Elastic Drums for Positive User Reviews
✓ Best iOS Drum SynthesizerAre you looking for the best drum synth on iOS? Look no further. This is the most comprehensive drum synth available for your iOS devices. 6 sequencer tracks (all with tempo multiplier, and variable track length), each track has a choice of synthesis engines and FX options to twist and mangle sounds into something completely different. With automation of sequencer, fx and synth parameters, this will provide you with the ultimate techno/industrial/experimental rhythm experience you can have on your iPad and iPhone - This is not an acoustic/rock drum machine. Ableton's Link technology, song mode, and now multitrack recording round off what is without a doubt, the best 'drum synth' on iOS. This is a labour of love for the developer , and it shows. I love it, I use it every day. What more can I say ? Buy it, well worth it..Version: 1.9.5
✓ Needs AUV3!This app is and always has been stunningly innovative - just brilliant. Please please develop for AUV3 as this would be FANTASTIC. Don’t mind paying for an update!.Version: 2.4.7
✓ FantasticGreat sound and features, and dev is very open and aware of what is needed midi control wise to make this an all in one performance instrument. Love this app..Version: 1.6.1
✓ Fantastic groovebox!I’ve been using ElasticDrums since it first came out and it’s always been an amazing box of tricks. It has so many awesome synthesizer engines, a pretty competent sampler to import your own sounds, great variety of FX, intuitive interface, and it just calls at you to use it. My favorite synth is the DLC Merz synth named after my favorite japanoise producer, Merzbow. I’ve made so many sick noisy patches using that synth engine alone. Anyway, I can recommend this app 100%. If you want something that can make full tracks from scratch on your phone, you won’t be disappointed with this one. PS. oh and how can I forget the awesome Jam mode!? It lets you easily turn your song patches into fun live performances with a ton of extra FX and parameters to manipulate your track..Version: 2.3
✓ This is super.It's called Elastic Drums because you can elasticate every drum/voice/synth. Beautiful interface and once you get the hang of it's brilliant automation facilities (what a word!) it becomes immense. But like a lot of iOS apps, it's more about what you don't play...the precious space is often taken up with washes and essing. But that's true of lots of PC/Mac synths too..Version: 2.1.5
✓ Okay, This Tears It!I have bought and tried several drum/rhythm/percussion arrangers in the iOS universe. This one TEARS IT UP!! Everyone else can go home. This is the most flexible “drum machine” out there. I could go on too long about this, but let it suffice to describe its major distinguishing features. First EVERYTHING, every knob tweak and setting can be recorded into the pattern. And ALL of those live changes will play back exactly as recorded. This give you the abilty to alter the sound of each instrument from subtle variations to drastic changes in real time. And there are so many possible parameters that this makes ElasticDrums (ED) incredibly flexible and you can create a huge number of variations in each pattern. Moreover, each pattern can have its own instrument assignments AND all those recorded knob-twiddlings which apply to everything from basic volume settings to FX levels and changes. It is so flexible that each pattern can actually be a totally separate and different piece of music, if you want, especially when you throw in all the live-performance bits including the very useful “jam” feature which lets you perform on this ap in real time in very creative ways. Second, the workflow is very familiar to anyone used to using synthesizers. Sounds are drawn from acoustic and electronic samples and tones synthesized within ED itself. Synthesizer elements like Envelope Generators and Filters abound. While there is a sizable library of different samples, the ability to load your own samples into the sample library is essential and ED gives you a lot of control over the sample variables once loaded into an instrument slot. Third, the workflow is also very clear and obvious while still being very flexible. It does not lock you into one way of working. Fourth, there are several VERY useful features. One is the ability to set each row in the sequencer to its own time frame. Not only can you set the number of steps within the larger phrase, you can multiply and divide the phrase length itself, PER EACH INSTRUMENT, in each pattern. This is HUGE because it allows you to create VERY long phrases WITHIN shorter ones or vice-versa. Fifth, on my iPad Pro, ED is very responsive and fast. It responds instantly. I have not noticed any lags or delays in performing any of its diverse functions. Improvements? I wish it had more than 6 instrument rows. That problem is mitigated somewhat by the afore-mentioned phrase-length feature combined with all those other variables. Taken together with all these features you can create the impression that there are MANY more instruments being used in your composition. But at any given moment a maximum of 6 sounds are possible. So it is difficult to not want MORE instruments per pattern. The program has four FX channels, which is great; but you can effectively only use two at a time. I wish we could use all four FX chanel’s simultaneously. Despite these vague short-comings, this is by far THE MOST versatile and musical “drum machine” I have ever seen, including all the hardware units. It is more like an actual musical instrument than it is a “machine”. You cannot do better than ElasticDrums. I don’t think anyone will top this ap anywhere in the near future. Buy it!.Version: 2.1.5
