Thanks for the news!
Oh no! I just went on an 808 binge and grabbed Boom and EGDR808 (and posted about them here, which was largely met with crickets). I noted that there weren't any good standalone 909 apps (one called nineOnine hadn't been updated since early 2012). I'm in for 99 cents.
Boom808! is pretty decent - I think they are wise to make it only 99 cents. The pattern editor isn't the best, but faithful to the original machine. Overdrive and compressor are cool. I do wish they had an output gauge within the app so you know if you are clipping before you send it out (but all apps should have this).
Thanks!
These are so worth the price. Lots of fun for a buck!
More tempting than the 808 for me. I'm almost afraid to ask... Does it support MIDI Sync and if so, how does it work?
I've got it running in the background set to external clock and it runs in time with Sector quite well.
These seem to be introductory prices, the boom 808 price has been raised.
Hey, does it have a matrix input like dm1/seekbeats or is It mostly replica of the original?
Not that I don't want to spend this serious money just I've been buying and Iclouding apps a lot recently.
Thanks @jesse
Can you save and export loops or just performances?
No Flam Function unfortunately.Thats a huge part of the 909s "funkyness".
It does have flam, you need to press the one of the trigger buttons till it turns blue, thats your flam for that hit
oh,neat.Thanks for the info!

Both apps or only 909?
Really liking this one. The overdrive+plus compressor = some really nice saturated/distorted sounds.
Clock sync-out would be a very useful addition though. I wanna put this through Effectrix, birdStepper and so on. Please, Pulse Code?

No only the 909
Downloaded late last night. Same basic interface as Boom808, except for the flam and accent stuff noted above. It sounds good to me. I'm sure some idiots will give it 1-star reviews because it doesn't have a grid mode, but it's a model of the real-life machine, and meant to be as such. There are plenty of options if you want 909 sounds in a more traditional iOS drum app.

I'd love to be corrected by someone on this one, but the export options are either AudioBus (live recording) or Record within the app (also live, but taped internally). If you use the record button the recording is hot immediately, so you don't get an accurate start point. You can slide and drop the first beat in a DAW, or try the MIDI sync thing, but I'm no expert on that.
One work-around that I use for this or any drum machine with ACP is the "snap" trim feature in AudioShare. If you click "snap" on the trim page and set the BPM of the loop, you can count off 4 beats (which would be 2 seconds exactly at 120BPM) and create a perfectly-sized loop. Of course, you need to have the first beat lined up properly, but it does work.
The lack of an export loop function does bother me about both Boom808 and Boom909
Thanks, Doug.
Cool, so It doesn't have a grid. Fair play, gonna save my 69p and put it in the piggy bank towards cubasis or/and BM3. I think making remakes of old boxes has its place on IOS for people who would like to have an emulation of that experience but as @StormJH1 said there's more capable beat boxes out there. Thanks for inadvertently aswering my question.
Yes, maybe is for retro lovers, but nobody is forced to bought it (even if finally I'll do it).
For now, I'm fine with BM2 and Rebirthing.
No grid, it's meant to be programmed like the original machine. Which, really, it does have a 16-step visual representation of the pattern, just one instrument at a time.
So that's the down side. The up side of the apps is that if you know you want an 808 or 909 sound, you get a single screen control panel fully catered to this particular drum machine. So, for example, "snappy" and "decay" settings may be present in the settings of a DM-1 or something, but you'd have to dig for it.

DM1 doesnt even have a decay setting,just a length parameter.Personally thats the DM1s biggest issue for me.Controlling the length is way more unnatural sounding
Heres the demo
