Depending on the music... iMaschine 2 comes with great selection of sounds (IAP which is 1$ for whole collection if I'm not mistaken) and UVI BeatHawk - also really good drum sounds over there.
Also good old DM1 has really good samples of vintage drum machines - I even copied their samples to my desktop computer to my sample libraries and use quite frequently (love Linn sounds).
If you are into house, techno or trance music I think nothing replaces Waldorf Attack. Though factory sounds are pretty weird (I found them unusable) the drum synth is incredible - spend some time learning it and you can get amazing electronic drum sounds.
Attack is my talented yet indolent child. I suspect it capable of most things, but it stays up in the dark and try as I may I can rarely make it work...
So true. While I use DrumPerfect(Pro) and Patterning the most, I find that with minimal fuss I can coax great sounds out of Elastic Drums that tend to cut through a mix nicely.
I never get bored with SeekBeats but for a few sync issues. It's ease of use is impressing making good sounding sounds. And also has a live set approach which just works. Quite weak on the fx side(if only had a send reverb instead of that pretty intrusive chorus it would be enough for my needs)
And of course link
Any app that has a "Thump, Tsh, Clap, Crash, Bang, Whiz & Ting" Rhythm, needs Ableton Live. It's the only thing that has tamed the Midi Timing with other apps together smoothly on out beloved iPad/ iPhones.
Sorry I meant Ableton Link
That reminds me - some of the drums in figure are quite nice actually.
Had to delete Figure due to only working in portrait. I know it sounds silly, but I just don't like using my iPad in portrait
DrumPerfect Pro (with my own kits) + Patterning + the odd loop here and there takes care of 80% of my rhythm needs. I have most of the others, I just don't use them, often as I haven't worked them out or that they are limited in one way or another and therefore can't make sounds I would like them to. I too would give bonus points to Auria Pro + Drumagog though, who use up the final 20% of my drum needs.
I admit that sometimes we jam along to some basic loops in Launchpad
Indeed. I need to sample those suckers.
I hardly ever find a drum machine where I like all the sounds- so pasting in samples is the way to go for me. My favourite machine is DM1. Having been initially exited about iSpark- the instant randomise function and the easy sample allocation from Audioshare on the DM1 keeps me coming back. Having said that- I am about to lift all the sounds I like from iSpark into Audioshare.... in my initial excitement, I bought all the IAP packs.
It always make me feel weirdly old-school, but I love DM1.
DM1 sounds great and is dead easy to program. Song mode is wonky and I wish the mixer's step view was available in the grid (instead of the mixer) but DM1 is a classic. If it would reliably sync to other things I'd use it more often.
Same. And ATM cannot import samples from AudioCopy
Here is my take on it. I use Korg Gadget Bilbao for the drum programming. It comes with great sounds but I loaded the sounds folder with drum samples from my desk top. Nothing to mess with I assure you. I do think that patterning is a very mean drum sequencer but as far as SOUND is concerned I believe that loading external sounds is the best bet for great sounding drums
Sequencing Bilbao,Tokyo or London with patterning(probability...) across several scenes is a good way to get a lot of good material while still being able to edit. And it's very easy since link (although it was easy before too, there's no need to go back and forth between ext and int sync in gadget anymore)
For the record: Not having any problem audiopasting samples into DM1.
So for drums you recommend Bilbao over the other one?
From general clipboard is ok. But you can't have acces to the AudioCopy API and I couldn't find a way to send samples from AC to DM1 without making a copy in AudioShare, copying it to AudioCopy pasteboard and just then I'll be able to paste into DM1. Already contacted fingerlabs and they said they were working on it.
I made a few customs kits in Bilbao, it's nice to import your own samples, London is still my "go to" in gadget (it has everything you'd need and packs a lot of punch)
It's nice to have both
I don't have iPhone but couldn't pass up special so l got Bilbao. Thanks for the tip.
This.
With the latest FingerBeat update (see related thread), I have to say, as far as SOUNDS go, it's well worth the coin.
thanks. yeah, at this point, I'm more curious about the sounds than interface. I kinda figured Patterning was hands down for interface.
