Excelentee

GfrancoM on

Ecuador

Mejor dólar que he gastado! Buen diseño, es bien fácil de usar y lleno de funciones con 40 tipos de sonidos. Increíble!

Really love this just hope you make it auv3 and work with midi

hyperfocusmusic on

United States

It has amazing sounds so not being auv I got it to think of it like hardware, but no midi sequencer has worked that I tried that has midi mapping for dm1. Even though it works for all the other midi mapping. Please update the app so it works with midi . Also If you made this auv it would truly become the most popular drum machine on iOS for many many people. Will update to. 5 stars once midi is fixed

Why did you change it?

Jonnie Axtell on

United States

I use this app for teaching… Guitar and bass. It used to default to the last pattern I wrote, which was useful… now it always goes to this “song,” and I have to go through a few more steps and rewrite my pattern. By default distortion is turned on… I don’t know if it just doesn’t make sense.

What a waste of time and money

Maria Bethania on

United States

The acoustic sounds are totally useless. Only 9 sounds at a time? And no even two samples per sound. This is literally a toy and it's advertised as a professional tool. MIDI control doesn't work every time you open the app. You have to go to Song>MIDI and then it works, every single time. Labels on the pads are nonsense and useless.

Bpm issues

SYLVESTERjr on

United States

Tap tempo is hard to use. But more importantly, I’m not sure the bpm metronome is accurate. I’ve tried to beat match it to other apps and I can’t get it to line up at all. Love the app tho, but That’s a big issue for me. Good luck. I’ll still keep using if I can find a work around. Thanks

Great drum machine

Guy frowny on

United States

Excellent collection of kits and sound. Plus you can build your own kits. Lots of options for sequencing and patterns. Built in fox and mixer make it great for composing on the sly. It’s not perfect. Can’t get the midi to work, but could be user /developers error. Who knows. Exporting midi and audio has been no problem. Not sure if it would be a live tool, but it also supports ableton sync so my thoughts could change. Even with shortcomings, use it more than any of my instruments because it’s so handy for working out ideas and just jamming along with the grooves. For the price, definitely worth every cent.

Improper time signature

jbomboy on

United States

Currently using iPad 5th Gen latest software. I've used this app for a few years, and it's always been fairly reliable. However recently, I try to setup a 5/4, or 3/4 time signature. And it continually sets up in 4/4. Which makes mapping out the beat quickly, a rather pain and headache.

What, a drum machine with no accidental deletes? Pfft

Codowlsky Polopumus on

United States

First time I can ever recall trying a new drum machine/beatbox and not walking away from the first session frustrated after spending a bunch of time, only to somehow accidentally deleting a part or a whole track (or dubbing over, etc) This is my favorite drum app on iOS by far. I’m a tad surprised I hadn’t found it before but I’m happy I found it now! Makes me feel like a fizzy soda

“Stay tuned” ? 😮

anickt on

United States

I like the sound of that! AUv3?? We can only hope! Decided to take a look again. I really liked it way back in the beginning. Then things went awry. Looks like it’s back on track. The kits are great and it feels right again. I say get it! If it was AUv3 it would be better but since it’s so easy to export I’ll take it. Definitely back on the keeper list. FX section messed up. Seems like they fix one thing and break something else that was working. Oh well…can't recommend as it is now. With the new update AudioCopy works like it's supposed to. Export to DropBox still opens DFX. Not perfect but I'm OK with it I guess. I like it otherwise. I want to love DM1 however it does not export properly. I can record into AudioShare by using AudioBus but exporting just doesn't work. When I try to export to Dropbox it opens the DFX app... you get the picture. Hope they fix it soon. I don't suggest buying this until they do.

So Much Potential, NO Consistency

Lowrenthighrise on

United States

This app could be amazing and is when it works. I get 2 different sounds when playing through the iPad speakers but then when I plug in a, eighth inch jack to lay down a simple beat in a demo, it completely changes, half the sounds disappear, and the other half perform for a fraction of a second or become nearly muted. It worked really well for a week but now it won’t work while plugged in. If you wanna just tap out some beats and play around, great, but trying to record anything with this is a complete waste of time.
