Was thinking it could be fun, but it currently is a pure system hog and crashes all the time. Hope it will improve.
This is superb news – a great drum machine for iOS has made the trip into ones computer. Sadly enough there’s no VST/AU version available, which would have hit in the middle of the spot. I just wonder, WHY? 🙁
I would buy the VST/AU immediately. This is an oddball and not very useful to me. I love DM1 so much but non-integratability is ok on iOS but just bizarre on the desktop. That and the requirement of 10.7. Nearly half of macs are still on snow leopard.
awesome ! too bad its only for 10.7 though. actually upgrading just to be able to use this..
propellerhead should take a lesson from these guys.
Really too bad there is no AU/VST version. I’d pay substantially more for that.
DM1 is a great drum machine on iOS but standalone on the mac… I don’t know. A plugin version would have been a lot more useful. The price seems pretty good though…
A great sounding and quick beat sketchpad, routed the audio into Ableton no sweat, best five bucks I spent in a while! Also really love the samples in this app, some badass creative options!
Cool! It comes with a lovely woolen hat! Does that mean I can play that software outside in the winter? Purple is quite nice… do you also have pink? …and most import when I feel like wearing a woolen hat inside, I always need a fresh baby bottle of milk.
Now seriously, the software has an extremely nice price tag and seems cool… But to whom does it cater when you see a sissy milksop in a woolen hat playing round with it?
Am i crazy?? Can’t find a way to export separate tracks on the OSX version…
It has doubled its price up to 9,99$. Not a nice move, indeed…
