SDS-x — Simple Drum Sampler

I think this is often overlooked and underrated drum machine. I love the sounds out of the box and the ability to control them. Everything is at your finger tips. There is quality, versatility, control over the sound, compatibility (auv3) and stability.

Thanks for a very good and fun to use app. Is it possible to open an init kit without any patterns selected vs deleting the ones in the default kit? Keep up the great work!

More useful than it may appear at first (I was initially put off by the colorful pads, which makes it look like a toy), but I found it quite useful for the variety of drum kits it has and the available modification options. My big ask for the developer: Please bring this to macOS (desktop) for M1 Macs. My workflow involves developing rough ideas on iPad Pro, then finaling on desktop and there are no fast and easy replacements for this app. Being able to use this as an AU plugin would be a tremendous timesaver. Thanks!

At first I thought “do I need another drum app?” Well, 10 minutes into it I realized this is the most fun drum app out there. The great presets and simple pattern programming make it easy to get into, and the deep customization options make it a product worth learning and tinkering with. Get it, it’s useful and fun!

Follow-up - it’s still awesome! Use factory samples or import your own and play them back. That’s all I was looking for. Simple good sounding filter, delay and verb. I’m all in on this one! What’s it need? Not much IMHO! I’d like to see reverse sample play (unless I missed it) and AUv3 capability so I can host it without worrying about IAA going away.

I definitely love SDS-x, it’s clean and clear. You can see everything you need to on one screen. It’s easy to import samples and create kits. The presets are pretty good too. It’s easy to use, sounds great, and fits great into any iOS music setup. 5 stars.

This is one of those apps where I’m surprised it doesn’t get mentioned more often. Definitely one of my favorite drum machine/sampler apps. The layout is great, the sounds are great, and actually everything is pretty great.

Absolutely love this app. Simple but deep in features.

I am amazed at this apps ability to create music so quickly! The sequencer is very easy to use and if you want to play the pads it auto quantizes. So whether your an experienced beat maker or no nothing about music, you can be creating in seconds! The Ableton Link feature is 🔥. It’s the 2021 version of a drum circle where everyone can be linked and create a groove and music. This app is a must have if you’re a creative or just love music!

You guys nailed it. Such a simple, intuitive workflow and most importantly for me, super high fun factor. Killer internal kits but I was quick to get my own hits and sounds imported into SDS without any issues. Man, good work on this. Loving creating with it a ton. Maybe midi learn and an amplitude envelope is in store for future updates? Can’t think of much more to add to it. Awesome!
