SKIIID is a new drum-synthesizer with 4 expressive pads and the possibility to morph between them. With its randomisation feature you can create unique effects and lo-fi drum-sounds quickly. On top of that we’ve added a fun sequencer. But don’t expect a highly accurate clockwork drum-machine, this synth is “dirty and alive"
Features:
- Sub-Fm-Oscillator
- Morphing SAUCE WAVE Oscillator (adds some additional SAUCE/MEAT to your drumsound)
- Morphing NOISE Oscillator (adds dusty and crackly imperfections)
- Velocity along the vertical axis of all drum-pads
- Note pitch and fine-tuning
- Amplitude and Pitch Envelopes
- Ladder filter with highpass
- Bitcrusher, distortion and resonator - effects
- Randomization for single drum-pads and sequencer. Randomization can be switched on and off for all parameters.
- Ableton Link Support
- Drone Mode
- AUv3 - Support
- Audiobus and IAA - Support
- Midi In
- Iphone - Support

This was great! Easy five stars! Needs an update nowadays!
Love this app but hadn’t used it in a bit. Just opened it up and it definitely needs an update. Do an IAP! I’d purchase in a heartbeat.
This was cool in the first place! Recent updates make it awesome! Nice combination of random and programmed sounds! 😎👍🏼👍🏼
Wastes 20% of iPhone 12 display
Making it impossible to see and play.
app was the best until iOS 16
the app has multiple modes, and you can easily bounce between the three and really utilize this app by itself as a peformance level drum synth.
unless you upgrade to an iphone 13 from iphone 11 and are using iOS 16. once that happens you lose the ability to leave the first mode, rendering the drone and sequencer as well as all of their features unusable. this is a bummer. i will go back to five stars if they update and fix this issue.
Sound great
Sounds great but midi implementation is not good. No midi cc. No way to change midi channel. No way to change midi notes. And you can’t trigger more than one sound at a time even if you load 2 instances in AUM.
Favorite iOS percussion synth
So innovative and weird but still easy to dial in to taste. Please make more apps!
Amazing app but seriously needs midi and sequencer update
Update - prior to the developer response I figured out how to send midi. Can't remember the issue, although I still wish I could specify midi channel. I've been sending notes from digitakt to aum and I specify limiting this app to a specification midi channel in aum. Anyway it's a great sound design tool and I hope it's expanded upon - whether this app itself or maybe some future deluxe version or something. not enough unique drum sound design tools on ios for my taste. so this is nice
So first of all - amazing app for the price. Anyone considering it, just go find a demo video and you'll be sold.
However... The sequencer is frustratingly limited. You can choose to have between 1 and 16 steps but that's as advanced as it gets.
I'd like to see up to 64 steps in the sequencer, probability per step, and a "retrigger" option.
Thanks a ton for reading this, developer. Look forward to updates and future drum design apps
Innovative and deep
Wow. Truly this is one of the rare artifacts recovered from the alien world. I can’t wait to see where this goes.
How does the AU midi work? Tried in cubasis but the GUI never showed up and I couldn’t get it to play any sound.
Works great in nanostudio2.
Very much love this thing. Would love to see some manual and good docs!
For grimy sound manglers
Sick and slimy beats that you can morph and mangle like a wizard. Parameter locks are in here as are high quality randomization options. This a
Is a synth drum and drone mode is very obtuse.
Wonderful morphing droning percussive sounds
So, the good stuff... the four instruments are incredibly expressive and easy to shape. Within a single pad, you have a wide range of sound possibilities depending on how you set parameters across the width of each pad. Everything is on one page, so you can readily see how your sound is made and where morphing takes each of your sound’s parameters. Very intuitive!
The bad stuff... not to much to say here. You have to play around a bit to get some good sounds. With a little time and effort, any you’ll start to see how powerful this instrument can be in a live setting as well as within daw arrangements.
Crashing frequently
iPad Pro 11.5 running iOS 13.5.1
Example: click first step in sequence, click folder to load a sound, click factory sound bd 02. Crashes 100%.
It’s unclear if the pads are supposed to animate all the way to the top of the pad or if that’s a UI issue on iPad Pro?
A real-time recording option would be nice.
