DM1 - The Drum Machine for Positive User Reviews
✓ GreatReally easy to use, nice and in depth as far as choices and sound tweaking goes. Beautiful stuff, don't hesitate to buy it if your looking for a good bit of beat making..Version: 2.1
✓ Great drum machineExcellent collection of kits and sound. Plus you can build your own kits. Lots of options for sequencing and patterns. Built in fox and mixer make it great for composing on the sly. It’s not perfect. Can’t get the midi to work, but could be user /developers error. Who knows. Exporting midi and audio has been no problem. Not sure if it would be a live tool, but it also supports ableton sync so my thoughts could change. Even with shortcomings, use it more than any of my instruments because it’s so handy for working out ideas and just jamming along with the grooves. For the price, definitely worth every cent..Version: 6.2
✓ So close!The interface is great, it's very easy to lay out an entire song with multiple parts, time signatures, etc. So far my favorite drum machine app, but there's one issue that limits it for me: There's a problem with the processing that allows you to adjust the pitch of a sample - noticeable digital artifacts/noise are created with any adjustment away from zero making the sounds effectively unusable, unless you were looking for a bit crusher effect. It's most apparent on kicks and toms, which are both pretty crucial to be able to adjust! I would love to be able to get under the hood and sort through multiple samples for each drum machine a la Funkbox as well as be able to import my own. It would also be nice to have tracks for low, mid and high toms. But I love how the sequencing works.. Please sort out the pitch scaling!!.Version: 2.1
✓ This app rocks!!!Its not easy to use but thats because you have total control over every parameter, and it IS Intuitive. Sounds are wicked and is rock solid. Price is dirt cheap and it is EXACTLY what i have been looking for!!.Version: 4.0.2
✓ AwesomeHad it for ten minutes. Made some great loops already. Love the retro sounds. It will be even more amazing with the retina graphics. Really hope to get that on the next update. Can't wait to get making some tunes with this. So much variety and options for a great price. Kudos to the designers and developers, excellent UI and fantastic app all round!.Version: 2.0.1
✓ Just needs one thing...This app is outstanding! Great sounds, easy to edit... Only problem is it needs export to the new iOS file system! Then you could have your beats synced to your computer and import them into a DAW. Dropbox is okay but it’s less integrated than iDrive and I don’t want another file syncing app on my PC..Version: 6.1.3
✓ Nice...Its a great app that is fun to use, but i would love to see it being brought to an iphone platform.Version: 3.0.2
✓ Awesome!I love it! You can use it for anything, even metal!.Version: 4.2
✓ I’m not a musician....but I love playing with this app. I’ve used it for my own amusement. I’ve made sound effects and soundtracks for my own personal videos. I have more fun with this app than any game I’ve ever played..Version: 6.1.3
✓ It was amazing when it worked!I loved this app so much but now whenever I open it says that there's a problem with the Audiobus and it crashes when I press play! Please fix so I can continue using this amazing app!.Version: 4.1
✓ Easy Peasy and rich with featuresI’ve been frustrated to find an inexpensive simple to use drum beats product till I found DM1. Within 20 minutes, I customized a beat pattern for multiple songs, learned how to select a song to load, change the tone of the beat using a different kit. I’ll connect my iPad to my battery powered portable amp and I’m in business to go busking or lead my jam sessions..Version: 6.2
✓ Retina is backCheers Fingerlab — love your work!.Version: 2.1
✓ GreatTons of great kits and sounds. Easy to use. Would like to see a note repeat function to be able to make 8th note triplets on hi hats, for example, similar to the beat sequencer in GarageBand..Version: 6.2
✓ FunIt is just great fun & although only just starting to play with it, so much more possibility to come..Version: 4.0.1
✓ Simple yet Powerful and MusicalI saw it on the app list, watched the video and downloaded just about that quick. I've got Funkbox and Rebirth and IElectribe and the Korg iMS-20 (which is a favorite). This one fits right in with those apps. It's of the same caliber without question. The user interface is absolutely superb. VERY intuitive controls. I particularly like how you can quickly make up patterns and then go to the song tab and simply drag that patterns to the timeline. That is a stroke of brilliance and I wish other apps were THAT easy. I also like that I can actually HEAR the different drum elements. So many apps have drum sounds that are barely audible which is annoying to say the least. The drum sounds are nice and clear and of very high quality. I think the most important thing I can say about this app is that it's MUSICAL. I'm looking forward to updates because I'm certain this is an app that can only get better..Version: 1.0.1
✓ Great stuff! Although...Best by far. All other drum machines are false-metal..Version: 5.0.6
✓ The Single Greatest App Ever MadeThat title is no understatement. I have used apps on apple products for years now, but this one takes the cake. With all the features you get with this app it's a steal at any price. I'm a singer/songwriter and for any songwriters out there you know the back bone of any song is a great beat and with this app the way to create the worlds next big hit beat is with you when ever inspiration strikes. I also use it to practice, on piano or drums its really shines when trying to play with new interesting rhythm your not use to. I really could talk all day about the countless ways one could use this app. But I won't, because I want you to stop reading this and just buy this app. It's friggin amazing..Version: 4.0.2
✓ Dig the dm1Enjoying the dm1! For the price its great. Would love to sample my own custom kits and have send fx. The layout is brilliant, credit to the designer!.Version: 2.0.1
✓ Must HaveI love this app, I am a hip hop producer and I was worried that these sounds wouldn't fit any styles of the artists I work with but they all do, every drum sound is good and can be tweaked to fit any style which is helpful, also you can hook it up to logic And record the loops you used to use in an actual song takes some fighting but when it's done it is really good, this app keeps getting better, good job!.Version: 3.0
✓ I love this app!Easy, intuitive and versatile!.Version: 6.1
✓ Awesome drum machine app!!!This is an awesome drum machine app!! I have used it within my songs in recording and it sounds awesome and runs perfectly. I recommend this app to all those who are looking for a drum machine app. Please add the Roland TR 505 drum sounds in next pleaseeeee <333333333333333.Version: 5.6
✓ Great When It WorksThis is the best app I've ever downloaded... when it works. My main problem is the long month or two month gaps where it is unusable because it crashes or the effects are way off and ruin any songs you may be working on..Version: 5.0.3
✓ Love it, but needs more...Fallen in love with this app great fun to play around with and you can make some pretty cool stuff, audiobus greatly improves this app because on its own you could only make drum loops, any of the sounds that aren't drums are mostly separate kits... And you can't mix two kits on one track..I don't under stand the point in having those other instruments if you can't play drums behind them... What use is the gun SFX if you can't put it in a song as an effect. if you select the gun SFX or any other kit for that matter it changes everything you've sequenced to the kit you just selected. -more kits -more effects -multiple kits in one song Add these things and your talking the best drum app on iPad..Version: 4.0.4
