Diode-108 iPad Drum Machine

SEQUENCER
Build your beat on a 16×16 pattern grid. 16 voices is almost twice the number of voices of some of our competitors, and it means that you can have an 808 kit with all the instruments you’re looking for (not just some of them). Set tempo and swing. Several time signatures are supported (and each pattern can have its own).

PADS
Tap your beat on our 4 by 4 array of drum pads. Record into the active pattern, or just play along.

DRUM MACHINE
Unprecedented control over your drum kit. Dial in the settings you want, mix and match samples from different kits, and save out your modified custom kits for use in any song. How much control do you have? An amazing 7 dials for each of the 16 drum voices!

FX
Diode-108’s crown jewel is its drag-and-drop beat FX. Want a reverse cowbell? Want a bitcrushed tom? Want a cymbal that performs a pitch dive across several beats? Just drag and drop the effect tokens onto beats, and drag them left and right to cover any beats you like. Turn a long-lasting cymbal into a rhythmic backbone. You have to hear it to believe it! Head over to http://www.vibrantdigitalengineering.com for SoundCloud examples.

SONG
Build up a collection of named patterns from scratch, or import selected patterns from existing songs. Then drag and drop the patterns to build up a song. Each pattern can have its own swing setting and tempo multiplier if you like!

Export your songs as wav files to SoundCloud, DropBox, or iTunes, or send them through Audiobus to other apps on your iPad.

What’s New in Version 1.1.1

– No lag switching between kits

IT’S A SYNTHESIZER

– That’s a music instrument.
– And compatible with Audiobus.

You’ll never need to know that under the cute exterior beats the heart of a custom-built event-based multitimbral sampler engine capable of playing hundreds of samples at once on an optimized floating-point audio pipeline. As avid musicians, coders, and designers, we would want no less than a pro-spec system ourselves.

Elastic Drums For iOS

Elastic Drums (published by MoMinstruments, the instruments app label of Mouse on Mars and friends), is a music app with 6 channels of synthesized drum sounds, a step sequencer and 4 fx channels, all tweakable in an elastic way. The sound range is from classical analog beatbox style to the weirdest effect drone soundscapes. Because all sounds get generated in realtime, the app is cpu heavy! iPhones 5 and greater can handle it with no problem, on iPhone 4s and iPad 2 effects 3 and 4 get switched off by the engine automatically to save some cpu power. iPhone 4 and iPad1 are NOT recommended!

What’s New in Version 1.2
– better inter-app audio (IAA) implementation with transport control
– background audio on/off switch (mixer -> options)
– save battery power with background audio switched off
– start/stop/(sync) via external Midi (mixer -> options)
– extended number of patterns
– new presets
– iPad2, iPhone4s improvement: fx2, fx4 were not properly switched off
– slightly performance improvements due to fx off switching in master section
– choose automate and velocity target at the same time is dissalowed (could crash app)
– updated manual (file -> options)
– debugged randomize behavior

Features:
– 6 synth channels with 10 different percussion synth engines (kick, snare, hit, clap, tom, wobble, fm, fm4, square, grain)
– 12 parameters for each synth engine
– automation for each parameter via knob recording or velocity
– 4 send effect channels with 2×11 mono effects and 2 x 9 stereo effects
– automation for all of the 8 possible effect parameters via xy pad
– master effects (stutter, delay, compressor …)
– 16 step sequencer for the 6 channels, each with it’s own tempo multiplier & length
– record audio and export to Soundcloud or Audioshare
– email audio recordings and presets
– iOS 8 supported
– Audiobus supported
– Inter-App audio (IAA) supported with transport control
– Midi start/stop/(sync)

Plans for upcoming versions:
– iPad version (landscape instead of portrait) – UNIVERSAL !
– new sequencer features (rolls, etc.)
– new synth engines (other percussions, sampler, etc)