✓ Love this app! But please help!Crashing when going into background mode! Everything is updated. Please don’t tell me I have to uninstall/reinstall TM.Version: 2.3
✓ A must haveI have well over a hundred iOS audio apps. I have been beta testing apps for eight years and have seen many come and go. I have seen many abandoned or sequel versions come about and forcing you to cough up extra cash or the dreaded ‘subscription’ model. This app is none of those. It is a SOLID drum machine with all the bells and whistles. This is literally my fave drum machine for iOS. If you make any beats on an iOS platform then this will most def be a mainstay in your app aresenal. Priced very fair for all that it does and the in apps are also priced fairly. There are many drum apps and I own a lot of them but I find myself returning to this app more than all of the others. If you are into electronic music or production you need this app. Solid..Version: 2.3
✓ Great app - brilliant developerAsked a question and within a few hours he had answered. Proper cool app 👍.Version: 2.3
✓ Unique and IntuitiveAlot of apps take a while to get your head around. Elastic Drums has an amazingly well laid out and simple interface but with ability to create amazingly complex and layered tracks. The synth engine under this is great and though it is titled as a drum synth, with the effects layers, pitchable sounds and recordable automation of almost every parameter and effects it is capable of basses, melodic sounds and tuned atmospheric sounds as well. Great for deep sounding edm,/idm and even glitchy ambient. The randomizer for sound creation is great and allows you to really tailor your own kits and sound. An amazing app that keeps getting more amazing with every update.Version: 1.7.4
✓ Really Nice on iPadSampler is a sweet addition to an already powerful groove development and performance playground. Extra star for being a responsive, proactive dev. I am absolutely loving this drum synth & sequencer. The sound sculpting capabilities are much deeper than your average drum synth and the automation tools open many possibilities..Version: 2.1.6
✓ InspiringI love this drum machine. But no AUv3. So no state saving in host apps. :(.Version: 2.4.7
✓ Stands out as a unique music appED is one of those music app I recommend to my people who need real control over electronic drum sounds. It offers automation of parameters in a way that allows your sounds to breathe and evolve. Flexible steps (1-16) and tempo rates (current tempo x .5-4.0) make for interesting polyrhythms. I found exports to be a bit less intuitive and would love to see a 1-touch export-all-stems-as-individual tracks option yet still reach for this app both when mobile as well as when in the studio for that unique sound. From subtle to brash, all from this phone app. Bonus: developer has been consistently responsive and friendly..Version: 1.7.3
✓ Dead dead goodIntuitive and easy to create with, versatile with the iaps, though I can't figure out how the sample offsets are calculated, would also be nice if you could either edit automation on iPhone or use the velocity editing for multiple parameters....Version: 2.3
✓ Brilliant app!Love it! get this!.Version: 2.2.2
✓ IncredibleThere’s nothing else like it.Version: 2.3
✓ One of the bestAwesome drum machine with great depth for fx automation in sequencing patterns. The drum synth is capable of such a range that it can function as a useful tool for sound design as well as creating more straightforward beats..Version: 1.9.5
✓ Awesome electronicaThis has to be the number one drum machine app for ferocious elektro beats. Amazing flexibility, depth and control, great random functions. The dev is committed to improving and increasing functionality, partners well with a host of other music making apps, does IAA and audiobus. Loads of quality presets to get you started, highly recommended..Version: 1.9.5
✓ Favourite drum machine.Flexible and great sounding, Best drum machine on the App Store!.Version: 1.9.5
✓ Just the JobDid some research on drum synth apps and took note of reviews on forums and stuff prior to buying this one; I'm quite new to the principles of sound synthesis so I wanted something that wasn't TOO bananas and technical, but I wanted full control over the drum sounds being generated. I also wanted a drum synth which would talk to other music apps. Elastic Drums does all the stuff I want it to, plus it is crazy fun! I could sit on it all day long and never talk to anyone ever again. Author has obviously worked really hard on the app, and is quick to respond to technical queries which is really good. The app supports external midi triggers, also cool, but the interface is really simple to use..Version: 1.5.3
