AKI Drum Machine
Pro Drum Machine for Musicians
$39.99 · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Introductory price: $39.99 (reg. $49.99). Pro arranger-style drum machine for live/studio. Import from MIDI files (Custom, Korg, Yamaha). MIDI + SF2 compatible.
AKI Drum Machine is a professional-grade arranger-style rhythm machine for iPad and iPhone, designed for musicians, songwriters, producers, and performers who want quick, hands-on drum backing without opening a full DAW. Import MIDI drum styles, trigger song sections live, assign your own drum sounds, and play everything from the screen or a MIDI controller. It gives you playable drum sections, fast tempo control, easy sound swapping, and a portable library of styles and sounds in one app.
Import MIDI drum sections — including drum sections exported directly from Yamaha and Korg arrangers — and play them live with hands-on control over every section. Trigger intros, variations, fills, breaks, and endings in real time, just like a hardware arranger.
