iPhone: love patterning and all the great free kits.
First off- it’s a drum sampler with unique controls, no auv3, and zipped audio exports (lol) but still- it’s free and a blast to play with. patterning 2 on iPad is better, but it’s also not free. Have an iPhone? Download patterning, draw various circles for each drum part, click on pencil, tweak parameters the same way, by filling each drum part- the more color you paint, the more Aggro the sound, less color you paint, the duller it gets. Now hit randomize!!!!!!!!!
My favorite drum controller
I love this UI. It’s inspired creativity and promotes velocity variation which adds to a natural vibe. I am using it wirelessly with my macbook for composition. This means I have the wolds best controller sending midi into my daw, driving my favorite drum vsts.
So fun
This approach to a drum machine is so natural and fun. Great job developers