✓ Great sound and features, but...Giving it five stars because it is really a fantastic drum sequencer with lots of slick features. But please, dear developer, the midi sync implementation needs to be completely rewritten. Please check out SeekBeats for the tightest implementation I've come across. It slaves to external Midi sync like a champ. If DM1 could do this, it would truly be perfect!!!! V5.0 I think the midi sync implementation is actually worse than 4.1, if that's even possible. V5.1 Now we're getting somewhere. Big thanks for the efforts on external midi sync. All it really needs is a clock offset knob and it will be perfect. As is, it locks to external clock really well, no more drifting away... but it is ahead of the beat enough to be a problem. If I could dial in a fixed offset it would work perfect. V5.1.1 I take back my comments on midi sync for 5.1. It's still very unreliable. I wouldn't complain as much but SeekBeats is so good at external midi sync I just don't understand why dm1 can't nail it. V5.2 Wow, looks like they might have finally nailed the external midi sync issues. Still a little quirky but once it locks it's pretty awesome. Been waiting a long time for that. Just about perfect now!!! So fun to play it in sync along with Ableton, Maschine and run it through audiobus to Turnado!!! Cheers for not giving up on this crucial feature!.Version: 5.2
✓ Superb Drum MachineWe are spoiled these days. This is a phenomenal drum machine - released as hardware you’d easily look at paying £500 for this much functionality. This is amongst the best music-based apps out there..Version: 6.1.4
✓ Electronic drum kit for less than $10 :)How cool is this software? I have used this to hook up my Playstation 2 drum kit via its midi out port, through a midi interface into the iPad and then mapped the pads using the midi learn function in DM1. Saved me hundreds $ on a 'real' electronic kit. No latency issues either. Now my son can practice without upsetting the neighbors. The kits available for use are fantastic. My only (small) complaint is trying to adjust the mixer knobs - sliders would be easier? It took me a few minutes to figure out how to use the midi learn function too. But it works sweet..Version: 4.0.1
✓ Very awesome, but needs different time sigs!This is a very awesome drum machine. It seems to have everything you need- whether you want to create beats on the fly or prepare something for an audio track. My one qualm with this product is that it doesn't seem to support other time signatures. All rhythms follow a 4/4 outline, overall. It would be great to incorporate other time sigs-- most especially some sort of three meter. Lack of different time signatures seems to be the only thing that is limiting this app. Otherwise I'd give it a perfect 5! EDIT: Finally found out that meter is fully customizable under the "Step" tab. So, changed rating to 5 stars. Great app!.Version: 1.1
✓ Great UI, great kits, great beats.Thx for the sick app, I tried a bunch of drum machine apps for making electronic beats and this is easily my fave!.Version: 1.0.1
✓ Non progressiveI'm surprised the tempo can't vary in one song. This eliminates the progressive styles I had in mind. For instance playing 80bpm in one bar and 110bpm in another..Version: 5.1.1
✓ This is EXACTLY what I was looking for ...I have been evaluating drum machines for about two days now. I am a guitar player looking for a simple to use drum machine that sounds great. This is it. I saw many others that cost more, were more complex (and difficult) to use … saw some that wouldn't record? or even save a track? this one does … and it has 40 drum kits, special effects (phaser and texturizer among them) room for 9 simultanious percussion sounds … play live or set up a drum track and save (record) it for later. This one does it all AND it's easy to figure out and easy to play/program. All this for less than 10 bucks? Are you kidding me? This one' a no brainer if you are looking for a versatile, cheap, easy to drum machine. Easy 5 stars..Version: 1.1
✓ Buy an iPad for this!Update: I still love this app. But as I've gotten more into playing the drum pads, I really want to be able to move them around. Bass and snare need to be in the lower left corner, as in imaschine. Some drum apps (not imaschine) let users move them around - this is perfect. I think there is a workaround in dm1 - I can create a user kit with the sounds reassigned - but this is clumsy. This is the best drum machine I've ever owned - I'd buy an iPad for this alone. It's very customizable. You can adjust the pitch and volume of each instance of each sample, and the effects are a lot of fun (robotizer's my favorite). Easy to learn to get started, and lots of depth for exploration. User kits mean you aren't limited to the built-in sounds - and there are many. To get more vintage drum machines, google the machine drum samples. And the Dropbox interface is super-slick. Also, you can combine pieces of kits by tapping on the sound in in mixer window (a recent reviewer missed this). Wish list: 1. One more vote for audiobus 2. A less limited way of combining kits - the current method allows for only one sound for each type - e.g. Kick. A suggestion - add some user assignable tracks. That should be an easy way of making it backward compatible, and more flexible. Thanks for this - you guys do great stuff..Version: 4.1
✓ DM1This app is a bargain great for mixing tunes 100 different instruments & keyboards... You can make short samples or full on songs. Easiest way to make a short sample start with the pads toggle REC on & off after every beat you add move to mixer after add affects takes less then 2 minutes to make a short 8-16 step sample. Big time kudos to the developers!!!.Version: 5.1
✓ It just has that feeling... so good!Definitely a good app, with all these icons and an underground vibe, and swing seems to work better than DM2. It might be big, but the stuff is worth it. From clean analog sounds to gritty sounds to apparently, animal noises, you’ve got a lot of possibilities, especially paired with a recording app for multiple tracks. However, I have a question. So, I bought the everything pack, and if a new in app pack is released, do I automatically get it, or do I have to buy it? How would you go about doing it? Hope the answer helps!.Version: 6.1
✓ Very useful for composersWow, I finally managed to find a free quality drum machine which includes classics such as the 808, 909, 606 and many, many, many, many other kits, both electronic music inclined and acoustically organic. This app is very well-done as well as eye candy. It feels professional as a whole, with its many little sound tweaking options. You can compose full "songs" using only the app but I prefer to use it to compose beat and rhythm and then export those as .wav files using DropBox, from my iPad to my Macbook. That way, I can constantly import new beat experiments that I made on the fly, wherever I was located, into my DAW's library of loops. This gives a new kind of freedom to composers out there. A massive thank you to the developers!.Version: 3.0.2
✓ Friggin' wickedIts a drum machine, which sounds great, logical to use and makes sense. Awesome! Just what i have been looking for. Thank you very much..Version: 1.1
✓ What, a drum machine with no accidental deletes? PfftFirst time I can ever recall trying a new drum machine/beatbox and not walking away from the first session frustrated after spending a bunch of time, only to somehow accidentally deleting a part or a whole track (or dubbing over, etc) This is my favorite drum app on iOS by far. I’m a tad surprised I hadn’t found it before but I’m happy I found it now! Makes me feel like a fizzy soda.Version: 6.1.4
✓ Really love this just hope you make it auv3 and work with midiIt has amazing sounds so not being auv I got it to think of it like hardware, but no midi sequencer has worked that I tried that has midi mapping for dm1. Even though it works for all the other midi mapping. Please update the app so it works with midi . Also If you made this auv it would truly become the most popular drum machine on iOS for many many people. Will update to. 5 stars once midi is fixed.Version: 6.2
✓ Best Drum machine AppI've tried a few drum apps on my ipad and this one is just leagues ahead. So easy to use, with a great range of "machines" to choose from. As well as the FX pads for playing with the sounds... absolutely brilliant! I know you can get Rebirth as an app now, but for me, this is just as good, in fact better. The only other drum machine that does beat it (excuse the pun), is the one with Garage Band, but that's more to do with the sounds.... it's all electronic sounding stuff on here. If they add a realistic drum kit then it would be perfect. Brilliant!!.Version: 1.0.1
