Description (
Characters: 2530 of 4000

VADrumSM is a standalone mobile drum machine featuring a virtual analog drum synthesizer and a step sequencer. The virtual analog drum synthesizer supports AUv3 Audio Unit Extensions, which allows users to use the drum synthesizer inside of AUv3 hosts, such as Apple’s GarageBand®. The sequencer supports Ableton Link. You can synchronize the sequencer to Link-enabled apps and devices. Drum Synthesizer The drum synthesizer is inspired by the iconic analog drum machines of the 1980’s and features 21 drum voices. Sounds of the each drum voices are synthesized in real time by using component level modeling. Pads Pads function as XY controllers, XY controllers with trigger, or drum pads. When using pads as XY controllers, destination can be selected from tone/decay, level or pitch. Step Sequencer The step sequencer is designed to be intuitive and easy to program drum sequences. It is a 16 step sequencer and it has 3 accent level for the each step. Double hit mode allows to program two 32nd notes instead of the one 16th note. There are 4 patterns and can be chained to create 4 bar loop. There are 6 variations of swing, which can be applied in real time. Parameter Automation All XY parameters (tone, level and pitch) and voice switches can be automated, that gives a whole new sonic possibility. MIxer 17 output buses, including a mix output and 16 instrument outputs of Drum Synthesizer can be routed to main output and 4 aux mixers. AUv3 effects can be inserted to each channels. Sum of the 4 aux mixers outputs can be routed to Audiobus’s second output port. FEATURES Drum Synthesizer - 21 analog modeling drum synthesizers, including 2 bass drums, 2 snare drums, 2 sets of low, mid and high toms, low, mid and high congas, rim shot, claves, hand clap, maracas, closed and open hi-hats, cymbal and cowbell. - 3 Layers of 16 XY pad controls (Tone, Level, Pitch) - Drum Pads Mode (Pad) - Trigger Mode (On / Off) - MIDI input (mid note events only) - Output mix signal and all instruments signal - Support Audio Unit Extensions (AUv3) Step Sequencer - 16 step sequencer - Variable Pattern Length - Parameter Automation - Swing: 6 variations - Accent: 3 level - Double hit: on / off - Pattern: 4 patterns - Pattern Length: 1 bar - Loop length: 1 bar or 4 bar - Note length: 16th or 32nd - Record quantization: 16th - Chain mode: on / off - Tempo: 20 BPM - 999 BPM - Support Ableton Link * Ableton Link requires Wi-Fi connections.

This drum machine might be older than dirt but I think it’s one of the best out there!!!

I've given this app 5 stars as although there are some limitations (preset kits / samples and can't import your own) and there is a bit of a steep learning curve (but a good built in manual) there's a lot of possibilities. Being able to assign multiple AU effects for each chanel is brilliant and the AUv3 multi-out adds a whole new level of control in AU hosts. The developer is actively developing the app and I'm interested to see where it goes...

I don’t know what else to say... this drum machine is really well thought out and so easy to use. Within seconds of opening VAdrumSM on its own, I was mangling sequences and sounds with no need for instruction. It just worked. Only one thing I want to see added... variable length patterns per track.

Mostly ok but hihats sound and usable tweak ability could be improved a lot. They have a very limited range where they sound not super bad but not good either. If you move the pitch or decay a bit it easily gets in the unpleasant territory. Timbre is not nice IMO. What’s nice about the hihats is that they behave like in the TR606, so that when you sequemce a closed HH after an open one the closed cuts the envelope of the open and makes of a nice groove when combining the 2 in different ways, love it, but will barely use the feature if the timbre doesn’t get an improvement. Rest of sounds are pretty much ok and some nice ones like toms and kicks, and you have 2 of each, great. Also loving the accent and double steps in the sequencer. Would love to have 32 or 64 pattern lengths instead(or in addition to) of 16 beat pattern chains. This will need multiple AUv3 outs in the future to be really worth the price.

Acheté moitié prix, le bilan est mitigé...pas inintéressant en soi, mais rien de vraiment original non plus, donc même vendu à moitié prix, est-ce bien raisonnable ?