✓ Beast Drum MachineCapable of standard drum machine duties to full scale sonic mayhem. Recommended!.Version: 1.9.5
✓ STILL needs state saving with AudioBusThe app is probably the current number 1 for purely synthetic drums. All it needs now is state saving for use with AudioBus, and more banks. Sometimes, 6 just aren't enough. Nic.Version: 1.5.1
✓ Best way to make music on iOSAfter 30 seconds of using this app and seeing what it could do I was pretty much hooked. Look no more if you want to create really organic sounding beats in a super flexible way. The automation feature is so useful! This app is basically my production environment at this point— You will not regret this purchase!.Version: 1.5.3
✓ 💚The best drum synth for iphone..Version: 2.1.5
✓ ?!?!Midi sync implemented!… A great and hands-on drum/synth just got better. Plays well with my setup now…… Good work O.G. … Mouse on Mars too, for getting the word out. Cheers, Rex..Version: 1.2
✓ Great app, however...And, well, maybe I'm just 'using it wrong' on my iPad Air 2 but I get the impression that the feature that prevents all the fx from being used on 'lesser machines' has also been switched on for this machine (I only see 1 and 3) which, given that it has a pretty good processor, is probably just an oversight. Just one to check when the universal app gets released!.Version: 1.2
✓ It is the best but hasn’t been treated as suchIt’s an old app now but it’s still my favourite and for very good reasons. I am however confused as unfortunately it appears that development has ceased and it’s game over here which doesn’t make any sense to me considering how brilliant it is. Is it fair to give 4 stars for this reason? - I don’t really care because I’m extremely annoyed..Version: 2.4.7
✓ Very Deep - UPDATEThis is one of the best apps on iOS. You can get beats out of this you’d not get anywhere else. Any negative comments you see here are user error in one form or another! Hooray ED! You can get some great beats right away but you can dig into and find more and more possibilities. Listen through a decent sound system. Big bottom! Looking forward to the iPad version..Version: 2.4.1
✓ A glitch masterpieceGreat for making experimental beats and grooves that push boundaries. If you want to create EDM that stretches minds, this is an amazing tool..Version: 2.3
✓ ESSENTIAL. It beats a lot of hardware tooI’ve used this for years and my love has only deepened. Get it. Get the Sampler IAP too and load on some folders from your favorite drum machines/ packs etc. (Built in sounds are fun but I don’t love them without postprocessing. But I brought in some drums from Samples From Mars and holy smokes it’s perfect.) It’s ideal for coming up with an assortment of loops, not for painstaking composition of a song. It’s ideal for movement by accident and playful approach, not control. The dynamic of Constraints → Creativity is strong here These loops become parts of real songs for me when I bounce them out to audio. I usually send through some tone shaping (Analog Heat and/or cassette tape, lately), then capture in Hokusai (ipad), Ableton and/or Beatmaker (ipad), then have clips I arrange like any others. So yeah don’t worry about arranging in the app if that’s not fun for you. I treat it more like an instrument than a DAW. I have it on iphone and ipad and use it often on both. On ipad I frequently pair it with Patterning 2. ED winds up doing the weirder stuff and then I use Patterning to “ground” it with more solid and straightforward drums, but longer-form patterns, probability, etc. Patterning can also do tonal parts better. Also goes well with Bram Bos’s stuff but hey what doesn’t!!! I also use on ipad this with a host (apematrix or AUM), and Korg Sync Kontrol (panned to one side and you pan the audio to the other side), and a TRRS splitter, together with hardware : Teenage Engineering Pocket Operator, namely Tonic and KO. Hours and hours and hours of fun in the park, on plane, etc. and of course at home too. for what it’s worth I have used (and mastered) plenty of moreso-“pro” equipment for samplers and drums, including Ableton/Push and others. Yet these days I use the above setups more often (as far as drums and samples go), and it’s not for lack of time etc. It’s just more fun and I wind up with more interesting and inspiring material. Get it..Version: 2.2.1
✓ Incredible possibilitiesBy a long way, the best and most advanced drum machine I’ve ever seen, and quite possibly the best in existence. The amount of control and sound manipulation is astonishing..Version: 2.2.1
✓ Mind BlowingIf you like synth beat machines, you'll love this, it kept me awake into the small hours! Well the best keeps on getting better, now with sample mutation, yes mangle, mutate, fully automate to rhythmic chaos, or just be plain boring, it's your choice, just so much fun..Version: 1.9.5
