8 of 25I 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
I use this app for teaching… Guitar and bass. It used to default to the last pattern I wrote, which was useful… now it always goes to this “song,” and I have to go through a few more steps and rewrite my pattern. By default distortion is turned on… I don’t know if it just doesn’t make sense.
I want to give this app a higher rating because it’s awesome in its concept, I’m having a few issues though. When running with audio bus I have to go to the IPad settings each time and turn the microphone off and back on for the app to “wake up”, and it reverts back to 110BPM and gets stuck there each time I transfer a beat to GarageBand..it has worked as advertised just once.. all available instructions are being followed
This 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.
It 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
Limited to 9 samples for a kit. Why? Each kit has different samples but show up with the same labels. Using a studio kit, the sample listed as “hhopen” is a snare sample, for example, rather than open hats. When building a song, you are directed to long tap your patterns and drag them into the sequence. This works only sometimes. For the most part, you’re sitting there repeatedly tapping and holding, waiting for the app to select your pattern so you can drag it. I just wasted $5
Great 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.
Easy, intuitive and versatile!
