I originally wrote a worse review but I've spent more time really digging in to learn it. Now I only have 2 complaints. First there's a small bug. When Im using it as an IA in Cubasis, I have MIDI clock receive turned off in iSpark (using it as sound module with MIDI notes from Cubasis, not to sequence patterns within iSpark). This prevents iSpark from starting pattern playback (as intended). But the next time I start up Cubasis, it loads iSpark, and even though MIDI clock receive it turned off, iSpark still starts playing back when I press start in Cubasis. I have to set it to MIDI clock off (even though it says it's already off, it doesn't actually remember that setting). Secondly, I really with this was usable as an au3 plugin. Then there would be plugin delay compensation and better timing of the drums locked to the Cubase grid. But pretty good, raised my rating from 3 to 4 stars.

This is a tool with a lot of potential, one thing I notice is that there are sound artifacts when you start to change the parameters, there are awful glitching sounds sometimes when you change parameters, one reason I wanted this is to acquire more drum sounds and potentially make massive songs it does that, but at the same time it’s not recording worthy if there are going to be little glitch pops and sound artifacts that you have to edit out, I can confidently work on the Electribe wave app and know that I will potentially have something to record later on, it’s not a high quality finished product if there are audio pops and sound artifacts all over the place, the beatstep pro is a fantastic machine this app does not exemplify the excellent work Arturia is capable of, please improve this app

I love Arturia apps and of course their hardware. Let’s just say I have been using iOS apps in addition to hardware and software for many years. I even have beta tested about seventy or so apps on my iPhones and ipads-I am an app addict.I even devoted an entire iPad for a few live gigs so I could run this app with the Sparkle controller (not as my main drum source as of the last year or so the app is not very stable).This is one of the best iOS apps for drums imho. It needs an update though. I know they were cool enough to give it away for free during the pandemic but PLEASE update it. I know you guys rarely update your apps but don’t abandon these stellar apps.All and all this is really nice iOS drum machine. Has decent sounds. The sequencer is easy to use. Also you can really tweak the sounds with a lot more effects than you would think. I even can get a few gnarly effects by doubling the phaser effects which impressed me enough to grab a SparkLe (my buddy sold it to me for 15 bucks brand new so I would have grabbed it anyways but it brought the app to use outside the studio which is always fun).But this app is solid, only have has a few issues, and hopefully there will be an update soon!

I own a lot of hardware and software drum machines and imo the hardware is limited while the software is all the same, with piano roll style sequencing. This app is the best of both worlds. The included packs cover just about every genre, all sounds are tweakable in so many ways, plus you can add your own. Every instrument has its own mixer with great effects. Plus performance effects that actually sound professional. To have this in hardware you would need a drum machine with individual outs, tons of cables and mixer, effects units and a DAW. True, you can do all of this in a DAW, but the setup would take forever and the MIDI controllers for performance would cost hundreds. Only con, please add MIDI learn! I do use controllers sometimes but they're not really needed honestly.
