Randgrid an app for making electronic music. It’s perfect for those who are familiar with analog synthesizers and sequencers.
The interface of Randgrid is based on classic analog synthesizers, drum machines and step sequencers.
You have a very powerful setup at your fingertips with two monophonic virtual analog subtractive synthesizers and fourteen sampled drum parts.
Note that the synthesizers are real and not based on samples, they are calculated in realtime and every parameter change immediately affects the sound generation.
The Randgrid Drum Machine is full of features. Use parameter locks to change it’s parameters for each step in the pattern (the same goes for the synthesizers of course). This lets you build the most dynamic complex beats you ever could dream of. You can alter parameters like panning, volume, flam, start/stop position of the sample (making it possible to play parts of the samples both forward and reverse), or the amount of delay/echo you want on each step in the pattern.
The advanced step sequencer is the heart of Randgrid, it lets you control virtually every aspect of the drums and synthesizers. Use parameter locks to change cutoff, resonance, envelope modulation, panning and many more parameters of the synthesizers for each step in a pattern.
mobileRhythm mR-7070 – Vintage Drum Machine for iPhone and iPod Touch.
Drum machine app with an unmistakable 1980’s look and sound.
History behind the Roland TR-707: It resembles the popular TR-909, and better yet, its hi-hat, cymbals, and clap sound almost identical to the TR-909. It has some other cool features not available on the 909. It has Matrix display which clearly maps out your pattern for you in an easy to read display panel.
For programming, it features a shuffle and flam effect and its programming abilities are very impressive. But it does have its limitations, the only adjustment you can make to each drum tone is volume.
App Features:
-MIDI in, out and MIDI clock out
-Precise tempo control with digital readout.
-4×16 banks for pattern storage.
-Individual faders for each drum sound.
-Multiple beat divisions for crazy time signatures with adjustable last step.
-Rock solid timing.
-Grid-view pattern display.
…And much more.
The hardware drum machines and beatboxes from the 1980’s have defined musical genres from House, Acid, Hip-Hop, right up to and including the latest Dub-step, Grime and other electronic music beats.
The mR-7070 works just like the original beatboxes, and anyone who is a fan of music will instantly recognise the classic sounds it produces.
Its easy to program even complicated beats and with plenty of storage space to store your creations.
MIDI settings are in the iOS settings app, and will work with any “CORE MIDI” interface.