✓ Stunning stunning stunningI first of all dismissed this app as a bit of a toy, until I started getting a bit deeper into it, and then it slowly dawned on me how incredible this app really is. This is NO toy. Sounds can be manipulated to the minutia detail. I was first off all about the Patterning drum app, which is certainly powerful and innovative, yet, I still find myself coming back to dm1 every - single - time. If you want exciting contemporary sounding beats, it’s all here, you just need to delve into it a bit. I can’t believe I had this under my nose for so long. And it’s such an old app as well! The holy grail would be if there was some way of non painfully routing dm1 into a sophisticated daw like bm3, rather than having to do the whole export thing, which is a bit tedious at times. AU support would be incredible. Dam bm3 with dm1 as an AU would be literally insane. Id pay for that as IAP. Good job developers!.Version: 6.0.6
✓ Truly perfectWell done on a great app. Every time I use this I find more versatility and strength in its features..Version: 1.1
✓ Very cool, very quick, very impressedWe make music for fun and are always on the look out for tools and bits of kit to make the process a little faster and more intuitive, especially when it comes to making "computer" based music. A lot of apps and programs exist on the market and we can't say we've tried them all. However, those we have tried have very often failed to live up their promise. This wee app, though, was a winner with us straight off the bat. If you've used these kinds of interfaces before you'll be churning out beats in no time! If you're something of a beginner, then you'll probably be pleasantly surprised at how intuitive this app is ; it even comes loaded with easy to follow instructional drop-downs. The kits are generous as well as classic in their array, and there's a few different ways you can make beats depending on whether you prefer the MPC style pads or the sequencing. There's a fairly decent set of effects and you can even craft a number of smaller loops into a "song" to export either into your DAW for further layering or straight into your soundcloud to share with your friends. For the money you pay this is very, very, very cool..Version: 3.0.2
✓ Oh snap!This app is brilliant...stuffed full of great features, very easy to use, and it sounds great. Exactly what I wanted...a way to transfer the cool beats in my head to something tangible. I am thoroughly impressed with the quality of this app for only 3£. Buy it now! (I am a complete noob at this sort of thing, though...don't know how a pro would feel about it).Version: 4.0.3
✓ SuperbSo many sounds! So easy to play - it's also an incredibly stable app! An excellent music writing tool.Version: 4.0.4
✓ DM HeavenSo awesome. Highly intuitive and loads of fun. Some ridiculous sounds thrown in but hey, that's part of the sense of humour I think. Buy it - you won't be disappointed..Version: 3.0.1
✓ I really love this app… but...I have no problem giving this app a five start rating because it does absolutely everything it says it will and more… the one thing that I hoped it had though and may have misunderstood or simply do not know how to use to set up properly is a "rock type" drum setup that simply sounds like a real kit with a double bass and whatnot… It is an absolute blast to mess around with otherwise and make more "dance oriented" beats for and for kids who are advanced learners this thing is awesome as an accompaniment to the Korg iMS-20… I would definitely recommend this app to anyone looking for a simple to use really ingenious drum machine app aside from what I stated above that it seemingly doesn't have a "pure rock kit" set up….Version: 1.1
✓ Free?!It blows my mind that this app is free. It's so completely robust and polished it rivals some $30 (looking at you KORG) apps I've purchased. At free it's a must have for any audio enthusiast. Download now!.Version: 3.0.2
✓ After so many years...I still use it and it is the best drum machine in the App store. It looks great, sounds great, very stable. Just a classic piece..Version: 6.1.3
✓ Great sounding fun to use drum machineNot only is this app very fun to use, it also sounds GREAT. The best thing about the app is the intuitive interface, which is very fun to use. It gives you a sixteen step grid sequencer, which can be viewed like a Monome (with a whole screen of steps, 16 for each drum) or like an Electron Machinedrum (with sixteen steps and you select which drum you want to edit). There is also an MPC style pads view for live playing, which can also be recorded or overdubbed. You can also arrange patterns into a song, and add effects. The selection of different drum kits is large and they all sound impressive. There's lots of 808s and 909s, as well as some other retro drum machines and some more experimental sounds too. Please note that you cannot export your audio as a WAV or AIFF file, nor can you upload to Soundcloud or import your own samples. Adding these three features would make the app perfect in my opinion. Also, the effects are good but not great. For the money though, this is a fantastic app that is fun to use, sounds great, and will give you hours of entertainment. Well worth investing in. I strongly recommend it..Version: 1.0.1
✓ Great SequencerDM1 is a powerful yet easy to use step sequencer that I personally find very useful in creating demo drums for tracks. The only complaint is it's a rather painstaking process to assemble your own kit, and the lack of properly defined tom sounds - most rock kits have only one, generally the floor tom. That small niggle aside, I highly recommend it..Version: 4.1
✓ Back to lifeWorks in iOS 8 after last update. It's working with AudioBus again too (AudioBus says "error" on the icon, but I just tested and confirmed I could record DM1's output in GarageBand)..Version: 4.2
✓ Great appGreat app for anyone who wants to make some cool drum beats and songs..Version: 4.1
✓ Takes me backI used to own a TR-909 way back in the days before they were considered cool, and I also used a few other models of drum machines along the way. This app really takes me back to those days … except that back then the machines couldn't do 1/10th as many things as this app does. I was impressed to find quite a few capabilities buried in the app that weren't mentioned in any reviews I had seen, such as the ability to have a sound playing in reverse, double-tapping to make a specific step louder, and so on. By the way, the reviewer who was unhappy about the elimination of the comp filter was mistaken - it's still there, but the recent addition of more filters means that the list has to be scrolled to show them all, and the comp filter is at the bottom of that list. Also, it is easy to make time signatures other than 4/4 in the app by just clicking on any of the light "diodes" along the top of the steps grid to limit the number of steps in the pattern. All in all, I think I will enjoy this app a lot. When I think back to the premium price I paid for that TR-909, a measly five dollars to get everything this app can do seems nothing short of a miracle..Version: 2.1
✓ Perfect CompanionEvery great song has to have the right groove, right? This little gem is new for me but it is ideal for finding inspiration or rejuvenating a tired old song that's going no where. For me it's perfect. Still discovering more and more (pitch shifting in the mixer, applying fx to individual channels, export features) and I've only had it a couple of hours - I can't put my guitar down😎.Version: 6.1
✓ This is good, but...Adding to the previous reviews that have wished for recording of the kaoss pads, etc. One thing that I hope is fixed with an upcoming update is renaming of the instrument/pads according to the kit you're using. Not many of them use the default layout, and it'd be good to see at a glance what each kit actually contains. Otherwise, this is a fun, and economical drum machine - one of the best on the iPad..Version: 2.0.1
✓ Great drum machine!Fun, musically useful and deeper than it seems at first glance. The ability to change pattern length and have different length patterns in the same song is a nice touch that is often overlooked in other music apps. Also, love the live-messing-around potential of the effects pads and switching up patterns on the fly..Version: 1.1
