Description

SynthDrum Pads is a virtual analog drum synthesiser, with a 100% synthesized signal path, 64 step sequencer and 4 drums all with EQ and effects. What's new in SynthDrum Pads The step sequencer has been extended to 64 steps. Now SynthDrum Pads can make use of Ableton Link. Ableton Link is a new technology that synchronizes beat, phase and tempo of Ableton Live and Link-enabled iOS apps over a wireless network. Audiobus 3 suport has been added. Amplitude modulation for pads 1 and 2 opens vast opportunities for making metallic sounds. EQ on each drum makes it that much easier to reach the sound you want. Five new send effects can be used on each drum (distortion, delay, reverb, bit crush, chores/flanger) A 4-pole low-pass filter and soft-clipper have been added before the master output along with the original delay. A new mixer with pan control. Now you can save more. Up to 99 save slots can now be used. A new GUI overhaul makes it easier to navigate multiple bars and effects. Now with Ableton Link Ableton Link is a new technology that synchronizes beat, phase and tempo of Ableton Live and Link-enabled iOS apps over a wireless network. It lets you play devices together with the freedom of a live band. Anyone can start and stop their part while others keep playing, and anyone can adjust the tempo and the rest will follow. You can use Link to play with several instances of Ableton Live, with Live and iOS apps, or even without Live in your setup: using Link- enabled apps on multiple devices, or multiple apps on the same device. SynthDrum Pads has an audio engine and clean interface that makes it a breeze to make the drum sounds you want; weather it be classic 80s transistor drum sounds, warm bass and ambient tones or modern percussive elements for modern EDM, Electronica and Dance. Whether you’re looking for a chilled out feel to soothe, or a big fat bass to really turn heads SynthDrum Pads is exactly the addition you need to your audio arsenal to provide you with the variety of mood and texture you want, giving you an awestruck audience every time. Get hands-on with your beats… Sculpt the sound you want with VA tone generators, LFOs and EG. Perform on 4 pads or compose on the 64 step sequencer. A 'one knob per parameter' makes it easy to quickly tweak your sounds during live sets. Connectivity and Versatility… SynthDrum incorporates Audiobus 3 support, allowing audio connection and recording to 100s of great music apps including GarageBand.

Think Daft Punk 'Derezzed'. Wish it was a VST or AU host. My dream synthetic drum machine. Amazing app 5/5 by Tronic j - Version 1.0 - Jun 20, 2013 Amazing app. ... Some really interesting effects can be achieved with the delay section which also functions as a kind of sequencer, so that beats can be juxtaposed and overlaid.

    Seriously—a drum synth with on IAA or core MIDI support? What the duck am I supposed to do with this??? I suppose I could sample it (it sounds pretty good), but I have better things to do with my time.
  • Waste of time and $$$$

    Dials are impossible to accurately adjust. Asking for a refund
  • A drum synth without MIDI?

    By Blackbery-12
    There's no midi in or out. The sound being synthesized it's nice but it's fairly limited to pitch, filter, blah blah blah. The click cymbal sound is fine, but it's just that a click sound with volume and pitch. Can't change the tempo without tapping, you can't manually type in the tempo desired.

    Sorry I bought this. Help button goes to web site with no help, just pictures of other products by this provided. Complete waste. I want my money back. I am rating this a one star app because that is the lowest rating I can give it. It really deserves no stars at all.
  • Lightweight drum machine not useful

    No real useful features to speak of.... No MIDI, no Ableton Link, no IAA or AudioBus support. Not even BACKGROUND audio.....so...so CAN it do? This app is completely useless in terms of making beats or music.
  • Fun to tweak. Hard to get the exact sounds you're looking for.

    Like others mention, this app has potential. Conceptually, I get it... and that's what made me excited about it. In practice, however, it's a bit on the hard side to get the sounds you're looking for. Although it's fun to tweak and play. Bottomline: looking forward to some innovative updates! Thanks!
  • great synth drum

    this synth drums sounds great and is very tweakable. the interface is very sharp. the pads are very playable and responsive. very nice drum machine. this app would really shine if it had a decent midi implementation. the sequence is a really nice addition though, and is a good holdmeover until midi comes. Updates are pretty consistent and I'm happy to see the dev taking care of this app and hopefully it will eventually live up to its true potential.
  • Please add midi

    This is a really wonderful drum machine. Midi implementation, mainly sync and start / stop would make this much more usable in a live setting
  • Good start , but needs ......

    Descent voice architecture for creating classic drum synth sounds . Quick clean layout . So the Has : nice sound /nice gui with easy workflow The Needs : core midi ,virtual midi , IAA THE IT WOULD BE NICE : An env section for the kick for more sculpting possibilities . More effects with basic bussing , distortion circuit , spring and plate reverb , but selectable per voice or at least a send amount per voice . A 4x4 lfo and env that is assailable to anything (midi note on too) would make this insane !

    I have to say I've been searching for an app like this for a long time. I love the old analog Syndrum sound, such as when Russ Kunkle used them on Linda Ronstat's "Poor Poor Pitiful Me". I can set it up and make a sample for my Roland SPD-S. I'm looking forward for MIDI control so I can use my SPDS for a trigger. Love this app.