✓ I love the Elastic appsI have been using elastic drums from day one, and I love it still. I really enjoy the workflow and design, it’s very appropriate for the way I think about some drum sound design. I do have a problem for the past couple of years though, inter app audio is not very consistent, buggy, crashes and generally does not play nice with Cubasis (which I use about 99% of the time). It’s not a elastic drums issue, it’s an inter app audio issue. It happens with all other apps that use inter app audio. I’m at the point that I just won’t use apps that only use inter app audio. I would love to dive back into using elastic drums, but every single time I use elastic drums I have a crash before I get to render anything. This may have something to do with the fact that I really push the cpu on my mixes, but with AU3’s I generally don’t loose much data when I have a crash, and with au3’s crashes happen way less frequently. Freezing tracks with inter app audio doesn’t help, and I try simply rendering elastic drums tracks outside of using cubasis, but it makes it difficult to easily make changes to a things if I have to render, export and then import for each and every change. It’s a big hassle that kind of gets in the way of using the app/flow. Again I don’t think it has anything to do with the way the app is made. Elastic apps are rock solid. Inter app audio is not rock solid and really is making its way out. Hopefully other developers will see this and convert their apps to au3 primarily..Version: 2.4.7
✓ Apps like this one makes me...Love my iPad. It is such a pleasure being comfortably seated in my chair and having fun playing Elastic Drums. Great app. Very intelligent design. Beautiful interface (more skins maybe). I have almost all meaningful drum machines in the app store and this is one of the best and combines simplicity of use with the great sound. Highly recommend..Version: 1.5.3
✓ Elektron Flavor!!Very cool looking UI and even better sound! It is like having a poor man's MachineDrum or MonoMachine from Elektron in my pocket. Elastic Drums gives you six independent drum synths. Each synth can be triggered using a 16 step sequencer. The cool part is that up to 12 parameters (pitch, effects, panning, grain synth effect, etc.) can be adjusted and saved per step in a sequence via automation! The creative potential is inspiring and very deep as a result. Sound quality is really good and it is Audiobus compatible. Moreover, you can chain patterns (with automation in tact) to create entire drum tracks. Just like Elektron stuff the program is a little confusing at first. But like the hardware it is imitating, exploration is generally rewarded with high quality results! Good stuff!.Version: 1.1
✓ Double Plus GoodI've been using iOS devices for music for a while now and have been waiting for someone to design my perfect drum app. And finally here it is! Maximum sonic flexibility, insane automation, crazy beats. A whole rack of open ended drum synth modules with a flexible sequencer and a bunch of wild fx. This app is so much fun. The promised developments (Audiobus, iPad version, even deeper automation etc.) will make what is a great app near perfect. It"s taken less than a day to become one of my top music apps..Version: 1.0
✓ WarpedMy favourite app to build percussive sounds on, warped, synthetic and wonderful.Version: 1.7.4
✓ Unique and creative!**update** The introduction of samples into this amazingly versatile drum machine has sent it over the top! Not only do you get more sound out of this app, but you can import or record your own sounds!!! Incredible machine with some very "tweakable" sounds! You can get very old school with this beast or create some very modern unique sounds. The layout is user friendly, so I guarantee you'll be laying down some patterns and linking up a song in no time! This app stays fresh and gets frequent updates not just to fix bugs, but to make improvements and enhancements! I'm very pleased to have bought this fun, creative app!.Version: 2.0.1
✓ Now working. And it's AWESOME!Wow-O-woW.Version: 1.5.1
✓ Great drum machinePerfect for on-the-go beats. I've made a ton of drum loops with ease..Version: 1.9.5
✓ Brilliant, powerfulEasy mayhem, great sounds. What's not to like?.Version: 2.1.4
✓ Top drum app.One of my fav drum apps just had a super update sampler and automation, velocity curves being the hi light. Go buy now..Version: 1.9
✓ The Boss!My new fave drum synth which is the best I’ve found on the App Store..Version: 2.3
✓ This beatmaking app is perfectYou can get lost having fun with this, so get it now!.Version: 1.9.5
✓ Excellent appAll but nails it..Version: 2.2.3
✓ Wicked machineElastic Drums is an amazing drum machine, I can highly reccomend the IAPs.Version: 2.3
✓ Versatile but missing auv3 supportGreat app with lots of fun sound design tools but boy is it hard to get audio from this in 2024 without auv3 support. Sure, I could AUM or Audiobus it, but given its sister app has this features and is at the same price point, it would be a welcomed quality of life improvement..Version: 2.4.8
✓ Yes!Excellent app in development here. Inter connectivity imminent. An iPad version on its way. Groovy!.Version: 1.0
