Is anyone using SKIIID for iPhone? I’m finding the pad triggers a bit hit or miss? Sometimes pressing the pad fails to trigger at all in standalone. It works fine in auv3.

Can confirm. Takes multiple presses to trigger a sound in standalone mode.

Yea it’s very frustrating. It’s very hard to jam with it or to set up presets like Noir.

I hadn’t noticed because I’m usually using it in AUM for some drones or as sample fodder but it’s definitely a PITA.

These are probably some of your best options, I’m probably missing one or two, but for Au drum synthesis I say one of these three. all 3 are AU, have drum synthesis, and sample loading. Hammerhead lets you use samples or drum synth per hit or even loops (with time stretch) but the other two let you mix/blend samples and drum synthesis to combine into one sound.

Try pushin' it! When you feel so inclined.

I read many people saying Axon is so prone to crashing as to be unusable. Is that so?

I’ve never had any major issues with it. I think I’ve had a couples crashes in the time I’ve had it (which is 2 years or so at this point) but it’s definitely not unusable. For me anyway.

I think the problems stem from using multiple instances in one session. I think I remember reading that. I’ve never tried to push it though.

Fractal Beats: for tunable noises and random generation driven by external sequencers

Digistick: for LOTS of sample capabilities and sequence generation

Blip box: for a AU SeekBeats

FAC drum: for the ultimate in kit building with sound shaping and sample hosting

DrumComputer: a wonderfully flexible sequencer lots of sound engines and effects and great for simply pressing random for sounds and patterns - midi out as well

More than honorable mentions: Skaka, Borsta, Ruismaker Nior, Patterning (still the best for evolving moving drums)

Drum sequencers: Octachron, Polybeat,

Sitalia fast flexible sound hosting kit making

I slept of Digistix2 for a long time. Finally caved a few months back and I love it. Very versatile and feature packed drum machine. Love those Klevgrand apps too. I’d go ahead and throw Slammer and Ting in there though way less sound sculpting capabilities compared to Borsta.

Sitala is great. I use it for drum apps with limited to connectivity. Sample and export loops from DM1/2, Seekbeats, Patterning2, etc into Sitala and now I have AU versions of them.

I’ll give it a shot when I get off work and report back!

That would be terrif!

Fractal bits is pretty great. So cheap too. I tend to use and reuse glitch samples in my jams and this really helps avoid that collection. Thanks!
