I like it a lot. I can get some good exp noise out of it.

Does this app sound great? In my opinion their demo video is sonically pale and the Klevgrand apps I bought have also sounded kind of grainy, not very high fidelity. I like the idea of this app, but am unsure about the sound quality.

Not to me. I bought it, but as with most Klevgrand apps, wish I hadn't. It's okay but nothing special.

Similar apps (based on playable percussion loops) that I like better are DrumJam and Roli Noise.

Thanks for the suggestions, I will check them out.

I thoroughly enjoyed that track. Very creative use of the shaker percussion.
I like how the level meters are red for the entire song haha.

Definitely lower resource load!

Haha, for tracks like this I tend to let it explode. Completely oblivious 😀

Amazing. Drum apps from Klevgrand is a must have (can't say this about their other sound generating apps, hahaha)

Awww poor neglected Enkl mono synth cries into pillow.

This is great news, love Skaka, Slammer (also with big update) and Ting. Not forgetting Aleyas’s awesome Drambo Klevgrand Seq 1.0 from Patch storage. Happy times

It’s way past time to give that utility a little update.
Also, I totally agree, Klevgrand have been knocking it out of the park with their percussion apps recently. That convolution reverb of theirs sounds really great with their drum apps too.

1.2 Released

So what is new?

While Skaka already pretty much covered the whole spectra, we were still missing dirtier, darker and overall grittier percussion sounds in the toolbox of Skaka. This made us look beyond the already recorded percussion laying on our shelves and engaged our invention mode. We started to craft our own instruments, experimenting with different containers, materials and contents of shakable stuff and didn’t stop until we achieved the ”darker” percussion set we were aiming for. All this experimenting resulted in 6 new premium sounding instruments for Skaka, all captured in top-tier stereo recordings.

Quality of life improvements
Based on user feedback, you can now double or halve Skaka's sequence speed relative to the host's BPM. Particularly useful for experimenting with your pattern at various speeds or when you’re after a different tempo-vibe than what your DAW is currently set to. More on Klevgrand website.

Great update. I would purchase some extra presets if they would be available. I love this app.
