Elastic Drums

This app works great on my iPad Mini 2 (iOS 12). But on the iPad 2020 (iOS 14) it is unusable. There’s a crackle/low noise on every drumsound. I hope it will soon receive an update, because it’s a great app. Update: I loaded Elastic Drums in Audiobus and the crackle disappeared. But standalone I still hear the crackle. Sample frequency issue? Update: The problem is not related to IOS14, but it is related to the newer iPads which operate at a samplerate of 48khz. The Audiobus audio engine switches to 48khz. But Elastic Drums standalone app doesn’t. That explains the crackle.

Very good.

Very good sounds, automation works flawless. Very easy to make some good techno vibes.

Very disturbing noise on low frequencies on my iPad Pro 2018. No other app running. Changing buffer size did not make any difference. I want my money back.

Seriously (i think!!) the best drum app for me........

Elastic Drums has always been a great app to sketch out idea's, or make weird sounds, and sample, resample them. But ... since the last update, and the sample import iAP, it is really a whole different beast. and you can have hours of fun on the ipad, even when your not in a studio environment. I recommend this app

They decided it was a good idea to treat customers to a new sampler that costs nearly $5. As an old customer I feel cheated. Who knows the next feature will also cost us money. When I buy an app for this money I expect new features to be free. This is just taking advantage of your customers.

awesome app! very elaborate and capable of a wide variety of interesting sounds. highly recommended!

This is one of my favorite grooveboxes, hardware or not, for the process of making variations on sounds and patterns. It’s super easy to make copies of things, so if you’re the kind of musician who’s always thinking “what if I did it that way instead?” you can really quickly build up a set of variations on a loop. Then you can instantaneously switch not just between patterns, but entire projects if you want while performing. (Also, each pattern in a project file can have a different sound set.). If only DAWs made it that easy to play live! The area I find this lacking is features that most hardware or software gives you to add variation to a sound, like LFOs or conditional triggers. You can record automation, but it’s always synced to the pattern, so it’s gonna sound like a loop. And there is a performance effects section with beat repeaters, stutters, and things like that, but it feels more intended for doing a flashy breakdown, not something that can keep on running on its own and add some life. There are some ways you can get around this, like make 2 copies of a track and set them to different lengths, but that will only get you so far, and then you’ve already used up 2 out of 6 tracks. So unfortunately it feels a little limited depending on what type of music/performance you’re into. If they added LFOs and made a desktop version I could probably get lost in this for a couple years though. It’s dead simple but the sounds are super nice and the workflow is just that great.

Using my AirPods, it sounds horrible. This is the same issue reported by others 4 years ago I believe. Hopefully this can be fixed - holding on buying devs other apps - I need to be able to use air pods in a pinch for iOS apps to make sense
