What is happening with all these drum synth AUs!?
Interesting, expensive. Need more screenshots.
The videos on the hopepage sound quite convincing, like a virtual 808 & 909 but without some of the sounds that were samples on the original. It's $20 so I think I'll pass for now...
First app for this dev so will wait on verdict first may be a money grab. Not a casual purchase. It’s definitely raining AU drum apps this week good to see all the competition. The other 2 drum machines from 4Pockets and EG look a lot more up my street so think our give this one a miss.
Without more visuals or AU parameters, hard to tell if it's just samples playing.
Check the manual and videos on the home page
The size is 1.2MB so it I don't really think it's based around samples...
Like Korg level expensive
That price is a little ambitious with the other two apps coming out
Tell me more!
Indeed. I know about EG Pule. What's the other one?
Could be Drambo...
Unless it's two more apps from the same developer?
4pockets announced that they have one coming out really soon as well and it’ll be a lot like Pulse
A lot of apps these days seem to be using the same old concept with not much innovation. With so many years in iOS I still cannot quite recreate what I used to be able to with Stroke Machine. That is until now that I’m testing Drambo.
Now that it is turning into a modular groove box there’s a lot to be excited about. I find all of the latest drum apps uninspiring at best.
I see what Ryo is trying to do here and one has to be applauded for trying but at this price point I cannot see masses pressing the buy button.
This looks sweet, if it get full automation/midi cc then it could be interesting. Analogue modeling can work well for drums and alot of fine control. Bit different from the sample players. Although i hope the hats can pitch higher than in the example.
+1 on that. It's a truly rewarding experience and I just love the feeling of being a kid again playing with LEGO

Updated:
Version 1.7 introduces parameter automation, improvements and bug fixes.
I bought it, I think it sounds good, but hey that is my subjective opinion 😊
The parameters in AUM are:
There’s a demo of X/Y parameter detail here:

Yes, but I feel like the kid forced to watch all the other kids playing with the lego
It looks like we’re playing but it is actually really hard work. You know when as a kid you think that being an ice cream man is the best Job in the world until as a grown up you find out the bitter truth?
Does it offer a song mode? organize those patterns in some way?
Are you saying the ice cream man is NOT the best job in the world? 😱
No, it doesn't have a song mode and the sequencer is only in the standalone app.
I use VADrumSM as an auv3 instrument in AUM by sending midi to it from apps like Funk Drummer and Drum Session.
Anyone using this? I can't get enough AUv3 drum machines but £20 is enough to make me ask questions first, not later.
I'd buy at half the price, maybe more if multi-out was included.
Definitely getting harder to resist ... if only that price of entry was ....
Sorry to say but for me is one of the worst drum machine for iOS. Super limited AUv3 version and standalone non usable both in AUM and Audiobus. Regreat the buy.
Does that mean there's no way to output / save the stand-alone sequenced audio?
Thanks @Charlesalbert, that’s saved me £20 worth of disappointment.
