Lumbeat Reggae Drummer is 30% off today ($12.99)
https://apps.apple.com/us/app/reggae-drummer/id1445050080
As mentioned two posts above! :-D But all the better to make people not miss this - these sales are ususally rare and short!
AUM on sale at $14.99.
$50 here in Australia 😞
Ah, I did not know this. Good tip, thanks!
First sale since 2023 !!!
Caveat: Classic Lumbeat drummers do not support AUv3, nor do they support Audiobus state-saving: You must save and load presets by hand.
On a personal note...
While I believe a customer fundamentally is responsible for his/her own purchasing decisions, I find it more than a little frustrating that, after all this time, Lumbeat chooses not to prioritize his preexisting customers, many of whom have spent $100+ building a collection, who have hoped and begged for years for AUv3 support; while Lumbeat seems content to dangle the carrot of preliminary interest, and with seemingly no further attempt to assuage, releases a new AUv3 drummer at an even steeper price, proving it isn't a matter of "can't" but of "won't". I know I bought what I bought, but come ON, man...
I appreciate these apps exist at all, I don't regret my purchases, and I recognize Lumbeat is technically serving a niche market with virtually no competition, so "fair" is also technically undefinable. But until Lumbeat starts showing some love to loyal customers, I will not be spending another dollar (...ok maybe ONE dollar, lol).
Idk... Am I being overly harsh?
I don't want to be Lumbeat's advocate here, but Luis has declared that he will work on an AUv3 version for other drummers.
Since you ask: Yes, I'd say you are, and get a little tired of this always coming up each time there is a LumBeat sale. (Was actually considering adding a "Please, let's skip the AUv3-discussion this time" when I posted about about the sale.)
The apps are what they are - I think they are brilliant - and in general it is a sound strategy never to buy something on the promise of further development, but from whether it is useful for you in it's current state. And I do not really think the ranting helps or changes anything in a sales thread like this. How about being happy there is a rare sale instead?

Sector by Kymatica on sale
Do the experts still recommend it in 2025, despite not being Auv3 compatible?
What could be equivalent ?
Drambo £12.99, 35% off
https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/drambo/id1469365718
Was hoping Drambo's IAP were also discounted, looks like that's not the case
Thread is titled "[...] Sales & Discussions", though I reckon I could have worked on my tone a little better. I don't want to talk anyone out of getting something they don't want or to hinder a dev from receiving his just reward, and I mentioned I don't regret any of my purchases. These things are awesome. For every other Lumbeat sale I've been enthusiastic.
Mainly interested in informing those not up-to-speed on the lore, of the increasing risk of purchasing an IAA-only app, as it's been a while since Apple initially warned IAA is marked for deprecation. But yeah, in general, buy for today, plan for tomorrow. Thanks for posting the sale!
Any of the older Audio Damage apps still get used by anyone, or are there much better options available now? Specifically Discord4, PhaseThree, ADverb2, Eos 2, all very cheap atm
Don't know what the experts would say, but if you like slicing and rearranging samples it's excellent for that. It has had IAA sync issues with AUM in the past, but it seems to be working OK at the moment, last time I used it anyway.
We continue to hope that it might be reworked as AUv3 one day. It might help to add your voice to the requests to the dev if so.
Let's gooooo!!! (╯^o^）╯︵ ┻━┻
Sorry I'm going to be a bastard again...
NOTE: Drambo has had a problem for many months for some users where, upon launch, no AUv3 effects in any project will load.
Workaround #1 (doesn't work for me):
Simply use the "Files" option rather than the "Open" option to load projects (both just under the hamburger menu).
Workaround #2 (works for me):
Go into Drambo's audio settings (hamburger menu), tap "Buffer", tap any of the buffer settings (even the active one), then open the project again. Drambo should load AUv3 effects in projects ok until you restart the Drambo session again.
Thank you, I think I might get it. At first glance it seems more fun than Loopmix.
I use them all.
I’m happy with them.
Long-time AD fan. In a nutshell, they're small, CPU-efficient, sound very good and transparent: Think less "show-stopper" and more "secret weapon".
On iOS some can be a little buggy/crashy (check reviews where applicable). Only had a few crashes in total, personally. Lack of host preset sync (afaict) and no randomize feature are potential downsides. Of the ones mentioned I only have Eos 2, and it's been a treat.
For a buck or two they're a steal, unless you're really trying to avoid unnecessary purchases / ever-so-slightly-old-breed plugins. You can always try the desktop demos (most/all of their older versions are now free!).
Also note OtherDesertCities is sort of a major upgrade of Discord4, so if you have the former (and don't need iPhone support), you don't almost certainly don't need the latter.
Ah! I've been waiting for so long!
Good news then!
Just price changed a few moments ago… while I was checking AppRaven on other things
Was weird to catch it live
Can it RECEIVE midi clock
I just picked up Discord4 along with another app for some grungy manipulation options after going through dozens of posts for recommendations and listening to several YouTube examples. Was looking for good sounding but not overly complex options, so am skipping Replicant 3, but also going to try a few free pedals from Nembrini.
I'm still considering reverb options, including ADverb and Eos, but have scoped to things that have Windows counterparts as well, as in Loopy Pro I'm applying reverb and delay post-recording so I don't bake it into my takes, but have parity to add them back in exactly the same when I pull everything into Windows for production and mixing.
Oh - I didn't get the impression of the same use case between Other Dessert Cities (which I had) and Discord4 (which I just picked up) at all. But where it seems like I can use Other Dessert Cities from normal delay to more creative cases. I got Discord4 specifically for grungy/glitchy cases. With Other Dessert Cities, the intent is for applying after recording so I can still play with ideas and get something cool, but then apply the same settings to the Windows version when arranging and mixing everything with additional tweaks. But with Discord4, I generally intend to bake the results into the recording as part of the fundamental sound.
That is the intend anyway.
Oh ok, good tip!
As a first time Drambo purchaser and user, are there any recommend IAPs to pick up? My general workflow is capturing sequenced external gear and vocals while building songs, exploratively and with a few creative grunge and glitch components, before moving all the core pieces to Windows for arrangement, production, and mixing.
Awesome, thanks for always being on top of sales, you're the best!
While I am in here quite a bit, and caught this one, you're probably wanting to direct those thanks to @Poppadocrock 😁 (common mistake)
I just happen to stumble in on some now and again
@PapaBPoppin ohhh you're right
but I appreciate we have two helpful pas, Papa and Poppa!
Thank you both!
Waves is the most essential IMO, worth it for the wavetable LFO alone.
No
"DSP extensions 1" might be the most applicable IAP in this case: wave-scanner + spectral freezer + BBD resonator.
