"A deep world to get lost in - This delivers that in spades!" - Jamie Lidell, Hanging Out With Audiophiles Unfiltered Audio is back on iOS with its instant classic Battalion, perhaps the most advanced drum machine available on any platform. Battalion includes over 20 synthesis algorithms and 5 sampler algorithms, each built for advanced sound design via simple controls. All eight drum channels can use both samples and synthesis simultaneously. 11 filter modes and 11 distortion algorithms add further sculpting options to each voice. Additionally, all eight drum channels contain rich modulation available for every parameter, including two LFOs, two envelopes, and more. A global Performance page shows a simplified interface that allows you to manipulate every drum channel simultaneously. Want to hear your drum beat tuned down an octave with a single knob? Done. Need a global boost to distortion or a dramatic filter gesture? Easy. Each drum channel contains two sequencers. The first sequencer is a manual step sequencer with ratcheting, probability, velocity, pitch, micro-timing, and more... per-step! Each parameter lane can run at a different speed and length, making generative, evolving patterns a breeze. The second sequencer combines Euclidean patterns with an Unfiltered-designed permutation engine. Both sequencers run in parallel and receive further shaping via an array of Sequence Modifiers. Want one drum sequence to speed up while another slows down? The SHAPE parameter is here for you. Need that hi-hat to be a bit lazy? SHIFT will nudge it to rush or drag. And if you think drum machines have no soul, wait until you combine per-channel SWING with global HUMANIZE. All of this advanced sound design is glued together with a flexible mixer and Unfiltered Audio's evocative effects. Battalion contains two new Unfiltered Audio effects: Shatter Delay and Headspace Reverb. Shatter Delay combines granular stretching, dynamic ducking, sample crushing, and feedback spectrum sculpting into a melange of echo bliss. Dubby, dark, dotted echoes? Chaotic glitch storms? It's all here. Headspace Reverb evolves Silo's ten classic reverb algorithms with additional filtering options. You will always find the perfect reverb for your drum mix. Battalion includes over 150 presets to get you started. These cover a wide variety of genres and tempos, from glitch and IDM by esteemed sound designer DataBroth, to futuristic hip-hop from Willie Green (head of our favorite Backwoodz Studioz). From smoky and loose to shiny and mechanical, Battalion is ready to be your go-to solution for every rhythmic task.}

One of the best drum machine on iPad, if not THE best. I love the swing/shuffle per track, the possibility to have negative swing/shuffle (it's so rare to find this feature), and also the possibility to micro shift an instrument track back or ahead in time. Which makes it better than Drum Computer. Battalion sounds super analog. I'm in love with it.

The apps UA releases are all top notch and this one is no exception. It’s a stunning drum machine, allowing you to combine a drum synth engine with a sample for each of the 8 channels. It’s got a sequencer, pattern creator, FX per layer and global LFOs, randomization options, EQs, filters. Everything in a MIDI mappable , easy to use UI. Worth it even if it’s not on sale.

Allows for randomising a timbre of the drum sounds leading to producing inspiring drum patterns (reminds me of autechre). An idea for future updates: enable folders for user samples , otherwise I have just endless list of those.

This is the best drum synth on iOS without a doubt. The sequencer is fantastic as well, but the drum creation aspect is on a whole different level. So many options from top to bottom to create the exact sound you are looking for. My only complaint, and a pretty glaring one for an app designed to make new one shots, is the ability to export the one shot audio directly from the app. I should be able to export each individual sound from the 8 different slots directly from Battalion into a folder, instead of using Logic Pro as an extra step. I checked the manual and saw no way to do so, which is a shame. Fix this issue and I give this app 5 stars.

This guys thought of almost everything the fact that lfos can driven at audio rate is crazy… pitch mapping and per sound eq would take this to the next level. The performance and sequencer pages are just next level. A really well throughout app that I hope gets regular updates please developers don’t let this one go!

Im not really sure where to start but this drum machine is the best I’ve ever seen or heard for iOS, iPad, macOS, and all platforms. That’s all I have to say about that. It has endless variations, modulations, permutations, and non traditional elements. There is no doubt about it, if you are looking for the best electronic drum machine, AUv3, or plug in, this is the one you’ve been waiting for. What Klevgrand One Shot! did for acoustic drums (auv3) for iPad, Unfiltered Audio did the same for electronic/synth drums on iPad. Thank you TrickyFlemming !

Yes, it is another drum machine and groove box, but it is a great one. It rises in a single stride to the first rank of examples of the type. Battalion accomplishes this with a flavor all its own, with, for example, precise, type-friendly controls: double-tap a parameter to enter a desired value, when you know what you want, without fiddling with touch-screen GUI thingies, speeding the workflow for various program functions. The merging of synth and sample sound sources has been done in other apps, but not in this way, with these options. Modulation options are ample and easy. Sequencing is layered and potent. There is plenty going on without overwhelming a somewhat prepared or maybe - imagine - a manual-familiar user. For someone with favored rhythm/groove options already on this platform, as I am, this one still stands out as a characterful fun alternative that might even steal some quality time from even loyal users of other apps. It is not a problem - you can work with more than one drum machine. Do not deprive yourself of this lovely and sometimes edgy option. So when will we see Lion or other as-yet unmobilized but would-be must-buy tools from our friends at UF? For those of us who do not get enough time with our desktop/laptop set-ups, these mobile-platform releases are so very helpful. More, please.

Thank you for using Battalion! It has been a fun launch so far. We have a much-requested workflow improvement along with some bug fixes. - Double-clicking (or tapping) a sequencer parameter step will reset the value to a default (i.e. pitch, velocity, ratchet). - Fixed a crash when dragging a drum track onto the Voice/Performance button at the top of the channel selector. - Fixed a graphical bug where the Voice/Performance button would light up when dragging a track over it, suggesting a potential drop. - Fix for Clap engine not choking properly.
