Looking for a great drum sequencer for iphone
Hey guys has anyone found a good drum sequencer that is an auv3 to run inside of loopy that has sample import and all the cool stuff generally found in a good sequencer like flam, chance, velocity, roll, pitch. Automation like elastic drums would be great however that is not an auv3 and I’ve found the iaa works but performs strange sometimes and glitches. IAA is unreliable in general I’ve found. Drum synths are ok but sample import is better for me. Also to have the ability to change sound, tone maybe even an eq and send effects on each pad would be good too!

Sequencer only, but my favorite is Octachron. I just then pair it with whatever drum app fits the need.
If you need it all in one, then Drambo, imo. Before you write it off as too complicated, it’s not if you use it for is sequencing and samples playback. It’s a very nice fit in Loopy Pro.
Those are my top recommendations. Ymmv.
Thanks Wim, I’ve got Drambo but never really liked the workflow although I didn’t get that deep into it. I may give it another look.
No wait. Best fit according to your OP would be Patterning 3, I think. Not my preference, but checks all the boxes.
whoops. iPhone.
tbh, I think limiting it to a single app for both sequencing and sample playback reduces the options significantly.
What about Hammerhead?

Do they still sell patterning (2) for iPhone?
SeekBeats is IAA but still great
Sitala or FAC drum with hammerhead/Octachron/X0X
yes
Oh dang I downloaded it and played with it and liked it a lot then tried to put it inside loopy but it’s not auv3. It’s not called patterning 2 just patterning for iPhone.
You can run it as iaa with Loopy Pro. It seems to be a reliable app.
I find hammerhead to be very usable on iPhone. I think it checks all the boxes except automation.
Ah yes ok I just needed to change clock settings for start stop and follow and yes it does work quite reliable. There’s no way of changing patterns via midi it seems and no song mode within the app. That’s unfortunate but I didn’t like it so much I bought the iPad version 3 which is fantastic!
