Drumperfect Pro!?
This Will be interesting!
Comments
New app, or a free update for DP users?
New app.
I do not have it but the description of Pro finally got my spicy app senses tingling!
From earlier this year...
We will make sure to offer you, the current users of DrumPerfect, a smooth and affordable upgrade path via the app bundle model!
Release is scheduled for Q4 2015.
DrumPerfect has always been one of my favorites for how realistic the timing can sound. IMO, this offers the closest to human-sounding drumming on iOS. Also the ability to layer drum sounds spatially is very cool. My one beef was there's always been this kind of hitch in the UI's reaction to anything I do with it. You press to add a note in a sequence, and the latency to it being added was always just a bit too much for me to deal with. Excited to try DrumPerfect Pro!
DrumPerfect is a very cool product, and people who know drums have sworn that it's one of the best acoustic drum apps/samplers available. But I never could get it to run reliably on my iPad2, and never fully grasped the UI, even after they made some good additions later (like the grid mode, etc.). Pro version could be good news though for fans of the app, since that area of the rhythm market arguably remains underserved on iOS.
I am amateur at all things drums, but consider DrumPerfect to be one of the best/real apps serving this area. Do I end up using RDM, Drum Beats + etc a lot because of their ease of use/immediacy? Of course. But my imaginary better self would use DrumPerfect far more. Perhaps with Pro, if it's reasonably priced for existing customers, I will do so....
Love the idea of DP but the presets were few and I was always too lazy/lacked understanding/confused by the interface to try and make my own patterns. So the app just sat around collecting virtual dust for me. I would love if there were an IAP or expansion to buy sets of pre-made patterns in different styles.
Nice video, thanks for posting @firejan82 ,
...not mentioned in the video....you can stack up to 16 samples per instrument.... I tried with 8 per side works nicely (I was testing sequencer part)....
Makes nice variations per instrument, they are played randomly.
You can load pitched samples (per instrument) to create "melodies"
Can be sequenced externally with any sequencer or midi controller.
This is probably the most complete drum machine and closest to a Real drummer...
Lots of subtle tuning and tweaking to make it sound very naturally...
Looks great... like a few others here I own DrumPerfect but find it a bit difficult to get the best out of it. Hopefully this update makes the app more intuitive.
Does anyone know if this is an update to the original app?
This is a new app that will have a upgrade path for original Drum Perfect users.
@mgmg4871 Thanks for the info, I'll be happy to upgrade then.
Any new news on a release or just waiting till it releases LOLOL
Hopefully, it will be Link compatible?
Yes that would be great
I know that one of the first things I'll be asking moving forward (albeit from behind spread and doubtful fingers) will be "Link?" when any new app is released. Such a killer plus.
I actually have not (yet) gotten Auria Pro, GeoShred, or Kirnu Cream, but I will definitely get DPPro the minute it comes out! Link support would be humongous.
Damn! Just bought regular DrumPerfect on Christmas Day for $13.99 after reading about it on this forum. I hope the upgrade isn't too much. I love the program.
I predict Drumperfect Pro Godlike to come out next Christmas! Perfection is not what it used to be.
He told discount would come through a bundle option, so If you bought it at regular price, you'll have to pay less money that me, who bought it when was on (huge) sale.
I wish a better management for drum kits. Goodbye low memory warnings.
I am really excited about this.
I find myself always in a struggle over "ease of use" vs. overall drum quality, never feeling truly satisfied in either category.
the specs on this look incredible, what is it that is keeping drum perfect from being a home run for some of you?
I'm very curious as I'm contemplating the pro version heavily.
also a very important question for me is what's the quality of the 'fill' facilities, does it have any and what do you think of them?
It is a homerun. This is an instant purchase if they would only let me.
What do you mean with "fill facilities" though?
You can set probability for a drum hit to happen. Then you can chain those drum hits, basically making one pattern with multiple fills, with a low probability of any of them happening, but when they do happen, will trigger the full fill.
If you want a 100% certainty for a fill to happen I'd copy a pattern and make the fill there, with 100% probability. But you might be talking about something else?
I think what has held people back is that the "old" interface looked a bit crude and took some getting used to (which people didn't allow for). If DrumPerfect gets set up properly, and with a bunch of basic pre-set beats, it is actually really quick/fast to work in as you can copy/paste from multiple patterns into a new one.
Also, setting up the kits can take some time, I hope the new version has folders for the samples. Setting up 16 drums with 16 samples and getting it all right is well worth it, but is kind of time consuming, especially without folders. Again though, the sound quality makes it all worth it, and you only have to do those things once.
I want to like this, but the interface isn't user friendly for me. I never use a grid to program. I prefer a score or a piano role so I can manipulate the notes freely. I can do this through MTS but I'm not sure I'm able to take full advantage of the program that way.
One thing I tested, in "old" DrumPerfect (as the beta refused to install on my iPad Pro, due to UDID numbers etc), was to trigger DP via external midi (in my case my keyboard and/or other apps). It actually does the multi-sample magic even on external hits, so you can use it as a sound source.
You wouldn't however take full advantage of the app in the sense that probability settings/linking obviously wouldn't work etc. One of the beautiful things with DP is that if you set up your patterns cleverly, a handful of them can actually be enough for a complete song. They will admittedly sound slightly different each time (due to probability settings and random samples being picked), but hey, that is what a live drummer does too.
As I wasn't crazy about the acoustic drums samples in Patterning, I spent hours putting all my one-shot drum samples into a folder and slowly auditioning them to find my favorites. This pass is going to be much easier. There were many situations in there where there were a dozen snares and it was hard to decide.
For the kind of music I make, one drum set is fine. It will take me awhile, but I will make it into something pretty good. For fun I may make some sets out of my various latin and world music samples. I do hope there are folders to keep all this stuff straight.
The video doesn't mention that you can output each drum or percussion instrument to a separate track, which is one of the most important features for me.
It would be for me too. However, I suspect the v2.0 of DP actually has concentrated on the GUI parts and workflow in general, more so than the actual functionality of 1.0.5, except Marinus (the dev) might have added things. Not sure they have touched the export functionality, from the video it looks pretty much like in the "old" version.
That'd mean that you can export/render a song, you can get the different drums separated (but in one wav file, so you'd have to cut it up yourself) and/or a midi file.
However, you can of course also use DP as IAA, where you can load each of the instruments to their own track in your DAW and get the drum/channel specific audio that way. That is how it used to be, haven't looked at the beta if/how anything has changed in that regard (and as mentioned earlier, my iPad Pro refused to install the beta, so couldn't test further).
I hope it works smoothly on my ancient iPad4.
