Molten!
Molten has audiobus! Totally awesome drum app, get it here: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/molten-drum-machine/id398933969?mt=8

Are the Molten drum sounds from like the Roland 808, or are the acoustic drums and can your own samples be put into place with this app?
Thank you,
Shawn
This drum machine is great. Sample based, import your own samples. individual fx per sample. extensive MIDI, including virtual MIDI. I just tested it (iPad2, iOS 6) with Loopy HD with no problems (after reboot). It can even be set to start/stop with Loopy thru virtual MIDI! very nice.
One small request: fix how Molten is implemented in the Audiobus tab. Currently there are no Molten functions on the Audiobus tab (play, pause, or switch patterns) and Molten just has a grey button (not the molten icon). Minor details for such a great app getting audiobus.
Sounds pretty good about the sounds and midi and all that. I'll have to check it out.
Woohoo! Molten is great but one thing to know up front is that it doesn't have any kind of 'song' mode.
I'm really glad the developer decided to stick with it. He was going to moth ball it at one point. It's a great app!
You can export individual patterns as either rendered audio or General MIDI files. These can then be imported into a DAW and arranged into songs using cut and paste. I intend to use it as a way to fake changing time sigs in Meteor, as no iPad DAW currently allows this. At least in Meteor I can turn off measures and use timestamps instead.
Really big fan of Molten too so it's great to see it get Audiobus functionality.
It has an awful lot of sequencing power hidden away under it's (to my taste anyway) rather ugly interface design. I use it all the time in my studio to program drum sequences into Ableton as it has a super quick workflow (I only use the transmitted midi information and mute the internal sound engine - for those who were wondering). My favourite feature is the way it allows you to program with multiple note divisions which allows you to easily program triplets whilst generally using a 16th grid. The swing engine is great too.
I used it extensively whilst putting together the drum parts for this forthcoming remix of an early eighties 'old school' hop hop track I uploaded to Soundcloud today.
Highly recommended. Can't wait to use it as a drum sequencer triggering the likes of Animoog & Magellan!

I just bought this too.. Jon is right, looks ugly as old hell and stretched like it's an iPhone app. As soon as i can figure out how to get my own samples in here and figure out how to use it, this should be good.. But as it comes, it was a disapointing $5 to spend for sure.
Jon is exactly right about Molten. Built-in sounds are poor, but the ability to subdivide any beat of any instrument by any amount, very quickly, makes it trivial to create cool jazz patterns and triplet or sextuplet fills. For this reason alone it's my preferred drum app on the iPad. Most of the other drum apps tend to lock you into 4/4 time and some multiple of 16 steps.
Agreed, now that I've got it all figured out it is pretty decent.. Just SOOOOO ugly. Oh god it's hideous! LOL Only thing i can say besides obviously it needs a makeover is that it needs more then the 8 tracks. 8 is fine for some stuff.. but makes for a crappy metal or rock kit. Bass Drum, snare, hi-hat closed, hi-hat open, hi-tom, mid-hi-tom, mid-low-tom, low-tom, floor-tom and I'm already over the 8 tracks without even having the cymbals or alt velocity on any of the drums. It's pretty good but the FL Studio sequencer is still better IMO. Can't wait to see if that'll ever get Audiobus.
How would you use alt velocity in Molten?
Agreed.
Fan of Molten here too. Maybe not so sexy than DM1 but the note division feature alone is worth the price!
@PaulB I meant one sample of the drum hit hard and one of it hit softer and so on.. It's what i did in FLStudio.. end up with like 40 tracks per drumkit, but it's worth it.. Just saying I can't add enough tracks in Molten is all. Maybe they'll add more later. :-)
Molten lets you set a different velocity for each hit in a track. I'm surprised you have to do things differently in FLStudio, or am I missing the point? It is limited, I wouldn't do drum arranging in it, but it is the only app I found that will allow me to easily come up with a drum pattern in 11/8 that contains triplets, quintuplets and septuplets, simultaneously if desired. I guess I'm saying it's what I want from a souped up metronome.
@PaulB Yeah, You missed the point a little ;-) I know they both support "velocity" but it's not real velocity, it's just volume. You know how in real life the drum sounds different depending on how you hard you hit it? I just sample the drums like that, it's way more realistic then just using the built in velocity of any app. So instead of mf-kick1 it'd be mf-kick1-soft, mf-kick1-med, mf-kick1-hard, etc...
But you are totally right. It's really cool how easily you can change the step timing. It's the one thing missing from every drum app I have. :-)
Gotcha. I figured I was missing something.
Question: Does molten require samples in order to make sound? I see "sample-based synthesis" and I'm curious... how necessary are the samples? Will the oscillators suffice to build electronic kits w/o needing a sample to base the sound on? I've been waiting for something other than MoDrum to clearly do this (ielectribe being the closest thing I have now, which is four synth parts and four samples)
it comes with a bunch of samples/sets to start.But things getting funny if you use your own samples.The synth engine is quite powerfull.
@uglykidmoe I'm pretty sure it is sample based ONLY. Could be wrong but I'm pretty sure :-))
