8 individual 3-layer synth engines to design, shape and sculpt powerful drum hits.
Depth modulation area with envelopes, LFOs, and a complex modulation matrix to change most parameters using a wide array of sources.
Finest noise table conversion technology, followed by a filter, distortion and side chain compressor.
••• Sequencer •••
Enjoy smart randomization to create patterns that feel natural and organic and add some feeling to the pattern with swing and 'humanization'.
Move various parameters along to match the notes, such as velocity, pitch, decay, probability, roll and offset.
••• Kit Page •••
Bring all the individual sounds together in one place, select new sound presets or even randomly generate new sounds based on various sound type profiles and give your kit some character, punch and an analogue feel!
••• Mix •••
With Volume, Mute, Solo, Pan as well as two reverb return channels you can send any of your sounds to at any time and also assign the mixer parameters as modulation destinations.
The Room reverb gives you a nice familiar space, letting you glue together multiple drum sounds, while the Hall reverb gives a massive space you can use either as a utility, or as way to fire your sounds off into the cosmos!
••• Mapping •••
Create up to 16 individual patterns (from scratch, or using the easy copy/paste function), and chain these together into a sequence, up to 16 patterns long. Use your MIDI keyboard or controller to send values that quickly and seamlessly switch between patterns on the fly.
Quickly remove and add the individual hits, trigger rolls of different speeds, or even have them as pitch modifiers.
••• Auto- and Manual Remixing/Fills •••
Mash up your patterns with one simple parameter and produce all sorts of automatic and random edits to your sound.
Add creative fills and variations to your loop to keep it constantly moving with fresh ideas - great for jamming or to prevent audio stagnation.
••• Wavetable/Resynth Import & Sampler •••
Import your own audiofiles to create Wavetables. Resynthesize Hihats, Snares, even Chords with the Resynth import feature or switch to Sampler mode to play back samples the ordinary way.

Ratings and Reviews
Unique, deep & incredible Drum Machine! 👻
Been waiting for this to be released on iPadOS ever since it first appeared and it’s everything I hoped for a more! I’m not surprised SugarBytes boldly made this free to explore as they knew as soon as you experience what is has to offer you’re going to want the full version! The thing I love is that it’s not just another drum machine but something that is genuinely innovative/unique; complimenting the other incredible drum machines available on iOS through its powerful multi layer synthesis engine(s) and intuitive sequencer. It is really well designed, has a beautiful GUI and provides diverse rhythm and sound design potential. A highly recommend machine!
Warning - don’t upgrade to iPadOS 14.2
Yesterday I made the following statement: I have been unable to get this app to run on iPads with iPadOS 14.2. It has worked under 14.1. It will work under 13.7 and perhaps on versions between 13.7 and 14.1 (although I have not been able to test this).
Today, after excellent work from the developer, the app now works under 14.2. Well done Sugar Bytes.
However, I have been having problems importing samples from either AudioShare or from Files. Fortunately, I discovered that sometimes the option switched from Sampler to Resynth. Before importing a sample make sure the Sampler option is selected.
Crashes almost immediately on iOS14.2 ☹️ but fixed almost immediately in an update 😃👍🏻✨
Looked forward to trying this on my iPad Pro but the app crashes immediately on launch. Hope a fix is imminent.
Update - within just hours of writing this review there was an update that’s fixed the issue! Fabulous instrument and when piped into a pro sound system forms the basis of a great percussion sequencer. Tip - if you are looking for the global tempo setting it’s hidden in the settings, would be nice maybe to surface that to the main screen in a future update along with tap tempo.
Developer Response ,
Has been fixed in v.1.0.1.
