SR-88 by AudioThing (Released)
SR-88 is a sample-based plugin emulation of the Sound Master Memory Rhythm SR-88, a rare analog drum machine from the 80s.
The instrument features 5 classic analog sounds: Kick, Snare, Hi Hat 1, Hi Hat 2, and Cymbal, which can be pitched, panned or mixed independently. You can additionally shape the sound with the Low Pass Filter (Zero Delay Feedback), Overdrive, Compressor and Reverb. The sequencer lets you easily build patterns that can be dragged and dropped to your DAW/host.

I’ll bet this will sound very good in combi with FAC Punchlab.
Looks fun!
What doesn't sound good in combi with FAC Punchlab to be honest? 😂
though FAC may suggest FAC Drumkit would sound even better , & offers more sound editing functionality …(though no sequencer of course)
if he’s too modest , let me make that suggestion myself .
We're in a new golden age for virtual drum machines.
I love this little drum machine, I use it very frequently on desktop. Its good for generating patterns too with the drag and drop
This reminds me I have SR88 on desktop. I don’t think I’ve ever used it. I think I must have got it as a freebie with another purchase or something. I don’t recall ever buying it! But I’ve definitely got it in my audiothing account!
Maybe I should install it and all the other plugins I’ve forgotten I even had and use just those to write a song.
Finally! I’ve been waiting for them to start porting their drum machines to iOS. Sick.
Oooh...my first drum machine...
It’s out!!

Ooo nice intro price. "Exports midi files" but does it output its MIDI in real time?
This is pretty cool. Best for me folks if you watch in YouTube and give this a like and a comment etc if you can, thank you! There is a giveaway too, details in pinned comment - actually also have a giveaway to win (almost) any AudioThing desktop plugin too on my Patreon - link in the pinned comment as well. Cheers, Gav
The Mac version doesn’t. At least not in Logic. You can drag the MIDI file into the timeline though so it’s not much of an issue.
I’m not going to get it for iOS so can’t answer if outputs MIDI on iOS.
It doesn’t output midi as far as I can tell. The ability to drag and drop midi from the app, described in the desktop manual, is also not something I could get working on iOS. Maybe someone else has found a way to get it to work, if so they can enlighten us, great.
Thank you
The lack of Drag'n'Drop export is due to JUCE issues on iOS. The button just exports a midi-file...
Don't miss the UI zoom (tap on the grey area outside the plug-in to zoom it and use the edges of the window for pan&scroll, double tap on the edge scales the plug-in to fully fit in the plug-in window).
Here's a demo video with a bunch of jams using it
I'd love to be able to do parameter locking, that would make the app much cooler.
Tap on the lock icon then tap the dial you want to lock then when you change presets your lock parameters remain locked
Bought! Great demos @eylvy @Gavinski
Thank you, @Slush
Thanks @hacked_to_pieces but I mean, if for example I want the first hi hat to have a different decay or pitch per step, for variety.
You can do that in your host (again, not tested on iOS but works on Mac version so would hope it's the same on the iPad). Here's an example using Logic's pattern editor for parameter locks. I use the pattern editor to parameter lock automations on the iPad in Logic all the time. Works a treat.
BTW... That little box in the app to the right of the Tempo button does allow you to export the midi, but only in the standalone, in the AUv3 it does nothing.
When in AUM and Nodes, it exports MIDI to your chosen location in the Files app in my experience.
For me it works perfectly in both stand-alone and AUv3 on the 11” M1 iPadPro running iPadOS17.3…
Well, what do you know, it is working. I was stabbing away at it in aum last night with no reaction but it is working fine for me now, how bizarre. Thanks guys.
Can it be triggered by pattern region steps in Logic or better said integrated into a existing drums track stack?
Would be even more fun if you can load your own samples into this, it’s a quick sequencing machine with some useful fx.
