Drums by Asrodot iPad Drum App

The Table Metaphor
Ask a drummer or a percussionist what a wooden coffee table sounds like. He or she will reply that every inch of the table sounds differently. Some parts of the table will sound somewhat like a bass drum. Other parts of the table will sound more like a rimshot. Parts in-between will sound like a mixture of both.

A drummer or a percussionist placed behind a wooden coffee table will soon discover many different sounds the table has to offer and use it to create stunning rhythms. Much to the joy of the drummer/percussionist, and possibly to the annoyance of the other people sitting at the table. The table metaphor has been used in the creation of Drums by Asrodot. Using the real estate of the iPad screen it has been made sure that every pixel sounds just a little bit different, which makes drumming on the iPad come to life. Want to create drumrolls with subtle accents every third note? Now you can.

Choose Your Sound
This does not mean that Drums by Asrodot sounds like a coffee-table. The app comes loaded with six drum kits tailored for various styles of music. Watch the demo to get a taste of them all.

Features
Expressive
Quick and responsive action. Every pixel sounds just a little different.

6 Drum Kits
Cajón, Xylophone, Jazz, IDM, Drum&Bass 1 + 2.

Distortion
Increase gain to add a tube-like distortion that can dramatically change the sound.

Delay Module
With tweakable time, feedback and mix settings.

Customizable
Designed for both right-handed and left-handed drummers. Don’t like snare drums on the left and bass drums on the right? Just swap them around.

Drums by Asrodot is available for $0.99

Use multiple apps at together

A Tasty Pixel announced AudioBus Version 1.0.2 today. This update focuses on improving performance with CPU hungry apps, especially on iPad 2 and iPad mini.

Here’s what’s new:

New preferences pane allowing users to choose between a 512 and 256 frame hardware buffer size. Please choose 512 if you’re experiencing stuttering audio. Choose 256 if you want the fastest response time for live play. Only iPad 3, 4 and iPhone 5 default to 256 now, all other devices to 512. Find out more in this blog post about hardware buffer size.

AudioBus Buffer Size

Apps are now sorted alphabetically in the input/output/effects pop-over windows.
New status bar in the Audiobus main screen, showing current hardware buffer size and battery status. We don’t want you to run out of juice in the middle of a jam!
Some minor bugfixes.