✓ Fun to useThis is a fun to use and quite tactile. Good value for the money. Lots of different voices to choose from, and many ways to modify them..Version: 5.1.1
✓ The bestThe one and only drum machine I'll ever need. All other drum machine apps at this price range at the moment have proved to be nothing but a waste of time and money. To me this is perfect in everything: the intuitive steps, the export into Wav. files (all other apps are a nightmare at this particular feature), the user friendly interface and the solidity (does NOT crash!!). Don't waste your money on other drum machine apps: this one couldn't be better..Version: 1.1
✓ Excellent but not perfectThis is a definite must purchase, lots of kits and very intuitive. Great fun to make beats and the sound is very good when using another audio interface connected via camera connection kit. I have mine connected to my xiosynth meaning I can connect via high quality cables, I also run it through a tube amp which makes it sound even better. My 2 gripes would be the quality of the hats in most of the drum kits, they don't sound nice IMO. Also the snares could have a bit more weight to them. Eventually it would be great if there was a way to route each different drum part into your sequencer on different channels so that you can record a whole drum kit in one take..Version: 2.0.1
✓ エ personally like this 'Drum - Machine'.エt's easy to use, and not in a bad way, which makes it the perfect drum sequencer for those times you just wanna create summin quick. If you have an idea for a pattern then it's a good app to quickly get it down and see how it sounds. The drum-sound quality is more than good enough, but unfortunately it is a bit limited... it could do with a few more decent pre-set sounds. But all in all, a nice little piece of app magic... so it's ×5 stars from me. You're welcome. ps. With the new update comes a better quality of sound. I'm still just checking it out, but so far so good. Keep updating... let the magic flow!!.Version: 5.0.1
✓ ExcellentBetter tank funk box if you are trying to decide which to but.Version: 2.0.1
✓ Bpm manual dial pleaseI really enjoy the app overall. I use it mostly for practicing. I love those drum sounds and the intuitive layout. Things to improve : 1) Make the bpm adjustable with manual dial. The slider is quite imprecise and not suitable at all for professional use, neither for amateur. 2) Please make it possible to adjust the velocity of each step of an instrument. Having 3 to 5 level of dynamics per note, for a start, would be a good improvement. 3) I'd love to have the tempo saved per pattern instead of per whole song. Often time the different parts of a song can change tempo, sometimes even just slightly, but it makes a huge difference..Version: 6.1.3
✓ Best yet that I have tried!It is easy to use, well laid out, versatile and with good sound quality. I had to delete and re-install the app because initially I had a crashing problem when I selected the Mattel drum kit. I especially like that once you have selected your drum kit that in the mixer you can change any kit component to use its counterpart in any other drum kit without affecting the other kit components. The 'Melodic' instrument has too much resonance or something as there is some noise in it which gets worse with any use of effects. That should be fixed. While I know with apps that emulate a historical device/instrument remaining faithful to the original is desired it would be nice (especially for beginnings) if the labels for a kit's components reflects what they actually are. For example the cowbell in the King04 kit is really another snare drum. Or have an option to enable the feature. That way the purists could select not to use it. I found a problem with song naming/renaming where you never can use all the field for renaming and sound names when it erase some of the last letters it will not let you even to put back all of the ordinal characters. I think what is really going on I'd that they used proportional font so it only "appears" to not allow the full 17 characters. That should be fixed though is a minor detail not that I understand what the app is doing, This is the first drum machine I actually 'want' to use!.Version: 1.1
✓ Best. Drum. Machine. App. But...The Best out there now and my go-to drum sequencing, live pad drumming app! Although, needs a few things to be a PERFECT 5 (almost there, keep up the good work): Copy works for the most part, but we need direct export to GarageBand. But most of all, I would love to see a live kit setup (like GB drums or better yet, pocket drums type setup) for the drums and make them customizable, have automations, have the ability to swap drums under different factory presets (and then, of course comes user defined presets!). Maybe a different type of distortion effect? I don't like bitcrush/lofi, maybe just mild fuzz/overdrive? This isn't a huge deal, since i just use the compressor to take the "edge" out of the distortion. A fuzz type overdrive (as opposed to full on distortion with bitcrushing) would be ideal, but that is just a personal preference and not needed go make the app perfect, but i thought i would throw in my own person 2cents request. See: better, direct export options and and a customizable kit mode with option for simulated kit and then user presets for the important ones. Fix those Small flaws and this app is perfect! It is as simple as that. I know you will, in time..Version: 2.1
✓ Farkin brilliantBy far the best drum machine I have tried for IOS. Instant gratification, easy to get great loops happening quick, and sounds are great. cant wait for future updates for sample import and song export, also looking forward to a nice Filter FX and possibly Beat Repeat (in addition to the existing note repeat). Love it love it love it!.Version: 1.0.1
✓ 5StarsSolid app..Version: 4.0.4
✓ A must have!!!Easily one the best app purchases I have ever made... Period.... Extremely easy to use and it comes LOADED with drum kits and samples, with NO need to buy more samples through in-app purchases... I repeat, you will NOT be hassled to buy anything in this app, it comes fully featured and ready to go... Crafting a beat is simple to do and can be very complex if you so desire... Any time I was unsure of a certain function, i simply pressed the "?" button and it was instantly explained... you also get access to the PDF file that contains the very thorough, in-depth manual... Recording in-app is pretty good, but if you prefer to use your own recording software like Ableton, ProTools or GarageBand, it can be easily done with an audio-out cable through the headphone jack... I was actually able to have it pass through a loop station and external interface before it got to my computer software, no problem... I can't stress enough, this app is worth every penny, a drum machine with this capability would cost you hundreds of dollars as a separate instrument.... if you are a musician, BUY IT NOW!.Version: 3.0.2
✓ Beat beat beat!!!Visually perfect! Love the app - gives you nice setup, set of samples are ok however if you dont like a line of for example cowbell you cannot exchange it so sometimes instead of nine samples you are left with 8 or less..I found it slightly annoying that some do clip. Effects pads are great but once again - a little bit of clipping when changing the values.. Looking forward to some modern samples as well - not too fussy, just fed up with vintage boxes ;) Overall definitely worth the money, hoping for further updates! Very good system..Version: 1.0.1
✓ Very good - but?I have recently purchased DM1 for the IPAD and agree with all the positive comments that it is one of the best apps of this type but having also purchased two other beat making / rhythm Apps for comparison there are a couple of minor operational aspects of DM1 that need improving. 1. When using the hi-hat it is expected that the open hi-hat sound is muted when the hi-hat is closed. Unless I have set it up wrong this doesn't happen with DM1. Without this feature it is impossible to create an authentic sounding hi-hat. 2. Another feature which is on my other two rhythm apps is an option to allow for eight steps to the beat which gives a much better feel to certain types of rhythm. Apart from the these two observations the app is exceptional in terms of ease of use and features and deserves the high rating. Mog.Version: 4.0.3
