User Reviews

Patterning for iPhone is praised for its MIDI connectivity and DAW integration, an intuitive UI that encourages creativity, and solid value with a free-to-try model and affordable full version. Users love the responsive, unique drum-sequencing approach and per-track timing controls. Common drawbacks include a 16-step limitation that hampers longer loops, lack of sample import and user kit creation, and concerns about upgrade pricing and missing advanced features (AUv3/IAA, multi-out) with requests for 32-step support and more. Some report ads after reinstall.
Pros
  • MIDI integration with external gear and DAWs (e.g., MIDI clock to Eurorack; solid DAW compatibility)
  • Intuitive, creative UI that encourages experimentation and deep control (per-track time signatures, velocity editing, ratcheting)
  • Strong save/export workflow to DAWs and easy pattern saving/exporting (Ableton export)
  • Good value: free to start with unlimited kits and an affordable full version
  • Fun, unique drum sequencing approach that feels natural and engaging
Cons
  • 16-step pattern limit restricts longer loops and complex patterns
  • No sample import or ability to create custom kits (no user kits)
  • Perceived upgrade/value concerns related to Patterning 2 to 3 pricing and cross-device differences
  • Ads appearing after re-downloading for some users
  • Missing advanced integrations (AUv3/IAA, multi-out) and requests for 32-step support

I left my iPad at work. Good thing I have my phone to deliver beats and midi clock to my eurorack.

I guess it was about a year that I had Patterning 2 before Patterning 3 was out and all updates for 2 went legacy. There are things that my fellow Washington people did to mitigate this little bit of “not getting what you paid for and feeling like $39.99 for Patterning 3 is is way different than $9.99 for Patterning 2” … like there better be an air fryer or a free Spotify sub and not just the iPhone version to run on your iPad (pro - it’s awkward and feels weird, although the midi functioning is awesome - I guess it just feels like I’ve been ripped off for $39.99 - $9.99 =$30.00… and that’s a lot of app purchasing power that could be spent in many ways.

I opened this app 3 times after redownloading it to be greeted by ads. I won’t be using it again or purchasing other apps by this developer.
