Generative in that the swing is variable over three parameters which can be toggled independently. But not truly generative, like Garage Band.
Or better yet simply ignored.

A very good idea, Wim. Count me in the out box.
Yea. I'm done bothering too now. Will just ignore further outbursts and talk about the app only.
Not exactly generative, but as you increase the Jam level, it increasingly puts little variations into your rhythm and you can also set the frequency of fills. It does this in a very musical manner, sounds very human to my ears and is one of the joys of Luis' apps.
I'd like to see a bundle with Luis apps.

Really, really hoping for an AU version, where individual styles or custom combos could be loaded in as required.
I'm having an absolute blast with the app
As a Jamstix fan on the desktop, it's a blast to see Luis add more and more cool features to his drummer line.These apps are currently the easiest way for me to produce natural sounding drum parts quickly. Like many, I would love to see midi export!
+100
I was thinking the same yesterday, it would be cool to see these all combined into one app, with the styles as IAP.
I would not mind the addition of more patterns for rock drummer .
Anyone have any tracks yet in which they've used Soft Drummer? I've watched Doug's video, but would love to hear it in the context of a song. I have Rock Drum Machine, Funk Drummer, and Brazilian Drum Machine, and they are all excellent apps.
Just finished this one all drums come from this app
This.
I'm guessing the separate apps are the developer's way of coping with the app store economics of not bringing in significant additional revenue for improving apps. A master app with IAPs seems like it would be a good alternative.
I'm also guessing that not providing MIDI-out is another way of coping with this, but maybe wouldn't be so much of an issue if the "styles" were IAPs.
At the end of the day, the man's gotta put bread on the table one way or another. I don't hold that against anyone and I don't mind shelling out. But I dislike having a whole bunch of apps, each with slight variations of the same thing.
Very nice track! I love the subtle variations in Soft Drummer. Has a very human-like feel to it. Thanks for sharing this!
Good stuff and an example of how this isn't or doesn't have to be just jazz....
Because Johnny Hates Jazz.
Couldn't resist...
Short groove using Soft Drummer, AUM, Gadget, and Different Drummer..
@funjunkie27 Theme for an as yet uninvented Geisha Bar I think. They seem innocent but are not.
Excellent song title. Mite have to steal that one.
Johnny came from Chicago
got raised on the street
some place where they kill
and then cut up the meat...
@wim
Rats. Back to Gadget generated names once again.

One of my favourite 80's songs.
I recall Mickie Most, whose son was in the band, saying if it was a hit he'd stand naked in the window of Selfridges. The store replied that they didn't want anyone naked in their window, especially Mickie Most!
The Pork Pie Song, one of my favourite offal-related singalongs.
What about "The Liver Daylights"?
From the Ableton Link FAQs web:
" - Is Link capable of starting/stopping playback in linked apps?
No, Link does not send start/stop messages to connected apps. Anyone can start and stop their part while the others keep playing. "
https://www.ableton.com/en/help/article/link-faq/
Link always get the last BPM change of the connected apps. So if you don't want to change Link BPM, put the same tempo in Soft Drummer before connect to Link. You should apply the same to every Ableton Link app.
Nice track, @cuscolima .The drum sound with that strong compression is interesting.With your permission, can I share it on social networks?
Cheers!
@LuisMartinez thanks for your answer, but I'm talking about multiple Link apps playing on the same iPad.
In this case, most of apps that I use (except Gadget, and Patterning at the moment) can globally start/stop from the main start/stop button of Audiobus or Audioremote, or also AUM (this is the one I'm using because it can be assigned thru midi...)
The bug about loading at 80 bpm seems to be random, because Soft Drummer has Link activated, and locally other apps are running before it hase been launched, so it takes sometimes the right BPM, sometimes it push all the apps to 80...
Hope that make sense
Cheers !
@LuisMartinez : yes of course you can use it, my pleasure!
