !

Deliriously Amazing

Kudos to this developer...this app is a major experimental tour de force. I kid you not. This is crazy versatile when you get a grip on what you can achieve with this. The big cornucopia of sounds is awesome, but you can also import your own soundbites! No probs when I brought in the 24/48’s. Access to Audioshare is in there. You can set up a bunch of short soundbites in AS, go into the wave section of DD, click the plus sign and choose/import/choose/import... ad infinitum. Clean sounding, no detected glitch. Variable-pass for each track right up in the front interface is so cool. You can push the sound in each of the tracks through filter and distortion. Randomization! Highly configurable. I haven’t checked on midi configurations yet, but it’s probably going to be a friggin blast. Granted, the interface is slightly difficult to navigate, but there’s so much capability jam-packed in this, that imho there’s no easy way to arrange the visual elements. Read the manual while groking what’s going on, because it will definitely guide you well. Keep experimenting with DD...you’ll be glad you expended a few brain cells getting there.

Excellent App, please bring AUv3 support.

Still doesnt handle midi well after all these years of development

Grey Fortress on

United States

Strange that there’s been a ton of updates over the years, but still no fix for hanging midi notes when using automation. I want to love this app and it has so much potential. Glad to see its still being serviced, but sad the midi is useless for me.