✓ Way more than you might expect!Great drum machine....easy to program and use, but the best part are the kits, everything from classic machines to latin instruments to gunshot sets! Great job guys..Version: 5.3
✓ This is reaallllly funDM1 is a straightforward and well functioning app. The developers have chosen a specific set of features, implemented them well and made sure they work nicely. The result is a really nice tool to play around with and jam out new ideas. The kits that come with the app by default are nice, and combined with the easy to use interface you can start coming up with some usable, if basic, beats straight away. This may not be the most complex and fully featured drum machine app you’ll ever use, but considering the price it is well worth a look, and I believe amongst the cheapest to allow you to load and edit (trim) your own samples. Well worth a look..Version: 6.0.7
✓ Bpm issuesTap tempo is hard to use. But more importantly, I’m not sure the bpm metronome is accurate. I’ve tried to beat match it to other apps and I can’t get it to line up at all. Love the app tho, but That’s a big issue for me. Good luck. I’ll still keep using if I can find a work around. Thanks.Version: 6.2
✓ Amazing!So easy to use, got a great choice of synths available, song builder is smooth. Effects rock too. Nice work!.Version: 2.1
✓ Cant find a support email to write toI have a few questions. i have dm1 on different devices, mac, iphone and ipad. can i automatically sync your user settings and saved samples and songs via icloud? why isnt icloud an option as a location to import samples from? why cant i find the user kits section on the iphone app?.Version: 6.1
✓ Fantastic appI have only been using the app for almost a day and I'm loving it. Creating beats has never been easier or more fun. You also have some pretty cool percussion and mallet instruments if you ever wanted to try some thing new..Version: 3.0.3
✓ DM1This is a work of old school beats and new school beats art,if you know 1982 electro beats or 2012 beats/sounds and techno or just normal drum kit sounds this is the best app I personally have ever downloaded,they really put loads of work into this i would pay £9.99!!! Only a small moan tho' the dials on the individual volumes are not easy for my big fingers to adjust maybe at bottom of dial just a plus and minus to make the dial adjust more accurately? Well done people it's genius anyway A++++.Version: 3.0.2
✓ Awesome!This app is great! Worth the money in every way. Its very easy to use and there is so much you can do with it if you just spend a little time getting to know the interface. the extended sequencer is a very nice touch! It would be nice to have the ability to change the time signature! And the ability to input half beats for more complex rhythms. If these could be included in an update, that would make this app 5 stars across the board and practically perfect in my opinion..Version: 2.1
✓ Amazing, almost perfect.This is an incredible drum machine, with a fantastic UI and a great range of samples. It is a joy to use and can allow even a novice like me make fantastic beats. It does this not through hand-holding or automation, but through being a well-designed piece of software with an unintimidatiing interface. Very easy to just pick up and play. That said, it also has a lot of depth to it, with the dual effects pads and mixer, which allows samples of different machines to be used at once. I look forward to when export and import options are added, it's nice to see that there are plans to expand and improve this app even more. Thank you for creating it..Version: 1.0.1
✓ AwesomeI am a relatively new musician (guitar and singing) and was looking for something to keep me in time. Tried a couple different metronomes but couldn't stay dedicated. I had heard of drum machines but they were pricey... Then I thought "how about an app"? The Dm1 was one that was in most comparisons that I could find and always had favorable reviews. I couldn't be more pleased. I plug my iPad into my sound system and I have a drummer that is always in and on time. Like I said, I am new at this so may not be using the full functionality but after a quick read of the user manual, I can record the patterns, assemble them into a song and have it play. Now I just have to find some good beats to play along with as I don't know the first thing about drums ;).Version: 4.0.4
✓ The best beats app. Full stop. Buy it.I have bought pretty much all the other main music making apps on here, korg stuff, nano studio etc etc. this sounds the best and is the most fun/intuitive. It's awesome and a lot cheaper than mosts. Worth every penny. If they added a bass synth it would be even better!!!!!.Version: 2.0
✓ Very awesome.Easy to learn and use, and everything from the user interface, sound quality and stability is great..Version: 3.0.2
✓ NoGreat app..Version: 3.0.3
✓ Excellent Interface, great V1This is by far my favorite drum machine on iOS to date. Fast & intuitive interface, nice feature set (the repeat-touch stripe is awesome), quick response and it sounds great. Definitely a buy at the current price. That said, there's a number of features that would make it even better. Audio & MIDI Copy/Paste is a MUST have. Once one can actually move these drum sounds to another app or DAW it becomes more than a toy. Other features that would be nice are FX per channel, sample import (or maybe even Kit pack downloads for purchase), and a synth-style drum interface page vs. just the sampled machines. Again, overall great - please purchase and support the great effort, but looking forward to some future updates to make it truly fantastic..Version: 1.0
✓ Best drum machine that I have triedFirst it is fun, lots of different patches/kits. I like making a pattern & then testing out the different kits. I have tried a few other drum machine apps and this is the best that I have come across, sound wise and ease of use. Keep up the great work! I hadn't played with DM-1 in awhile and forgot that it sounds so great and it brought a smile to my face - wow - great app!.Version: 4.0.3
✓ FantasticFingerlabs' iMotion app for stop motion movie-making is superbly designed and implemented, so I've been looking forward to this for a while. DR1 is great to use - it looks fantastic, the layout and UX is spot on and much better than any other drum machine I've used on the iPad. Most importantly, the sounds and beats and rich and varied, and the whole process of composing is fun and rewarding. Fingerlabs have said they will be updating; the obvious next steps will be mp3 export and an undo button (it's easy to click a few things experimentally and end up either with a totally different rhythm or even a blank grid), followed by effects on individual tracks. For a first version, at this price, it's an absolute winner..Version: 1.0
✓ Potentially amazing!This app is no doubt already amazing, but needs just a few more tweaks to really get it going! In my opinion, it needs : 1 - The ability to save your own drum machine presets. 2 - The ability to record your own sounds and sequence them, just like you would with the included sounds (not that there is any lack of included sounds!) 3 - The ability to record things such as volume, pitch, and very importantly, the (kaos) pads!.Version: 2.0.1
✓ Good beatsJuice red beats. Well worth the money.Version: 6.1
✓ Best groove generator in the App StoreGreat app that keeps getting better..Version: 4.0.1
✓ Remarkable!All of the effects are now available for the original iPad (which was my only compliant from previous versions). This is my favorite drum sequencer in the AppStore. Who am I? Nobody..Version: 1.1
✓ MrGreatest thing I've ever tried! I'm making drums with it for the music I make. And since I've got no drummer around, my music sounded flat, but with this drummer machine I can be a band myself. Select the pitch of drums, the volume and make awesome drums with a simple touch of the screen. Only thing I recommend to make this better is make some more samples of floor tom cause the ones you provide are like a bit detuned, even when I try to change their pitch. I could even buy a package with some rocking drums sets. Cheers for the good work done guys. Keeps it real!.Version: 2.0.1
