Here are my experiences with other apps thus far: Apparently its MIDI is problematic with many apps? I only worry about LoopyHD.No Sample "editing" - there's a length, but not like a waveform you can select through.It is stupidly easy to accidentally save over a completed project - the "file management" portion of songs n' such is pretty simple and borderline non-extant.Only has 9 sounds at a time, not a more, er, "contemporary" 16.No triplet/tuplet/glitch-subsubdivision functions.So that's what I love about it - program is logically divided up into four views: pads/grid/mixer/FX but it ain't perfect /yet/ - A few gripes: A Warp/random function which can quickly be undone.2 XY-Pad FX controllers, both of which can record automation.The ability to change and load in ones own samples and create custom kits from a variety of sources.A Dedicated "Mixer" which includes a Master volume control as well as individual pitch/pan/length/vol.Multiple patterns per song which can be changed on the fly.Live performance drum "pads" which are pretty hard to miss.Ability to create accented beats by double-tapping on the grid.The ability to drag your finger through the grid to quickly turn on/off multiple pads - not have to tap tap tap every single square.A stepwise-sequencer grid which lets you see all 16 or 32(!) beats for ALL nine instruments at the same time and can be changed mid playback/on the fly.Why DM1? It hits home on all of the following: If it synced well with LoopyHD I would be a happy camper. I do live looping, so I prefer to stay away from sampler/loopers though of course there's a fine line between what is a "Drum Machine" and what is a "Sampler/Groovebox".At the very end I list a few apps which I haven't tried yet - perhaps you could help answer a few questions? Heck, I've had to split this post in two just to get it to post!įor me at least DM1 is the king of iPad Drum Apps.
