Description

Pure Acid is a top quality bassline synthesizer and drum machine in one app! Inspired by classic hardware bassline synthesizers and rhythm machines, which changed musical world back in 80's, like the legendary TB-303 synthesizer, TR-808 / 707 / 909 rhythm boxes and their numerous replicas, Pure Acid is designed to bring back the feeling of retro analog gear in every detail in terms of sound, as well as to provide new functions previously unavailable in the original devices to make your music creation workflow fast and fun! A large number of factory preset patterns will immerse you into an exciting world of Acid House, Techno, Hardcore and Big Beat music genres, which will inspire you to create your own basslines and rhythms for your compositions!

Its bassline editing system and randomization options will be handy to create unique groovy basslines easily. Realtime master effects with XY-pad controls can add expression to your live performance.

Great sounding virtual analog models faithful to the classic Roland 303 and drum machines we all know and love. Some Bonus Effects pedals, a devilfish distortion style mod on the 303 and a cleanly transparent master limiter. Techno Time! Слава Україні!

Great music tool!

Wonderful sound and easy to use !

Screen issues

Love the app ! Can you please adjust your app so it will fit properly apple new iPads , on my new iPad mini app is loading with black borders on the sides. Would love to see true full screen on all current iPads please. Love all your apps.

Face Melting

Pure Acid is the best ACID APP HANDS DOWN! I have them all and it blows the others to pieces. It’s BASS SYNTH is so grimy and a proper revamping of the 303. It’s SEQUENCER is built for acid but can be used to sequence any synth you send to it ( I especially love it for slap bass). As an added bonus you get DRUMS, FX, and a sweet mixer section. Pure acid plays so nicely with other auv3’s you don’t even have to use it for anything traditionally acid, throwing LFOs on any parameters gives you experimental bliss. It’s just one of those apps that feel like you got more than what you paid for!

Powerful, Beautiful, Fun

Accurate sound; comparing some of the many factory presets with their original 303 parts was surprising in the best way. The added 808 drum kit is awesome, too. But the sequencer? Vastly improved when compared to the 303. The sequencing screen that elegantly displays your pattern and offers new tweaks like reversing the pattern, all while staying faithful to the classic input controls—it means I’ve had more fun sequencing in this app than I’ve had on most others.

Another masterpiece

So much fun with incredible sounds and ways to tweak. I can spend hours creating stuff. It's easy once you get used to the intuitive interface. It took me about an hour to know how to do everything. And it's fun learning because you are surprised at how much you can change things. This guy is a great developer. He only makes great apps, no crap allowed. And the apps are solid. Bugs are rare.

5ive Star

This app is forkin’ unbelievable...some might even call it the funky devil...POISON 202, GR 16, and PURE ACID...gifts from beyond⚡️

A good start

Nice sound. Looking forward to AU and AU automation. Better yet would be internal automation.
