Would love to see this in Logic x

• ★★★★★   gbarone 7 years ago ( v 2.2 )

Would love to see this sold to Apple and implemented in Logic X. Very intuitive fun and easy to use

不安定でビックリ

• ★★☆☆☆   Donburi1 7 years ago ( v 2.2 )

iOS版を気に入っているので、Mac版はどんなものかと思って買ってみたら、不安定でビックリです。 ・Swingスライダーが表示されない ・Swingスライダーはそのうちなぜか表示されるようになったが、効果がまったくない。 ・と思っていたら、何回かアプリの起動・終了を繰り返すうちにSwingスライダーは機能するようになった ・FX1のOverdrive、Delayボタンが押せない（これもそのうち、なぜか押せるようになったが） ・オーディオファイルをエクスポートした際、選んでいるキットではなく、以前選んだキットの音色で出力される（これが一番困る）。 ・と思っていたら、これもなぜか突然解消した。 ・オーディオエクスポートしたファイルに拡張子が付かないことがある（これは起動直後は起きなかった） 慣らし運転が必要なアプリなのでしょうか？ 荒い音色が気に入っているアプリだけに、この不安定さには驚きました。 改善願いものです。

MacBook Pro Fullscreen Bug remains a Bug

• ★★★☆☆   Fauxmantic 7 years ago ( v 2.1.1 )

Please fix, still creeps off the screen on fullscreen mode.

it’s good not great

• ★★★☆☆   Charlie710 7 years ago ( v 2.2 )

the drums from the Linn9000 don’t sound exactly like the real thing… is a good app but is not AU nor is it VST… plus it brings sounds that are similar but not exact… I would wait till they make it an AU plug in.. otherwise is just for practice or play.

Could see this growing into the next FL Studio

• ★★★★★   Ben174 7 years ago ( v 2.2 )

I really hope this developer continues to update this and grow it like FL Studio (Fruity Loops) did. Fruity loops started out as a much more simple product and emerged into a powerhouse that unfortunately only runs on Windows. This looks like a great start for a replacement. I do have an issue when midi syncing to my analog synth (MicroBrute) in that the syncing seems half a note off. I dont think its a latency thing because if I have it serve as a master and drive notes on the synth, it syncs perfectly.

Useful sounds, quick to make standard grooves & chain patterns

• ★★★☆☆   Bbba 7 years ago ( v 2.2 )

DM1 has an impressive collection of sounds. It is easy to make fun grooves in standard time-signatures. Though the app shows 6/8, 9/8 and 12/8 as options, it does not treat the dotted quarter-note as a beat (which is standard). So it is basically just truncating the pattern length with no actual triplets. This is a considerable oversite since you might like to have a groove with actual triplets in it. It’s not a deal breaker, it is just a “fake” feature that requires you to do some work-arounds. All they would need to do is scale the step to beat/tempo ratio from 4:1 to 3:1. I’ve mentioned this to the developer but gotten no response about it. Would love to see this app evolve into a more rhythmically versatile machine. For example, would love to see beats be able to be divided (per track, per beat) a la iOS’s Molten.

So intuitive

• ★★★★★   Sunfluer 7 years ago ( v 2.2 )

I’ve used a lot of different DAWsa (or should say, tried messing around on them) and this is definitely one of the most intuitive. Love it! Thanks for making it sound and look and function great.
