Awesome app

I was worried about latency before I bought this - there is none. I was also concerned that I would have to be overly careful about where to place the phone while Im tapping - I dont.

This app brings the human feel to the world of iOS percussion instruments, a world teeming with apps that lack velocity control and variable accent control. The sounds it comes with are great but it has enough flexibility for you to make your own. Im incredibly unique instrument for five bucks - its a steal.

For the people that arent giving it five stars because they cant use it on stage or find a way to work with its limitations... people just dont use their brain and find ways to work around obstacles. Even the most prestigious studios in the world have limitations. It uses a live sound source as an impulse generator, its got to be quiet. Duh. If youre having retrigger problems youre probably putting the phone on a surface that is too resonant. If you want to use it on stage get a korg wavedrum. This is exactly what I was looking for to create some ambient tribal experimental electronica and I already know how Im going to do it. Jam out on the table, hit record, trim and loop in AudioShare or cubasis or BM2 and then find the tempo. If I like the sounds and I want to use them on stage Ill sample them and set velocity layers. Problem solved. Its not that hard people you need to try harder. If it doesnt work on your iPad do it on your iPhone. Problem solved. Its five bucks and it doesnt crash. Five stars.
