Description
* "Without doubt the most powerful and genuinely useful percussion app on the App Store right now" Computer Music
* Reached the #1 paid music app in 5 countries
* SonicTouch (www.sonicstate.com) gold award
Impaktor is a drum synthesizer with a vast sonic palette, that turns any surface into a playable percussion instrument.
You just slap your desk like you would a real drum. The real acoustical impulses from the built-in microphone are used as an excitation source for advanced sound modules that simulates behavior of membranes, cymbals, metallophones or strings. This makes Impaktor a highly responsive and expressive instrument.
With semi-modular architecture and several types of synthesis, Impaktor can produce a wide range of tones, from acoustic, like Tabla, Djembe, Marimba, Cymbals, Metal bars to electronic or industrial sounds.
Enjoy the most realistic virtual drumming experience available for mobile devices!
* The app requires headphones to prevent accoustic feedback. To minimize latency use wired models.

Ratings and Reviews
Very good
Works really well, could do with a few tweaks here and there but is great to use. I hope it is successful and we get more updates in the future . Good job
A great way of generating drum sounds
This is a terrific, "focused" app which does a specific thing very, very well.
Impaktor is great for generating a range of sounds. I tend to use it to create overtly "electronic" sounds, though as it has a physical modelling approach it can be used to create "realistic" sounds. I wouldn't use to try and make an exact copy of a physical instrument, but as presets such as "metal drum" and "electric tabla" show, it's great for making instruments that sound like they could be real just that no one's build one yet!
Because it responds to external signals through the microphone, its excellent for making expressive drum tracks. I find myself using it to layer on top of drum machine tracks to add dynamism. And now that it plays with other apps through audiobus, it's much easier to use than when I had to save tracks to audio and then import them (not that this was too hard).
My only suggestion: is would be nice to be able to configure Impaktor as an effect in audiobus so that you could use a pre-recorded audio track as the input.
Impaktor has been around for a while- it's one of the first music apps I ever bought- and it's still a really useful music app that is well worth the money.
Sensational!
I'm blown away! The sound engine is stunning! And so easy and intuitive. Just... So... Good o_o. You can whack all kinds of things for different tones. And now my constant beatboxing / chest drumming can be with real sounds :). This one's a fave.
What it needs is what korg wave drum has, a clip or something for vibration rather than the mic, so you could use it with other sounds in the room.
Anyway thanks guys... Stellar app!
