Fair enough I suppose, and the ads are mercifully brief. The remaining ones can be individually unlocked by watching ads to earn points redeemable for patterns. A small fraction of the patterns are immediately available. The styles lean towards pop/rock and Latin. The patterns are rather mechanical sounding and short (mostly 2 bars). The overall package is adequate as a practice tool. Dropping the pitch adds weight and realism, whereas raising pitch gives a more electro feel. This goes a ways towards remedying my original complaint about the limited number of samples. It seems like the samples were expanded to 4 kits (Standard, Rock, Jazz, Latin) and there’s a slider that controls the overall pitch. Keeping with the vintage drum machine aesthetic, the samples themselves don’t exactly shine, but wouldn’t sound out of place in an old machine.
As with those machines, the patterns are sequenced drum samples rather than a looped recording of a live drummer. This app is basically a large collection of drum patterns like you might find as presets in a 1980s era drum machine. And the tempo is saved when you organise playlists. You can pick by time signature.Just search with the time signature. We have implemented previews, so with 1 tap you can check out a drum loop. Let’s do this developers, you got this far, now let’s make this app usable. Oh also saving favorites should just be a single tap while your pattern is playing, not the mini journey one must embark on, and it SHOULD save at the tempo you chose, not the pattern default. This is an octopad living in a Vdrum world. And most importantly it would be nice to be able to pick by time signature.
You only get one bar, and two fill buttons which you have to physically depress (while you are trying to play along) They often sound electronic and so quantized. However you are about four to five steps away from that with every loop change. A great improvement would be if, while your beat is playing you could, with one click open the pattern list (or better, upon picking your track it reverts to the pattern page) and tap your next beat without a break in play. There is no fast way to preview a beat to see if you like it so you must make the journey into the world of page changes and screen taps to find that, wow, that beat’s lame, and then start again to find.you get it. When I found this app I thought that it would be good to practice the Handpan with different time signatures and tempos so I paid for it, but the way in which you jump from one beat to another is SO incredibly convoluted that it makes looking for another riff zero fun and therefore I often just stay in the beat I’m in. Decent beats but the interface is so, not intuitive.
