Ce séquenceur dédié aux drums est très abouti, simple d’emploi mais très efficace. Les développeurs sont de plus à l’écoute et les fréquentes mises à jour apportent de pertinentes améliorations souvent accompagnées de nouvelles fonctions. Un must 👍🏻

Super facile à utiliser permet de créer des beats incroyables en 10 secondes. Manque un random et ce sera la perfection

tob nol
ca serait bien qu'il y ait d'autres preset de mapping pour d'autres boites a rythmes (par ex : ielectribe, seakbeat, elasticdrum, drumjam, patterning2, vatanator)

Great Drum Sequencer but not only
esignomanu
After seen some videos on YouTube, I’ve decided to buy Octachron. Immediately I loved it. Easy to use, but if you pass sometime to explore it, you will find all its great features. The smart randomizer is really useful. The presets for mapping the drum apps. Octachron can also generate scales and you can connect a synth into Aum for example. I would have so much to say. But just one thing. It worth the price. A must have for all musicians on IPad. Thank you to the developers.