✓ Exceptionally awesomeI love a good drum machine app but they all are too infrequent. Lately there have been some worthy new additions. This is one of them. I resisted this for awhile until the app went universal and tried it out. I was not really expecting anything interesting but within minutes made one of the best beats I had produced in a good long while. Finding a good iOS drum synth has been a problem for awhile - the ones with good sound seem to suffer from various user interface clunkiness and the ones that offer smoother interfaces unfortunately just all sound predictable and uninspiring. This one sounded great before even getting to the extremely fun and impressive FX panel, the quality of which is not exceeded in any other mobile app. If this doesn't change your perspective on mobile drum synthesis then nothing so far released will..Version: 1.5.2
✓ YesThe more I play with it the more fun it becomes. Well worth it..Version: 2.1.9
✓ Terrific Drum Synth/SequencerElastic Drums is very accessible yet deceptively powerful. You get 6 instruments and load of presets to get you started. These can be anything from a snare to a kick drum to even a bass note or stab. The interface makes it easy to preview sounds as you tweak them with easy-to-find parameters. You can lay things out in the sequencer, and export wav files to AudioShare, email, etc. But the real fun of this app comes in the effects and automation. You can apply effects to individual instruments, or master effects like freezing and filter sweeps. There's even a pretty useful randomization feature for inspiration. A few key features - including AudioBus and IAA, plus a true iPad version - are missing at launch, but I still give it 5 stars because the features are promised in the near future, and the app is very promising. Similar to SeekBeats in terms of sound design, but I think this one will end up being more accessible..Version: 1.0
✓ AwesomeLove it Super cool Try it, you will also like it if you love great drum machines ☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️😎.Version: 1.9.5
✓ It does work on ipad 2. You just need to delete and reinstallI really like Elastic Drums, its universal, has great midi, the recent updates has made it more intuitive and the sampler adds to it's versatility. For me it's the best drum machine..Version: 1.9.5
✓ Versatile Drum MachineIn my experience this is the best drum machine currently available on iOS, an unbeatable combination of synthesised and sampled options with an almost infinite amount of flexibility in regards to audio manipulation, added to this are versatile effects and an operating system which is easy to learn but has amazing depth. A must have weapon in the iOS musical arsenal..Version: 1.9.5
✓ Brilliant app. Great support.Fantastic app for ease of use and pure inspiration as well as professional features when you need to export / mixdown. The Dev is also extremely responsive. One of my favourite Groovebox apps by one of my favourite developers..Version: 2.4.7
✓ Amazing, brilliant & awesomeElastic Drums is easily the best sounding and most creative beat maker installed on my iPhone. I've created about 15 different beats during my commutes home since installing it. I can't praise it enough. The sounds are awesome and so tweakable. The quality is amazing. The defaults have been smartly chosen for the best instant results. It's not perfect, the effects pad isn't as immediate or repeatable as you'd like and it's easy to trip it up when you mute and un-mute instruments. But seriously, buy this. You will not regret it. Warning though - it's addictive :).Version: 1.5.3
✓ Five Star GloryholeArguably the best drum machine app out there. I import the drum beats into Garage Band and then if it’s avant security guard ready, Logic Pro. In the next release, I can’t wait to install this app into my brain..Version: 2.3
✓ More serious than you thinkI've popped for a bunch of drum machines on the App Store, looking for the one that feels like hardware, that feels pro, that inspires. This is it. No matter the genre your into, this app kills it. And if your looking for an app to turn you into autechre, you won't find it... but, Elastic drums will give you the best head start. BUY IT NOW!.Version: 2.1.3
✓ Love itThis is hands down my favorite drum sequencer Built in effects and easy automation makes for smooth workflow. Also the multi channel out is good for those who need it.I don’t personally ,but I like that it’s there.Version: 2.4.4
✓ Stellar.While there are numerous drum machine apps - this one is spectacular. If sound options ranging from sample to various types of synthesis, to independent beat cycle lengths doesnt grab your attention, surely the ability to perform the playback switching in real-time will! There’s plenty more fun to be had here..Version: 2.4.8
✓ Best drum machine app for iOS in my opinionABILITY to add your own sounds along with the flexibility and extensibility of the available drum synthesizers Makes this super useful. Being able to easily randomize entire patterns, projects, instruments, sequences, etc. makes us extremely useful for generating good rhythm’s in midi/daw. The effects a lot of fun, And I appreciate that uses the same Maddie notes as standard Ableton.Version: 2.3
