## Description

Rassel – Pocket Shaker turns your iPhone into a compact percussion instrument. Pick up the device and shake to play four built‑in sounds: Egg, Shaker, Tambourine, and Bells. Swipe to switch between them and create dynamic rhythms.

Its unique audio rendering engine models continuous velocity changes as you move the device. The gyroscope directly maps to this velocity, delivering a lifelike response that mimics real instruments, with options for loose, normal, or tight settings and a loudness boost to punch through your mix.

## Review summary

Rassel delivers a remarkably realistic, low-latency shaker experience that many users liken to a real instrument. Reviewers praise its responsive articulation and the feel of the four voices (egg, shaker, bells, tambourine). The app is described as easy, fun, and clean, with high-quality sound and a free, unobtrusive interface. A common request is AUv3/IAA plugin hosting and routing to other apps, plus more percussion sounds beyond the current four. A few users report compatibility issues, but overall sentiment is highly positive.

### Pros

- Realistic, low-latency shaker feel with responsive articulation.
- Fun and easy-to-use experience that is enjoyable to play.
- High-quality sound design with convincing articulation across voices (egg, shaker, bells, tambourine).
- Built-in instrument variety with four voices and quick switching between them.
- Clean, unobtrusive interface and free, accessible experience.

### Cons

- Missing AUv3/IAA plugin support and audio routing to other apps.
- Desire for more percussion sounds beyond the current four voices.
- Limited built-in instrument set; users want non-traditional sounds (e.g., hi-hat, triangle).
