There’s so many things you can make with this app if you know how to program it, it has all the features you could want, my only suggestion is to add the drum samples of the TR-727 and LinnDrum, other than that this app is a masterpiece

I was too late to get the Rebirth app before it was pulled, so I’ve been looking for something similar. This app is an improvement over Rebirth in many ways, especially in how it modernizes the programming process. I was wondering how the included examples got the sweeping effect, as you cannot record knob movements. The method here is to use the LFO. Set it at a low rate and it will give a nice sweeping effect to the bass line. Also included are conditionals to do things like having a crash cymbal only sound on the first of four times a pattern plays (1:4). Couldn’t find that covered online, so it took me a while to figure that out. This app is VERY well designed.

This is by far better than the hardware aside from Apple planned obsolescence being the weakest link in the chain. If you are looking to create with this style of a machine this here is one very powerful and well thought out and wow the developer has kept it updated and going forever, well worth a thank you, come on swedes, you can speak, say thank you!

The whole app is nothing less than phenomenal. To the developer: please keep updating it, especially to keep Ableton link compatibility. Thank you.

This app sounds and works great. It’s a full standalone acid creation suite, you don’t really need anything more than this. But you’ll want to get a midi controller with a bunch of knobs on it so you can do the proper twiddling during performances. I wish it had midi thru, or it’s my failure that received midi clock isn’t sent back out the other end.

It’s taken me a couple of attempts to get the hang of this app and get it properly synced and stay in time with Ableton. But I finally worked it out and it is wonderful! For my setup, the trick was to use track delay settings in Ableton on the audio track that the iPad is feeding into by -35ms and that seemed to line up the acid bass with my Ableton project pretty tight. Before that it was miles out of sync and sounded rubbish. The real magic for me in this app is being able to set your key of your track and hit the generator button to generate new patterns. I cannot stand dialling in patterns on my hardware 303 synth and this solves that problem beautifully. Well done to the person that made this app. I’m going to be selling my hardware now as this is so much easier at just getting the job done.

This app is incredible. Very intuitive and fun. Excellent recreation of classic ReBirth set up but brilliantly reimagined for iPad! I can't believe how great this thing is. Gorgeous and clean aesthetic. Great sound. Excellent user interface. It's very easy to lose hours going down the acid wormhole with this baby. I've only had it a couple of hours and I've made like 10 jams so far. Looking forward to trying out the export feature to see if I can render some cool acid loops to use in Octatrack!

Manchmal kommt es vor, da habe ich aus dem Nichts plötzlich eine Bassline im Kopf, die so herrlich "zieht", dass ich mich am liebsten sofort an den Rechner setzten würde. Dann ist diese App perfekt, um mal eben schnell die 8 oder 16 Takte zu fixieren, um zumindest das Grundkonstrukt festzuhalten, in der Hoffnung, das aktuell dazu vorherrschende Gefühl später beim Transport in die DAW nachvollziehen zu können. Dafür ist die App wirklich perfekt, und mehr mache ich damit auch gar nicht. Schade nur, dass selbst gebastelte Sequenzen nicht zwischen Geräten synchronisiert werden. Das ist, wie ich finde, ein echtes Manko.

- Fixed: Ableton Link was not working in the network between Ableton Live and Pure Acid on the newest iOS versions; - AUv3: Midi In Channel settings bug fixed. Previously, audio units always had [Bass: Any, Drums: 10] Midi In channel setting. Now it corresponds to what you set in the standalone's global Midi In Channel settings (Settings menu); - now you can Paste a bassline (or drums) pattern into a new pattern slot during playback right before jumping to that slot. It is helpful during live playback if you want to create several bassline (or drums) patterns by copying one to another without interrupting the playback. All you have to do is tap the destination pattern slot, and then quickly tap the Paste button right before the cursor jumps to that pattern slot.