✓ One of the best digital drum/sample machinesThis is one of the best drum machines on the iOS market, made by real dedicated musicians. The on-the-fly changes make for great options of creativity and diversion and the UI makes it easy to navigate even without a MIDI device. If I were to suggest one thing it would be to allow us to change the color scheme; especially with the new OS it would be really great to have some new colors and would certainly drive me to get the FX bundle. Thanks for all your hard work, folks!.Version: 2.3
✓ Underrated - This is a Gem!I’ve recently gotten back into Elastic Drums and find myself amazed at how little I had thought about it compared to what it does. This app truly lives up to its tagline “The Flexible Drum Machine”. My goodness, you can do everything with this! Everything from Electribe drum and sampler type madness to old school 808 and even plain ol’ acoustic rock drumming. There’s an amazing array of useful synths and most importantly a good sampler which you can build your own kits with. The power available here easily outshines 1000’s of dollars of equipment, and all in a nice neat package. Sure, there are some in-app purchases needed to really leverage all the capabilities, but they’re reasonably priced and help keep the development going. Developers gotta feed their families too. The iPhone interface is surprisingly well thought out too. Highly recommended!.Version: 2.1.3
✓ Is there anything ED can't do?This is a must-have. Pure Groovebox genius. Loop and song export of each stem, including Ableton Live Project export. Powerful sample instrument, automation-o-rama synth(s) powerhouse. Live mode, including live recording, features go on and on, and dev keeps adding them. Buy it, and buy the dev a nice dinner too.Version: 2.3
✓ Ed4life10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10...nothing else to right (write for u pros out there)✌🏽✌🏽✌🏽✌🏽✌🏽.Version: 2.3
✓ I LOVE this app (but it really needs some update love!)Thank you thank you developer(s) for this amazing app. Soo many powerful features in this ultra powerful drum machine/percussive sound design/sampler tool!! The drag+record automation on the synth/sampler params, fx =Amazing!! Being able to record/export stems is massively useful. And of course Ableton Link, nuff said. There's so much good in this app for the price, its crazy! But as for the "update love" mention in my review title (i.e. 4 stars): can we please PLEASE get the audio glitches when switching between presets that use the sampler, fixed? Even with my buffer all the way up (1024) it's still glitchy as it, I presume, needs to buffer all the samples from one preset to the next. This preset load glitching is really bad for during live performances. Also for live performances, we really need to be able to midi map to the global EQ/Volume (but also mapping to tempo, tempo X, & compressor would be amazing) Also trying to build songs in the pattern view is painful- without an "insert empty/remove" pattern option (button? which would shift all subsequent patterns from the one selected up/down). Having to copy/delete dozens of times to make new space in the song list... oof. And I hope one day we see an automatable note probability knob per track added in (and the ability to automate length/sequencer rate division knobs would also be stellar!) Ok ok enough feature dreaming/creeping! Sorry not sorry ;) Honestly if we could at least just get the audio glitches when switching presets (that use sampler) fixed, that will surely bump this app back up to 5 stars in my book. I still love this old but gold app regardless!.Version: 2.4.7
✓ Stretch that beat!Great synth drums, automation and fx. Dev keeps up to date with new features added. Can be used for many genres, but excels at hard hitting electronic grooves. The new update of separate record out Stems to AudioShare is fantastic. Thank you for developers that listen to their customers..Version: 1.7.5
✓ Oh boy this is funLong press on the automation button and wow. Great sounds that you can make and customize in infinite ways. What a fantastic app this is for anyone making electronic music. Super duper interface. A must have app. Perfect for anyone who enjoys music making. And the Dev keeps on coming out with improvements and new stuff. How can anyone not want to have fun making music?.Version: 2.1.5
✓ Great experimental drum synthElastic Drums is a great app for a wide range of electronic drum sounds. The app does have its own signature sound, and (at least in my experience) it leans towards edgier and weirder sounds than the classic x0x palette. But that's not a bad thing—if your tastes lie in more aggressive or experimental music, you will love it, and I have no doubt it can be tamed to do other sounds as well, especially with the new sample functionality. With per part sequence length and speed options, recordable step modulation of synthesis parameters and effects, and great global performance controls, there is so much room for variation that this is a wonderfully flexible creative tool..Version: 1.9.5
