TEMPO-1 by Richard Gillespie (Released)
https://apps.apple.com/app/id6768481470
TEMPO-1 is a focused drum machine for fast beat making, deep groove control, and clean movement from sketch to finished idea.
Start with a 12-voice workstation: Kick, Snare, Closed Hat, Open Hat, Clap, Tom, Cymbal, Perc, Keys, Bass, Synth, and Sounds. Tap pads, build patterns, choose kits, tune samples, route effects, and keep the rhythm moving from the first touch.
The sequencer gives each pattern room to breathe. Build up to 64 steps, then shape the feel with per-step velocity, probability, and micro-timing. Tight machine pulse, loose swing, ghost hits, fills, and humanized movement all live in the same grid.
TEMPO-1 also fits into a wider music setup. Use MIDI learn to map pads, transport, mixer, BPM, FX, routing, and continuous controls. Run TEMPO-1 as an AUv3 in supported hosts, capture live performances as WAV, export loops as WAV, or export patterns as MIDI when you want to move into a DAW.
Resample your own grooves by capturing or exporting a loop as WAV, loading it back onto a pad, and building new layers on top.
Sound design stays immediate. Choose from modeled drums and bundled samples, import your own samples, bounce voices into reusable samples, save presets, and share preset banks with embedded samples and MIDI mappings.
Key features:
- 12-voice drum workstation.
- Up to 64 steps per pattern.
- 64 pattern slots.
- Velocity, probability, and micro-timing per step.
- BPM, swing, and pattern length controls.
- Factory kits and starter patterns.

TEMPO-1 is for beatmakers who want the speed of hardware, the portability of iPhone, iPad, and Mac, and the export options needed to finish ideas anywhere.

Poetry, man!
These vibe coded plugins are fun little passion projects but just charge $2 for them or something. Cover your Apple developer costs, sure. But don’t try and charge me more than Bram Bos or Quantovox for a fraction of the quality and creativity.
100$ a month for Claude, dudes gotta get ROI somehow (I guess). His website is also an AI construct and really funny to take a a quick peak at with its press releases and all.
Totally agree but unfortunately it’s a sign of the times….greed and complacency.
Apparently I just cannot resist these things. Rolled the dice on Tempo-1 and the verdict is no regrets.
It’s not a revolutionary concept and there are a couple peculiarities but overall the package is inviting: stand-alone with easy WAV export (AUV3 capable too) .. it has a similar “fast and fun” appeal as VU202.
Bought on a roadtrip, learnt in a park and exported a bunch of beats before driving on. Another facet of why iOS music making is so damn fun.
I know what it is for an unassuming app to hold a lot of untapped potential for fun and musical ideas!
I’m curious if the experience is different from koala…
I use Koala every day and it's The One but it's fun to diversify too.
Tempo-1 feels like a sibling to Ampify’s ‘Groovebox’ app (specifically ‘Drumbox’ within ‘Groovebox’) more than the sky’s-the-limit sampling splendor that is Koala.
Unlike ‘Groovebox’ you can easily import user samples into Tempo-1 and as with ‘Groovebox’ you can live-record all kinds of automation which is really fun.
If only I could record to Pad like VU202
