Elastic Drums

Sounds plus jam section make it special,still trying to get it to work with my Korg nano mixer,mind you if the were to make a simple and not too expensive midi device for it ,I’d be up for it.It’s that good.

Great app, easy to play with and unlikely to crash. Manual could be better as regards midi implementation . Maybe recommend leads required to break out through lightening port to other devices. I’m using ‘headphone out’ to a PA, is it possible to have midi sync and digital out from the lightening port?. Luckily lots of independent YouTube help available.

Best app I’ve ever used full stop

Hello. I love this app. Its flexible, fun to play, and a powerful musical tool. The main thing i think could be reworked is in the arrange section/song mode/chaining If these areas were improved this app would be the perfect drum solution for me. Ideas for improvement: Either Multiple looped sections rather than the one main loop which can change length by multiples of 4. Or the Ability to chain sequence loops together manually. Look to the keystep pro chaining for inspiration. Either of these would create a far more useable drum solution for multiple use cases. (Ie. Live) Also Setting to queue patterns rather than change instantly where playback is at could also aid in live performance settings. Maybe long press functionality…?

Great app with lots of fun sound design tools but boy is it hard to get audio from this in 2024 without auv3 support. Sure, I could AUM or Audiobus it, but given its sister app has this features and is at the same price point, it would be a welcomed quality of life improvement.

While there are numerous drum machine apps - this one is spectacular. If sound options ranging from sample to various types of synthesis, to independent beat cycle lengths doesnt grab your attention, surely the ability to perform the playback switching in real-time will! There’s plenty more fun to be had here.

Every time I open this app, it doesn’t play. Not on the ipad or iphone. Always have to erase it & redownload it to get it to work properly.

There’s nothing else out there that comes close to Elastic as a total package; one could easily compose entire tunes with nothing else, and I often find myself wishing other apps had just a few of the features it boasts. However… While I know there are workarounds, the lack of AUv3 integration in a world that forgets IAA a little more every year - especially in terms of hosting DAWs - means that it gets used less and less all the time in favor of other apps and combinations thereof. Developer: PLEASE don’t let this one fall into obsolescence.

I have been using elastic drums from day one, and I love it still. I really enjoy the workflow and design, it’s very appropriate for the way I think about some drum sound design. I do have a problem for the past couple of years though, inter app audio is not very consistent, buggy, crashes and generally does not play nice with Cubasis (which I use about 99% of the time). It’s not a elastic drums issue, it’s an inter app audio issue. It happens with all other apps that use inter app audio. I’m at the point that I just won’t use apps that only use inter app audio. I would love to dive back into using elastic drums, but every single time I use elastic drums I have a crash before I get to render anything. This may have something to do with the fact that I really push the cpu on my mixes, but with AU3’s I generally don’t loose much data when I have a crash, and with au3’s crashes happen way less frequently. Freezing tracks with inter app audio doesn’t help, and I try simply rendering elastic drums tracks outside of using cubasis, but it makes it difficult to easily make changes to a things if I have to render, export and then import for each and every change. It’s a big hassle that kind of gets in the way of using the app/flow. Again I don’t think it has anything to do with the way the app is made. Elastic apps are rock solid. Inter app audio is not rock solid and really is making its way out. Hopefully other developers will see this and convert their apps to au3 primarily.

I enjoyed this a lot when it came out, but it fell to the wayside when I started using Aum and DAWs. I just bought the new plugin from the developer, I’m hoping that since that is auv3, this one may become auv3 too. I’d still say its worth the money without it, its unique and fun.