✓ Amazing satisfier.This is the greatest thing since canned sardines. I love it and it drives everyone else in the house nuts. It will speed the parting guest for sure. Seriously, if you have a strong sense and appetite for rhythm you will be highly rewarded here like no place else. It will make you happy happy..Version: 6.1.2
✓ NiiiiiceYeah it's good.Version: 4.0.3
✓ High qualityAudiobus, great UI, extensive sets, what more could you want?.Version: 3.0.3
✓ Great Drum MachineThis is my first drum machine, it was hard to make it work at the beginning because I am not a drummer (I play guitar), but once I started to know it I can only say that this is all I need to practice and write songs along with my guitar. Big selection of acoustic electronic drums. GREAT APP..Version: 6.1
✓ Love It!This App makes my musical life better in every way!.Version: 6.0.6
✓ One of my favoritesFrom day 1, excellent. Thank you for all the hard work. Excellent update.Version: 5.2
✓ Ignore the negative reviews!The best drum machine on here. Don't let the negative reviews fool you. I think those reviewers haven't found the FX panel. The app loads with the overdrive effect on giving the beats a crunchy effect. Turn this off and everything sounds crisp. The original kits sound great if you're a fan of IDM and abstract sounds. don't quite know why people are complaining! Rated four stars cause I'd love some CoreMIDI integration. Would like to be able to link this to my hardware and run it off an external clock..Version: 2.0
✓ Owned since day 1 and DM1 has gotten better and better and betterOwn on Mac and iOS one request is please PLEASE please add some marching percussion drum corps style samples! I would be forever grateful. I would pay $20 IAP for really great marching snare, tenors, and pitched bass drum kits. Also as long as you are at it improving/adding midi, IAA, audiobus, & AU features would be the Christmas wish list best ever presents. Thank you! 🙏.Version: 6.0.7
✓ Great!Great fun to use, lots of great sounds, very useful, very easy to use great accessibility for exporting..Version: 4.0.1
✓ Best drum machine app by farI wish I had more time to write more but I must be brief, however, I can sum everything up by the following statement: this app is incredible.... The interface is fluid... This is the main difference between this and rival drum machine apps... The workflow goes so smoothly, I can write and sketch new patterns and sounds extremely easily, and quickly, and I feel completely at control with it. However I'm it strained because it is not hard to do whatever I want with this app. It's flexible and fluid. Also, the sound selection is great, very large, customizable, and sounds phenomenal And finally, this app is stable, bugs are rare to be found here..Version: 3.0.2
✓ Not working on iPad Pro 1st editionIt’s a great DMC but has stopped starting on an iPad Pro 1st edition....Version: 6.1.6
✓ Got you coveredOut of all the drum samplers and apps I've purchased and used, This app covers nearly everything. this is my most preferred due to its versatility, in terms of sequencing drums, recording or jamming live.. But also for its mixer and fx features. It's delays and verbs aren't the best but they can be tweaked for greater impact. The range of sounds and kits are awesome, even moreso that they don't demand in-app purchases! The swing features are pretty mean too, but all good drum apps should have this! It's compatibility with audiobus is a massive advantage overall, especially for users who want to track their drums into other projects which would be most of us, and the fact the play button drops your beats instantly and is not delayed like other apps, this is essential when tracking into other software/projects. Awesome product on the whole, would def recommend all round! Only suggestion for improvement would be for more options for timing signatures (double time/semiquavers) and extra kits/instruments.. Thanks finger lab!.Version: 4.0.1
✓ ReviewIt's great.Version: 3.0.2
✓ I like itI like this app. It’s got one flaw I’ve found. When creating new kits your audio share button Dose nothing at all. It will not Import a sample. iPad Pro 12.9 is what I use. Please fix.Version: 6.1.3
✓ Badass except...This app rules. Only two things could be improved. 1) ability to import your own sounds into the pads and 2) solo and mute buttons on the mixer. Double tapping to mute makes a weird effect, especially if you're using it live..Version: 5.0.5
✓ LovelyReally lovely app. Beautiful graphics, intelligent UI -- a lot of real though has gone into this app. I've just been playing around for the last hour annoying my neighbours. The effects are the most fun. Ideas: BASS, would love too see this develop to more of a backing track than just drum, that way I can imagine a lot of hip-hop artists getting on board too. And more effects! Love playing around with the reverb, but need lots more effects!.Version: 2.1
✓ Thank you!!!When I bought this app it would crash during start up. I wrote a review stating my issue. To my surprise the developer contacted me through email saying sorry about the issue and they are working on it. Never has any developer contacted me about anything before. That shows that they care about about their product and their customers. Today I got my update and the start up crash is fixed. Thank you!! I've only messed with the app a little so far but it's very impressive. Nice layout and a good amount of options. This is gonna be perfect for me. No other issues found so far either. Again, I want to say thank you to Fingerlab for being on top of their game and standing by their product..Version: 6.0.2
✓ Great drum machine appHad some initial challenges with a crash in an earlier version, but that’s all cleared up. Well designed and implemented drum machine app..Version: 5.0.2
✓ Great appAwesome app. They are making this app a competition for 2013.Version: 3.0.2
✓ Fantastic but...I would like to see an update that would make it possible to have each pattern have its own separate tempo and FX because some times I want and FX in one pattern and not another. Sometimes I want to create a double bass line with the bass having a tempo of 200bpm but my cymbal and snare to have a tempo of 100bpm. But that's not the problem I can do that. But I don't want all my patterns to have a tempo of 200bpm. I'd also like to be able to change each sound in each pattern. So say I want make pattern 1 metal and pattern 2 dubstep I'd like to be able to use them both without affecting them both by changing the sounds. if an update comes to deal with these problems then I will gladly give a 5 star. :).Version: 4.1
✓ Mean buzzReally intuitive, fast and flexible. Awesome news about audiobus support..Version: 3.0.3
✓ Missing only a few things...This is app is great, works fine, easy to use, and the selection for drum machines to use. The only thing is, it's missing the TR-505, 707, and 727! Also a few others, but these are the main ones. They need to add these, making it the best drum app, that's the only bad thing about it. Other than that some effects are a little off-sounding, but it comes close enough. Just those drum machines, plus maybe some Linn ones or other classics, and replace them with the sound effects like "weapon" and "water", which, in my opinion, are pointless. I can't be the only one yearning for those drums, right?.Version: 4.0.5
✓ Love the interfaceNot to mention the sounds and patterns you can make are excellent..Version: 3.0.2
✓ Great start!You really can't go wrong at this price and I would recommend this app for anyone interested in music. It great for playing along to on any instrument and really makes you think about your timing. It seems churlish to criticise but it would be nice to be able to assign names to patterns, also to have more than 12 available. Is possible to assign sounds to the pads and for instance have more than one Tom available for rock fills? More rock samples would be nice too..Version: 1.0
✓ Rad! And getting better...DM2 has been here on the AppStore for awhile and has steadily improved and built upon a simple but solid interface to become one of the must-haves for “padtronica”. Easy for a beginner to build something on-the-fly and have it sound decent, with enough features and inter-app communication options for it to be right at home with a traditional DAW and/or hardware. My one (or two) wish(es) would be for more individual drum sound-sculpting options like frequency filtering and EQing and maybe to inject some life into the FX section with more parameter control/different FX. But I can understand the reason behind not adding too many more options, as it is more than capable as-is and it’s restrictions are, in the end, what gives it it’s unique character..Version: 6.1
