    Thanks @Slush for the Thump One rec.
    What a great sound.
    Got me out of my app buying doldrums. Yea!

    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.

    FAC drumkit
    Drum Computer
    Hammerhead

    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.

    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!

    Any suggestions for Triplexkicker vs Synthdrum Kick?
    Pros and cons of both?

    I have pretty much all of the drum apps, but find myself using Hammerhead,and Hand Clapper the most. Hammerheads a special fella (for me)

    Tekno, BlipBox, and AnalogyDR are quality drum synths

  • SlushSlush

    Don’t forget about Tahti, it’s an amazing groovebox in production: https://forum.loopypro.com/discussion/66311/tahti-studio-ios-testflight

    What about BreakBud? Anybody see it getting a lot of action?

  • Meek3Meek3

    Has DM10 been mentioned yet?

    And Vatanator?

    Tweaky beats is also fun.

    I really like BreakBud, but like all of @cem_olcay 's stuff though- the generative capabilities are pretty solid, a bit limited in the sound design but it certainly has it's place.

    For blip box I primarily just use the booming BD and crispy high hats it can generate.

    @Richtowns

    For anyone just getting into thump one (which I highly recommend), grab Haq's free 808 presets. It really adds some bubbly bumps to your bass/kicks.

    @HotStrange
    Can u elaborate a bit on digistix sequences? I've been tempted to get it for so long as on paper it reads like everything you would need in a drum sampler- I just have so many already... like a ton.

  • FizzyLizzy27FizzyLizzy27

    DM10 is great. I use it as a groove box more than AUv3 sound generator.
    If I’m in AUM I’ll go for BlipBox.

    I really like Tokyo from KORG Gadget. Also OTORII, the saga Genesis sound gadget.

    Punchline is a good newer one.

    @FizzyLizzy27 ah, a Tokyo fan! I dig all the drum gadgets- Tokyo was special though- the Doncamatic preset is superb!

    I thought DM10 was sample based for drums. It’s a drum synth too?

    Sample based for drums, but has a simple bass and lead synth built in.

    Thanks, that’s what I thought. Would not include as a drum synth then if I was feeling pedantic. Which I appear to be 😃

    Fac Drum. Blipbox. Thump one.

    For sampling/sequencing.

    Battalian for a drum machine.

    jAmp Percussive is a lot of fun. Uses physical modeling and plays dynamically.

  • _smund_smund

    I vote with @Slush
    Blip Bix is chill! Less knobs more beats.
    I am never putting down AR-909 myself
    Try sequencing them from Drambo if youre up for it

  • satchnutsatchnut

    Speaking of Drambo…

    Hammerhead has a great 909 template

  • Meek3Meek3

    How is the synth drum kick app?
    It’s on sale

  • sigma79sigma79

    Dunno about SDK.

    Added it to setup. Also bought Thump one.

    The top ipad can be Battalion with recorded multiout triggered loops.

    Or in this case.

    Drambo samplers with acoustic samples.

    But then 4 apps ( FAC, Blipbox. SDK. Thump one )

    Triggered via a surface builder on another ipad.

    Sampled via flexi samplers.

    Opened in Drambo zone velocity samplers ( so gradually swapping out the same acoustic kit lol )

    Then instead of triggered via surface builder ( instead a velocity keyboard )

    Surface builder is actually 16 Fac triggers. 16 Blipbox. 1 SDK. 1 Thump one. Also a combined sampler trigger to see how sounds fit together. Then a velocity performance keyboard.

    All sounds can be made fm easy, with module. No need for fac punclabs until a DAW ( use shaper module instead )

    All ipads overall patterns can switch back, forward, 1st pattern. Hold pattern via Ec4 push commands ( no need for another button controller )

    Generally loads more routing, like midi and audio ( ipad to ipad )

    but its generally a 14 sequenced loopy donuts per track x 8 on each ipad.

    Will it work ( ram etc )

    Dont know.

    Always scared to start because of potential crashes, so I just tweak/play a keyboard key on 1 ipad.

    I should have made patterns for drum ipad ( so you can see midi pattern switching there also )

  • sigma79sigma79

    So will you trigger apps or sample.

    Il post back later.

    Opinion on FAC, Blipbox. SDK. Thump one.

    FAC and Blipbox have a different edit page system, when drum pages are triggered.

    FAC is better.

    Blipbox seems more FM.

    Thump one will be like both combined although perhaps clicky kicks.

    SDK is just a general kick, hat, snare maker.

    Will post again.
