RECORD YOUR SESSIONS • Record your playing over the selected track with a dedicated Rec button. • Save multiple sessions for each song. • Start fresh, replace a take, or keep different versions of your performance. • Open the session list to review and load earlier recordings.

MIX AND EXPORT • Adjust drum and track levels independently in the Mixer window. • Export a full mix with drums and track together. • Export a drums only version when you want a clean percussion take. • Save your audio to your device or export it to other compatible apps.

MIDI PADS • Use all three taiko layouts as expressive MIDI pads. • Set MIDI output, channel, and note mapping for each layout. • Connect to your DAW or virtual instruments and trigger taiko sounds from your device.

DESIGNED FOR PLAYERS • Three responsive taiko layouts with clear visuals and expressive drum sounds. • Flam and Simple options let you shape how hits respond, and your choice is saved in each session. • Updated interface with quick access to Play Along, Mixer, MIDI settings, and About. • Rebuilt in modern Swift for improved stability and smoother future updates. • Designed for reliable audio playback during practice and performance.

This app produces zero sounds ... I am using an iPhone 6+ In the details of your app it says “compatible with this phone”. I have the sound on and the volume all the way up. Also, I turned the app volume to full. I tried all three kits the app offers in both one stick and two stick modes. Please help, I’d like to enjoy your creation as much as it seems others are.

Just downloaded for iPad and I do not see the Shime drum on the app. Am I missing something?
