Tribal Electro Grooves With Different Drummer
Author View comments Tags Tags: , , , , , ,

Different Drummer

Compose tribal electro grooves with little or no effort with the Different Drummer app by Techné Media.

Using patent pending Cyclophone Technology, Different Drummer taps into the primal source of all rhythm—waves. Different Drummer puts out multi-track music which is lifelike or primal at times and out of this world at others. It’s not a drum synthesizer but a music synthesizer that uses waves to play any sound in amazing ways that vary from electro to dubstep to tribal to classical.

This software was created with music in mind—but in the spirit of discovering what is next in music, not just finding a new way to do the same thing like so many music apps do so well. If you are a pioneer or care about where music is going, this app is for you.

What’s New in Version 4.0.0
• New Zenterface provides a new, simpler way to interact with Different Drummer—it’s cool (in-app purchase for full unlock)!
• Master tuning control
• Drum sets
• Two new wave styles: mirrored and clipped
• New Zoom control for Wave View
• New Settings and Mixer
• Custom color themes
• New template chooser
• Plays nicer when in background (music player is now entirely independent of interface)

Create dynamic drum parts, saving hours of tedious pattern and loop creation. Drums created with DD are pretty much assured to be copyright free and unique!

It only takes a few minutes before you realize how powerful the DD waves are. Adjust note, rest, tie, panning, beat and dynamics waves for the ultimate range of expression.

You will never exhaust the endless possibilities of Different Drummer and you are guaranteed to discover legit beats that no one has ever heard before.

No matter how many apps you have…not having Different Drummer is just sad. For the price of a few cups of coffee…to not possess this musical wonder is committing a groove crime.

Free Halloween Sound Effects and Loops

Looptastic Free Icon

Download this set of free Halloween sound effects and loops.

Here is a bit of history behind it. My buddy Aaron (inventor of Mixmeister) created this app Looptastic back in 2008 and he contacted me about producing content for it so I had a nice 3-4 year stretch creating loop content for all versions of Looptastic and other Sound Trend apps. This particular Halloween set was a free promo. All of the sounds you hear in the pack were recorded in my apartment back in Chicago a long time ago. In fact some of the vocals are from my friend Johann who sings in my Industrial EBM side project Khemique which was just used in the TV show Anthony Bourdain Parts Unknown last week! The episode is called “Bay Area” and our song plays during a scene where Anthony is battling someone in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. ANYWAY here are the raw loop files I sent to Aaron way back then!!

I’ve uploaded the loops for you here https://ipadloops.com/free-loops/iPadLoops_Halloween.zip

Load them into your apps!! Some recommending loop apps are Launchpad, LP-5, Beatmaker, and Beathawk.

Here is the original video from back in 2009 (sorry for the poor video quality).

Patterning Icon

Here is a drum kit I made for Patterning called “Wood” because I used a recording of chopping firewood as one of the sounds. Most of the other sounds were made on a Moog Voyager. I hope you like this demo/jam. I used Soundprism Pro for the keyboard sounds. This kit is good for Chill Out, Chilltrap, and Glitch music.
