Intuitive, fast, logic…” “Whatever I try, I always come back to BAM to start my tracks. Either to jam live and have fun or to build the basics then export in audio or MIDI and complete in another app.. BAM is versatile enough to allow any musical genre. The team is responsive and helpful in case of questions or issues. I like: intuitive & simple yet powerful UI, built in effects, work with audio loops, export capabilities.” “How did I miss this one? Easy to learn and like nothing else for live jamming. Get two iPads and run this on one and DRAMBO on the other and go wild. Who needs hardware when you can have this much fun for the price of a couple of beers.” “I’ve never clicked with what people call ‘groovebox’ apps but this just made sense to me and I had instant results. The more I use it the more I learn and I realize the possibilities it brings. I’m making some slow, dark, atmospheric stuff with it as well as making quick, rhythmic things. The developers are passionate about what they do and respond to questions quickly. I wrote this a few days after buying BAM and I can’t wait to learn it inside out to fully explore it. I think this app is an absolute bargain considering the amount of work that has gone into it and the features included.” “This app is incredible. The demo tunes alone are well worth it!” “Great app for building whole songs, courtesy of the built-in clip launcher. The developer is very active, and constantly fixing bugs and adding new features, so definitely recommended.” “This app has me excited to make arrangements, jams and tracks on the ipad. Your YouTube tutorials were super helpful. The app is easy to use with powerful tools to have a lot of fun. Really appreciate the work you put into this and all of your apps. We are very fortunate. Thank you. Keep jammin!” “This is literally the type of app I’m looking for, FAR easier to use than most music programs and so far their best work since DRC.”

Dope App! Slight learning curve!

This is great app. Most of the tutorials for it has been geared toward the step sequencer and piano roll. For iOS producers who use BM3, GB, iMPC pro 2, etc… it’s not at the moment a app you can just dive in, set you loop points and built your beat. I love work flow and GUI, but I would like to see more tutorials for traditional beat makers too, especially those who don’t use scenes like this. We call them patterns. Lol My wish list would be for loop point, a chord button on the keyboard with a preset tab, and a drag & drop sample slicer that lays the sample out chromatically. It’s a competitor to Logic Pro for IPad in my opinion. Way better than Pro Dudes Sketch! Great work!

Sample folder issue

I am having an issue on iPhone version when I try to scroll thru my folders and touch the screen folders automatically open instead of being able to scroll to a folder. For instance when I try to swipe up to my snare folder as soon as I touch the screen whatever folder I fit opens up.

Developer Response
Thanks for reporting this issue. This looks like a major drop back. We need to investigate and fix ASAP.

Imaginando is no new name to iOS and this epic groovebox is a must have for iOS music producers. I admit I love grooveboxes, but this one is special and powerful. It also really allows for so much on top of hosting auv3 and fx plugins. You don’t really have to leave BAM, but if you want to add in other plugins you can. Awesome job!
