Little Drum Machine is what the name says: a drum machine for your iPad. Easy to use, with all the necessary bits to give you fast results.
We wanted something fast and simple to work with in our own studio, without the complexity other tools often bring, so we built it. Now we want to share it with you, for free.
Tap a beat into the 16-step grid, drag up or down for velocity, add a little swing, and you have a groove. Start from one of 31 genre presets, or hit Randomize when you'd rather not face a blank grid.
Make sound your way: use the built-in kits, load your own samples, or send MIDI and let your favourite synths and drum apps do the talking.
Features:
• 16-step drum grid with 8 lanes and per-step velocity for accents and ghost notes
• 32 samples across 8 drums included: four variants each, swappable per lane or even per step
• Load your own samples and build your own kits
• Shape every sample: pitch, fine tune, volume, and a start/attack/length/decay envelope
• Delay, reverb and drive effects with per-drum sends: 4 delay modes, 7 reverb modes, 5 drive characters
• Give any lane its own step count and loop length for polyrhythms and polymeters
• Musical Randomize for instant grooves; Mutate to create variations of your patterns
• 16 scenes per preset, chained into full arrangements in the Arranger
• Built-in mixer with per-lane EQ, panning, mute and solo
• Master EQ and a glue compressor with attack, release, ratio and parallel mix
• Swing to get groovy
• MIDI out to trigger external synths and drum apps
• 31 genre presets: Techno, House, Hip Hop, Drum & Bass, Jazz, and more
• Save and manage your own presets
• Light and dark themes
• Little Drum Machine runs on its own or as an AUv3 instrument in any suitable host.
Free, no strings attached.
This drum machine is fantastic and free. It has some of the best presets, and has replaced the previous iphone drum GOAT (octachron). It's also FREE!! All of Snorkel Audios apps are top tier, well thought out and loaded with features. The only complaint and possible reason for people not to vibe with it is the lack of ratchets and multiout. Ratchets is vital, imo. Until then- i have to use a third party to ratchet and without multiout to isolate my ratchets to just hats and snares it kinda jacks with the feel of the drum track.
Powerful , quick and easy to use.

Powerful ( poly meter , poly rhythm , 4 slot samples ) , Has all the necessary facilities, Very handy and convenient. And strangest of all, IT IS FREE 🥹.Maybe a little more attractive colors would make it more attractive.
LDM is now on iPhone too.