✓ Awesome appAlmost 5 stars, needs some more midi options to sync with my other apps. Take a look at midi options in funk box.Version: 3.0.3
✓ AmazingI do not understand how an app this complete and polished can be free! It's amazing!.Version: 3.0.2
✓ SIMPLE QUICK BUT DEEPI freakin love this app. Used it constantly for years now and it still my first stop on the drum train. Super simple, easy & quick to throw a beat together but has some much depth if you wanna get right in and really make your beat unique. If you want a 4 bar basic backer or complex song arrangements this is the one. Gets the balance between instant gratification and deep tweakage just RIGHT! On/Off quantise switch?.Version: 6.1.4
✓ The Best In Its Class!The designers keep the updates fairly regular so they're on top of it and they obviously care for their product. They're always adding drums, sounds and other instruments which sound pretty good for a step editing iOS app. Other step editing apps are honestly not as good. It's quick and easy to use and fairly flexible across a range of musical ideas to get beats going and pasted to other apps in no time..Version: 6.0.1
✓ It's very, very good but not yet greatIt's a bit churlish to only give this 4 stars when it's clearly an exceptional app. The sounds are brilliant, it's incredibly easy to use, you can edit down to the finest details, it looks stunning - the whole program oozes class. The missing star is just because there are (for me anyway) a few missing ingredients. First, grooves/beats are programmed around 16 or 32 steps - and there are time signatures where that just doesn't work. Second, you should be able to assemble your own kits, either by importing sounds, or by selecting different elements from the existing sounds. There is a limited facility to do the latter, but it's incomplete. Finally, there is a uniform naming convention which doesn't make any sense when you load in different kits as very few of the sounds are given the correct names either on the pads or in mixer / steps screen. Hopefully the developers will address points such as these during future releases. In the meantime, this is by some distance the best drum app out there. It's testament to the power of apps that a decade or so ago you would have had to fork out well over £200 for something as good and versatile as this..Version: 2.1
✓ Nearly thereGood, but really needs choke groups (at least 1 for hats) and the ability to program triplets. Only thing stopping it from being perfect..Version: 4.0.3
✓ Blue Tooth Foot ControllerI have been trying to connect a blue tooth foot controller, To the DM1. An, Air Turn, BT-200 S2. With no luck at all! I seem to have no difficulty connecting the BT-200 To the iPad, Bluetooth. But there seems to be no information, on what settings are required for the DM1? I sure wish I could find a way to contact FingerLab, For assistance?.Version: 6.2
✓ Pas pour toutes les plateformesDM1 pour iPad est vraiment super, facile à comprendre. Chaque programmation m'apporte d'agréable surprises. C'est mon outil de travail quotidien. Par contre la version pour ordi n'est pas au point, j'ai dû la recheter pour mon MacBook!?! Les effets ne sont aussi efficaces, le mode "mixer" dans les Fx ne fonctionne pas toujours. Et les documents fait dans un iPad ne sont pas 100% compatible avec l'ordi, y'a des bouts qui ne suivent pas la transition. Mais pour le iPad c'est magique.Version: 5.4.1
✓ This is darned good!!One of the best drum apps I’ve played with.Version: 6.2
✓ Top NotchExcellent design and set of features, my number one app for pattern based loops..Version: 3.0.2
✓ Great appReally awesome app. Best free drum machine I've used. The only thing I would like is the ability to change the tempo for individual patterns within a song..Version: 3.0.2
✓ The best drum machineThe best drum machine, i recording my heavy metal solomoroject with auria and this drum machine and sounds amazing. Thanks dm1 Se the resull at darklight corporation on facebook. Or search darklight corporation on itunes and check it out.Version: 4.0.3
✓ Simple to figure out, fun to useEnjoying playing around. Good for creating video background tracks quickly..Version: 6.1
✓ Best Drum Machine App!I got this app a while ago when I was looking for a good drum app, then shelved it for a while. After watching a video last night of someone in a studio using a drum machine to lay down the rhythm in a jam session, I loaded up the app to mess around. There's so much you can do! There's a good amount of sound presets, from vintage drum machines, dm's from specific eras, and even acoustical drums. There is a step process that lays out either four or eight measures in 16th notes, allowing you to program a unique rhythm. There's a mix tab where you can tweak each sound individually, or isolate certain channels (solos). You can build different rhythms per project (my last project used 15), and you can arrange them how you like in the song tab. You can even export your projects in wav format to Dropbox, Facebook, etc. I'm an experienced drummer - I play acoustical drums for a band that plays weekly - but I'm no pro when it comes to programming DMs. Still I had fun creating some loops, and they sound great enough that I'll probably use them as my smartphone's ringtones. Maybe one day I can incorporate some of my projects into the band. Overall, this is a great app! Worth checking out!.Version: 5.6.2
✓ Outstanding!!!Holy moly, this app is awesome!! Endless possibilities, tuns of sounds looks great, easy to use. Best feature is the audio backgrounder, which means you can leave the app while it's playing and go in to a synth, genius! ..... 1 tiny little gripe guys..... The ability to move the pads, I play with kick on the left, I know apple done it this way with garage band, but it's completely backward to me, and I can't do it. Would have been cool too if the play buttons on the mixer page had a bit more room around them, cos I keep loading up a new sound or turning the volume. I think that would help us finger drummers out there happy :) Top App!!!.Version: 1.1
✓ Can't get much betterDefinitely one of the best drum machines on iOS. Flexible time signatures, loads of sounds, custom kits, velocity programming, MIDI and Audiobus support, copy/paste, fx, mixer – it's fantastic at what it does. Of course there is always room for improvement. The ability to add triplets and double strokes etc., and a couple more sample slots would take it to the next level and make it unbeatable. Even so, it's a fantastic app that deserves a place on most musicians' iPads..Version: 4.0.3
✓ Fun!Nice app for large variety of applications. Versatile, good sounds..Version: 6.1
✓ Really niceLove this one, lots of fun and easy to learn and use. Three things I'd like to see. One and two could related - I'd like to be able to put in a count-in bar at the beginning of the song. Related, I'd like to be able to set loop points and number of loops, so that, for example, pattern 1 would play once (taking care of the count-in), patterns 2, 3 and 4 would play 4 times, pattern 5 once, patterns 6, 7, 8 4 times, pattern 9 once and then loop back to pattern 2. MIDI output for triggering other sounds would be nice.Version: 2.1
✓ Excellent Drum Machine AppGreat drum machine app, I use it on the go to help me conceptualize the songs I’m composing or for reviewing the work of others to expand my own creativity. In short, DM1 is a very inspiring app to help write songs..Version: 6.1.3
✓ 5_*This app is gangster ......Version: 2.0.1
✓ AmazingI have used this app for over a year, and all I can say is that it's awesome. It has a great selection of drum machines (such as Roland's TR 606, 808, and 909) and other rhythm contraptions that will give you literally hundreds of hours of play time. Unlike many other beat creation apps out there, DM1 is incredibly easy to use and has unlimited possibilities of what you can create. You can also upload samples and use the effects channels to go absolutely crazy. This is definitely a 5 out of 5 app. Probably the best 5 bucks you can spend anyware. The only downside is that it can occasionally crash if things get too hectic..Version: 4.0.5
