## Review summary

SeekBeats Drum Machine Synth is praised for deep, tweakable eight-voice synthesis, strong randomization, and an intuitive workflow with great effects. Users highlight its non-sampled sound and inter-app compatibility. Recurrent drawbacks include lack of MIDI (MIDI in/CC), no AUv3, limited pattern sequencing (eight patterns, no song/pattern chain), and calls for more frequent updates and new features.

### Pros

- Deep, tweakable eight-voice drum synthesis with the ability to synthesize sounds from scratch (no samples).
- Intuitive, easy-to-use interface that invites experimentation (sketch pad turned instrument).
- Excellent effects board with extensive, flexible processing.
- Easy to send beats to other apps and good interoperability with other apps.

### Cons

- Lack of MIDI control / no MIDI in, CC, or learn features.
- No AUv3 support (AUv3 is a commonly requested feature).
- Limited pattern sequencing with only eight patterns and no pattern chain or song mode.
- Requests for more frequent updates and ongoing development cited by users.