✓ AmazingThere are a lot of apps dealing with rhythm. Usually these are dealing with sounds that we are familiar with in western drumming. Sometimes these extend to ,maybe, unusual unfamiliar percussion. This app can contain any sound, which you can edit prior to using in your “kit”. It just seems to be able to create a groove with very little effort. The midi capabilities are comprehensive I understood how to apply midi controllers twiddly bits to experience a full on performance. I’m an mididiot and I get it. You should give it a try just for the fun of it..Version: 2.4.7
✓ Amazing funIf you’re into experimental production and/or drum creation, then I recommend this app! As a sound designer, I love the different engines in the app that help create original drums (every time if you would like) as well as the automated effects (and pretty much everything else!) Also I think it’s important to mention they have randomize on individual sounds, as well as patterns and all sounds at once! One of my favorite apps for experimental drums for sure..Version: 2.3
✓ Top marks!Well, what a surprise - having bought several other drums apps, tried this one and it nails it! Full of features and the ability to craft sounds, Elastic Drums is presented in a straightforward way and doesn’t take long to learn, and once you do it really opens up the sonic palette. I was able to dial in a fantastic kick easily and am having a great time sculpting + modulating + saving sounds (no difficult effort, unlike some other apps!) Add to this the mixer, effects and jam sections as well as the further option to import samples and this is hands-down the best drum app on iOS. Brilliant!.Version: 2.3
✓ GreatDefinitely one of the best drum apps out there if not the best. It is the only one I ever use and I am looking forward to more updates to see what they bring..Version: 1.6.1
✓ AwesomeLoving this drum synth. so much fun jamming with this and playing a different synth..Version: 1.9.5
✓ A world of possibilities; needs AUv3 though.There’s nothing else out there that comes close to Elastic as a total package; one could easily compose entire tunes with nothing else, and I often find myself wishing other apps had just a few of the features it boasts. However… While I know there are workarounds, the lack of AUv3 integration in a world that forgets IAA a little more every year - especially in terms of hosting DAWs - means that it gets used less and less all the time in favor of other apps and combinations thereof. Developer: PLEASE don’t let this one fall into obsolescence..Version: 2.4.7
✓ Elastic Drums, your flexible friend!Elastic Drums is a fully featured drum and groove machine with a ton of great presets but lots of tweakability and, via a cheap IAP, the ability to import your own samples! So it becomes a fully fledged groove machine!.Version: 2.4.3
✓ New update March 2021Was waiting for this update for so long so it would work again on my new iPad Pro as it was totally broken before. And the new design and everything is amazing, all the bugs were completely fixed and new stuff too!!!! So nice to have it be full screen on new iPads!!! So happy I can use this app again and that it got even better and better looking..Version: 2.4
✓ Update!Yes what a gem and getting stronger.Version: 2.2.1
✓ Makes my commutes funAbsolutely blazing app. Really fast to get to grips with and incredibly powerful too. Can be a great way of making loops which you could even use in other apps such as Launchpad should you wish. Really fun to live jam straight on this app, and I’ve had no issues syncing to external hardware either. Sound quality is what you make it - pristine if you want it but there are plenty of options to obliterate a sound and get some absolutely raucous filth flowing..Version: 2.1.8
✓ At first I didn't get itThe actual drum synthesis takes a little time to learn how to get the sound your after but there are nice presets if that's your thing. Make no mistake, to get the most out of the app you are encouraged to go nuts tweaking everything. A VERY simple drum pattern can come to life by recording automation on as many parameters as you can, adding velocity automation to as many parameters you can. Then you take it to the jam screen and wow. The param button alone can let you jam an entire performance out of one pattern. The app definitely lives up to its name. I only wish there was an app that does all this same stuff just as easily but for melodies and chords..Version: 1.8
✓ Elastic DrumsCrazy sounds and sub-sonic beats is what this app is about. Link it with Ableton Live or just use as is = awesome..Version: 2.0.3
✓ Hands down winnerI have produced music for over 15 years and this drum machine is a creative gem! It sounds superb. It links with Ableton so getting everything to line up is a breeze. Cannot fault it. It is now my go to electronic drum source. Goodbye sad vsti plugs:).Version: 1.7.2
✓ Best drumSynth out thereLove it from very 1st moment I made something on it. Sounds great and alive... Get it!!!.Version: 1.2
✓ Great update!Elastic drums is a classic. Multi output is great Fyi when everything is assigned to multiout, fx sends don’t work..Version: 2.4
✓ Fun appDefinitely worth the price for some experimental sounds. I wish it was easier to do some glitchy stuff though..Version: 2.1.9
✓ Make your sound.ED is a great drum app with endless tweaking. Great updates with Link and the new sampler (iap). A truly unique and useful beatmaking tool..Version: 1.9.5