✓ Love itI'm using this to lay down drum patterns to play my guitar to. Quick, powerful, easy and portable. Fabulous!.Version: 3.0.2
✓ You've come a long way baby !Wow. Two years since I used this. Spent at least four hours and upgraded too. Stunned. Very intuitive. Very sophisticated. Loving it..Version: 6.1.3
✓ Top notchExcellent drum machine. SImple to use with varied sound sets and great controls. Even my 3 year old daughter can use it :).Version: 1.0.1
✓ ACE!This app is ACE! I play drums in church and a cover band...which means a MaSsIvE set-list! I use this app to work out tempos and the main grooves...then I use in ear monitoring to use it as a click for the rest of the band and to help remind me how the groove for each song goes! So...my one REQUEST is this! Is it possible to be able to work on re-arranging the order of songs when I load them? Dragging and dropping songs in the order I want? Or maybe a function that helps me to create a set-list? At the moment I have to scroll to the song I want...which is getting harder and harder to do a my song list grows! Obviously not good if wanting to move quickly from one song to the next when gigging! Also...super pleased that different time signatures are now included...sweet! Keep up the good work...this really does help in a practice or gig situation! I tell all drummers I meet about it...:) ThAnkS!.Version: 4.0.3
✓ It’s a very useful toolEasy to use and very helpful as a drum learning tool.Version: 6.1
✓ Amazing AppThis is great app, at least on my iPad. Congratulations whoever designed this! I have been using real drum machines for some time and I am now wondering if it is time to ditch those and use this app. However, I have foot control on my drum machine which will make me his irate, but who knows, that might come one day on the iPad. Easy programming of patterns and songs. Great for a non drummer like me as I can try lots of ideas before deciding which works best. I can the either play the songs on the iPad or input the patterns and songs on my drum machine. Makes the whole process so much easier. Thanks again...and keep up the great work. William..Version: 5.6.1
✓ Great appGreat app... Tons of drum kits and great functionality. Especially the way you can go in depth and edit things such as quantisation and panning on each instrument. It feels more thought out than other similar apps I've tried. However, there are a few things that bug me. The inability to choose which sounds you want from each kit e.g. I wanted two kicks on one track - an 808 and the jakerock kick - but it only allows you to have one kick. It'd be better if you could pick and choose any sounds you want from the selection available instead of one tom, one kick, one snare etc... Also it'd be brilliant if the audio copy feature was compatible with GarageBand. That would make this go to a perfect 5star rating for me! As it is its still a Must buy.Version: 2.0
✓ Great Rhythm SketchpadOnly had it a couple of weeks but within minutes it was obvious that this is a fantastic little drum machine with a wide variety of kit styles ranging from classic drum machines to some pretty far out noise makers, it even has the Mattel, my first drum machine! If you're into making music on your iPad this is a bit of a no-brainer. Supports wist and external midi too..Version: 2.0.1
✓ IPhone version, please!Great sound. Rhythmically versatile. I'd love to have the step sequencer in an iPhone version!.Version: 2.0.1
✓ Great Classic and a joy to use! Beautiful!I really love it! It feels like a real drum machine, not just an app! Create beats and sounds in a great classic environment!.Version: 6.1.3
✓ Great!Lots of different sounds and a great range of kits! From retro to future. Awesome app! Once you can set different kits or fife rent patterns this will be unstoppable!.Version: 2.0.1
✓ Beautifully craftedA beautiful app that offers simplicity and depth. If only it allowed for layering multiple tracks. Latest update allows for audiobus support??? Officially changing my review! Way to keep the masses happy! Keep up the awesome work..Version: 3.0.3
✓ NiceA fantastic free app that really performs..Version: 3.0.2
✓ Great musician tool!Awesome app! I have been using it to make songs. Just make a pattern hit play and jam away. Plenty of kits to choose from and very customizable. The sync could use some work though I tried to use wist to sync it to my korg app on another device and there were some latency issues after a few mesures. Still a powerful drum app, with a pretty interface..Version: 4.1
✓ Not enough stars...If there were six stars, DM1 would be in with a shot. I'm quite a newbie to drum machines and their ilk, but getting hold of this user-friendly tray of candy has had me drooling from the moment I got it a month ago, and love all the more I get into it. My friend bought it for his iPad on my high recommendation... Now we jam till stupid o'clock every time we get together :-) DM my initials too, so it was written on the wall for me that I had to have it. Well done, you got me hooked. :-P.Version: 3.0.3
✓ The best!Honestly, my fav drum machine on iPad!! Nothing comes close. I love it!!! Made so many awesome drum beats. Thank you :).Version: 3.0.2
✓ Love it.It's easy to spend hours playing around with this. So much fun. I can't find many instructions anywhere, but it's been half the fun working it all out. Some people would get an iPad just for this app. It's brilliant..Version: 2.0.1
✓ Fantastic!!Very easy to use, despite the huge depth of editing. super!!.Version: 5.7.4
✓ THIS IS THE BEST APP EVERI can not even begin to tell you how much fun I have had on this app. It is every beat maker/producers dream to have this amazing app of wonderland magic. Not only can you load in your own kit, but I AM STILL LOSING MY MIND IN THE MASSIVE LIST OF VINTAGE CLASSIC DRUM MACHINES. Loads of effects, great export feature, godly drum machines and kits [that includes acoustic kits, instrument kits and electronic + old school kits (not including the drum machines)] overall, my favourite app that I use EVERYDAY. A superb job!!!!.Version: 4.0.1
✓ Absolutely AmazingI've been using the DM1 machine in our church for over 6 months now, and the app is incredible, fast loading, easy to use, and now the 2.0 has blown me away, the funny thing was, I about to send am email asking for some things to be added, it's like they ready my mind, the program is fantastic a huge thank you to the finger lab team..Version: 2.0
✓ Best drum machine app in the App StoreI tried all of the drum machine apps out there and this is the best. If I can get it to work with a midi pedal or USB pedal to start and stop I will be getting rid of my classic drum machine on stage. I would highly recommend it if you are performing or or just playing around..Version: 4.0.3
✓ Great productVery usable.Version: 6.0.2
✓ Dm1 goodnessLove this little! Great to fiddle with ideas, and descend voices. Keep up the good work!.Version: 3.0.2
✓ Almost perfect- great updateThis is by far the most forward and fun drum machine for the ipad on the market currently. it looks exceptionally well designed and most of the little quirks internally have been worked out including the fx per track finally and the beyond amazing SAMPLE IMPORT=D. This puts so many hardware samplers to shame and makes it on paper the best drum machine around. ........However this app NEEDS PROPER MIDI/COREMIDI SYNC to be used in a professional context live and with that it will be the Drum Machine to beat for ages to come..... something like a korg electribe protocol where it can turn off all data except the clock tempo sync. thats in my opinion the most important feature for a drum machine, syncing to all your gear, but i guess to each his/her own.Version: 4.0.1
✓ Amazing AppMore options than you can shake a (drum) stick at! Easy to use and looks great. Fantastic range of sounds from acoustic to classic to bizarre and hard to find, they've even got my old Mattel pad set from the 80's! Fully customisable on virtually every level, you can create your own kits from the sounds provided and mangle them to hell and back. Full range of export and sharing facilities you can even export your part/song as stems. If there were more stars to give I would..Version: 5.1.1
