User Reviews
Pros
- Easy to use and intuitive UI with a simple, approachable workflow
- Excellent sounds with a broad library of presets and the ability to import your own samples
- Powerful pattern-based sequencer with easy pattern creation, auto-quantize, and strong live performance capability (Ableton Link compatibility)
- Strong cross-app integration (AUv3/MIDI/Audiobus) for a cohesive iOS music setup
- Great value with flexible pricing options (monthly, yearly, or outright purchase)
Cons
- Missing ADSR/envelope control for shaping sounds (a commonly requested feature)
- Lack of 3D Touch/velocity-related enhancements on some devices (frequently suggested)
- Requests for MIDI learn functionality to map hardware controllers more easily

For .99 cents a month or 5 bucks a year this app I highly recommend this simple drum sampler.

Hi,
I love the software. I have the ideas and wish if you can develop adding to the next version for the drummer that can be able to control the sequence pattern loop (percussion add-in) while playing on the acoustic drum-set:
1. Option of small or BIGGER size for Play/Stop button. Like me i would select bigger button so when i play on my drumset, i can use the left hand to tap play/stop without miss hitting the button. (Current one is to tiny on top and missed tapping it while playing on my drum set)
2. I know i can also create a rhythm loop then import to assign on a certain pad to have it loop playing (trigger mode). For this when setup for the pad currently, i can increase the pitch higher, this will also increase the tempo/speed. If you can add the option here to have both Pitch and tempo fader separately so we can increase/decrease the tempo without changing pitch.
3. Along with option 2. Pitch fader should have the number shows up or down, so we would know how many keys we can transpose easily.
I m looking forward to these new features for the future. Thank you!

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.
