Description

As electronic musicians ourselves, we, at Fingerlab, have developed DM1 with the intention of delivering the perfect mix between fun playability and powerful sonic capacities. We always keep in mind the importance of a beautiful design with the right balance of powerful abilities while avoiding clumsy, overbusy interfaces.
Check our 154 electronic drum kits. 42 classic vintage drum kits plus 112 in-house produced electronic kits, edited and mastered at Fingerlab professional studio.

DM1 offers 5 main sections:
1 - THE STEP SEQUENCER frees your imagination with a smart use of the multi-touch screen. Just turn on and off steps in your sequence with the tip of your fingers to create cool beats, or unexpected rhythms!
2 - THE DRUM PADS simply lets you play and record the beat that tickles your fingers. No need to be a first-class drummer, automatic quantize does the work for you.
3 - THE MIXER for quick and subtle sound mixing of your drum kits. Featuring settings for volume, pitch, sample length, custom drum kit element for each channel, mute and solo mode.
4 - THE FX TRACKPADS a creative duo of FX trackpads to distort, modulate and transform your beats. The effects include: Overdrive, Delay, Reverb, Envelope follower, Phaser, Dub Delay, Formant, Texturizer, Robotizer, Filter, Dalek filter, Compressor and Noise Gate.
5 - THE SONG COMPOSER allows you to quickly make a song with the beat patterns you have created. Just drag and drop the patterns onto the timeline. Fast and easy.

Got you covered

Out of all the drum samplers and apps I've purchased and used, This app covers nearly everything. this is my most preferred due to its versatility, in terms of sequencing drums, recording or jamming live.. But also for its mixer and fx features. It's delays and verbs aren't the best but they can be tweaked for greater impact. The range of sounds and kits are awesome, even moreso that they don't demand in-app purchases! The swing features are pretty mean too, but all good drum apps should have this! It's compatibility with audiobus is a massive advantage overall, especially for users who want to track their drums into other projects which would be most of us, and the fact the play button drops your beats instantly and is not delayed like other apps, this is essential when tracking into other software/projects. Awesome product on the whole, would def recommend all round! Only suggestion for improvement would be for more options for timing signatures (double time/semiquavers) and extra kits/instruments.. Thanks finger lab!

Something has gone wrong

Something has gone wrong with this app. It used to be great but now it doesn’t seem to hold saved drum patterns which is embarrassing in the middle of a show.
Fix this right away as I recall paying for this app.

Great sounding fun to use drum machine

Not only is this app very fun to use, it also sounds GREAT. The best thing about the app is the intuitive interface, which is very fun to use. It gives you a sixteen step grid sequencer, which can be viewed like a Monome (with a whole screen of steps, 16 for each drum) or like an Electron Machinedrum (with sixteen steps and you select which drum you want to edit). There is also an MPC style pads view for live playing, which can also be recorded or overdubbed. You can also arrange patterns into a song, and add effects.

The selection of different drum kits is large and they all sound impressive. There's lots of 808s and 909s, as well as some other retro drum machines and some more experimental sounds too.

Please note that you cannot export your audio as a WAV or AIFF file, nor can you upload to Soundcloud or import your own samples. Adding these three features would make the app perfect in my opinion. Also, the effects are good but not great.

For the money though, this is a fantastic app that is fun to use, sounds great, and will give you hours of entertainment. Well worth investing in. I strongly recommend it.
