Praise for Patterning : Drum Machine :

“Patterning is brilliant; beautiful to look at, so very clever in terms of the programming options and, as far as I’m aware, unique as a drum/rhythm programming environment” - MusicAppBlog

“Patterning is an amazingly fun and creative app …The look, feel and layout are all first rate and the sounds are excellent. Even beginners will be able to create something that sounds cool, and more experienced users will be able to put together some amazing beats complete with automation and per-drum settings the likes of which you usually need a full DAW setup for.” - AskAudio

“I had thought all my iOS drum box desires were satisfied, but I was wrong. There’s room for another and this is it. Patterning has many unique strengths, and beats any hardware drum machine when it comes to polyrhythms and evolving patterns. It’s as mesmerizing to watch as it is to listen to.” - Sound on Sound

The Gold Standard of Sequencers

There’s a reason why Patterning is considered by many to be the ultimate sample sequencer - it’s intuitive, fun and incredibly powerful all at the same time. The design of this app is magnificent, everything is laid out intuitively and the more one experiments with the features the full potential becomes apparent. There are those who consider Patterning to be the closest software has ever come to the depth of the mighty Elektron sequencer, particularly the Digitakt. I am amongst those who believe this app makes the Digitakt largely redundant, which is significant considering the price difference. However, comparisons are for scrubs, so I won’t dwell on this. Simply put, this is the most awe-inspiring sequencer I have ever used, and it is a must-have for musicians on an iOS device.

Fantastic App, but missing essential feature

First up I want to say that this is by far my favourite sample based drum machine app on iPasOS. It has almost everything I could ask for in a drum sampler, and I have used it as a stand in for my Digitakt on several occasions as I has a lot of the same functionality.
Unfortunately however, I can’t use it in my usual workflow as it doesn’t have AUV3 functionality, so i dont use it nearly as much as i would like to.
I usually make music in Drambo when using my iPad, and unfortunately Drambo doesn’t support IAA apps, which i totally understand as it is old and almost obsolete technology, so why bother incorporating it, right?
I genuinely hope that AUV3 functionality is incorporated into this app to future proof it as it would be a huge shame to lose it.
If it wasn’t for that though, I would give Patterning 2 a perfect score.

Absolutely brilliant.

I already loved the original version of patterning but version 2 takes it to a whole new level!.
The fact that you can record each loop in by hand for each part of the numerous drum kits and then send them collectively or individually via midi to other apps is just amazing. Not only to one app either. You can send each note to different apps you have loaded into your AUM session and you can play just the midi send, just the patterning kit sound or both.
I also love the new ratchet count effect you can place on any note in the loop.
Bloody awesome drum sequencer this is…. Love,love,love it 😊