✓ Great drum synth, add AU and individual outs and it would be AmazingI have been scouring the web to find a simple yet dynamic drum synth and this is well on its way to becoming just that! I managed to keep myself entertained for a several hours making ‘live’ techno on one pattern! (Adjusting it on the fly). I love how far you can stretch a sound with this... seriously, with a couple nice fx on it there is a lot to play with and evolve over time. Absolutely part of my regular arsenal now. All I need to give it 5 stars is - Individual track outs and AU. I’m sure this has been requested.... I don’t think it needs much else, because everything else you can do in a host channel strip just fine... Not to say I wouldn’t like more drum synths to choose from, or FX..., but srsly, please get me individual outs and I will be all lollipops and rainbows about this nearly perfect beast of an app!.Version: 2.1.5
✓ No. 1Hands down by far the best drum synth app ever. Very much has it's own dark character..Version: 2.2
✓ Epic drum synth with great connectivityThis is now one of my main go to drum apps for unique sounds. The drum synths are great and can create a wide array of sounds, the modulation / automation ensure nothing is stale or repetitive and with IAA Audiobus and Link, the app plays nice with all other apps / DAWs etc. All in all a very programmable and unique drum app with a great dev who has been listening to the community and adding regular updates. No brainer, buy now!.Version: 1.9.5
✓ Elastic Drums is Grrrrrrreat!Elastic Drums is Grrrrrrreat! And now with the ability to import your own samples, this makes it even Grrrrrrreater. Only thing left for this one now, is AUv3.. Elastic Drums is so stretchable - maybe they should have called it 'Elastic Band' get it.. tough crowd! Can't have too many drum machines (maybe) and this is one of the iOS favs. :) King - Review updated 13 April 2017 -.Version: 2.0.2
✓ Awesome Drum SynthA awesome drum synth app. Very easy to use, great features (the automation of the different parameters is wicked) and sounds PHAT! Don't be shy...Version: 1.2
✓ Killer App!Totally worth the money! It's highly functional, and the sounds are very malleable. It's able to produce a wide range of drum sounds..Version: 1.8
✓ RTFantastically good, can go very deep in discovering new ways to use it's Raw Power.Version: 1.5.3
✓ Mean asSweet flexible drum machine with a difference.Version: 2.1.8
✓ One of the best! Ideas for improvementHello. I love this app. Its flexible, fun to play, and a powerful musical tool. The main thing i think could be reworked is in the arrange section/song mode/chaining If these areas were improved this app would be the perfect drum solution for me. Ideas for improvement: Either Multiple looped sections rather than the one main loop which can change length by multiples of 4. Or the Ability to chain sequence loops together manually. Look to the keystep pro chaining for inspiration. Either of these would create a far more useable drum solution for multiple use cases. (Ie. Live) Also Setting to queue patterns rather than change instantly where playback is at could also aid in live performance settings. Maybe long press functionality…?.Version: 2.4.9
✓ Good stuff!!!Great version 1.0 Developer active, responsive and currently working on adding in the missing bits e.g. midi sync / mapping etc… If you like iElectribe and SeekBeats this is similar in that it’s a proper drum synth not yet another sampler and the UI is well thought out! One thing that is definitely different her wis the ability to set track length per part - very nice polyrythms are available here!!!.Version: 1.2
✓ Inconsistent timing glitchLove the features, i just with they actually worked. In a 16-step sequence, the 16th step never plays for the full duration. It sounds more like 15 ½ steps. I can’t find any workaround..Version: 2.4.6
✓ Awesome!The Ableton export feature is amazing. It actually keeps the individual tracks when opening in Ableton..Version: 2.1.5
✓ The only music app I seriously useElastic Drums is the not the only drum machine app I own, but it’s easily the best sounding one and the only music app I seriously use in the many I’ve purchased. It’s super fun to use and the algorithms have many sweet spots with only a few parameters. Most other apps are either FM (challenging to work with) or wavetables, which in my opinion isn’t really synthesis. Elastic Drums sets itself apart in a world of boring and lame synth apps on iOS. The synthesis sounds fantastic, I can’t believe I can get great sounding drums out of my phone/iPad. If I had any feedback, it would be that having a bit more control of the synthesis would be nice, but if that means sacrificing sound quality, forget it. I love that I can share presets/beats across to my other devices using Airdrop so every device has everything and I can pick up whatever’s close and continue my tracks. If you’re looking for a drum machine style app with great synthesis, buy it, you won’t regret it..Version: 2.3
✓ Top of the lineTop shelf app, does everything I need and then some. Would love to see in auv3 some day!.Version: 2.4.2
