Description

I am currently looking in to a bug that effects saving/loading on iOS 14.0.1

AUv3(Audiounit plug-in) Drum synthesizer for iOS

With SynthDrum Kick, you can synthesize the drum sounds you want in a lightweight​ fast package. No more searching through samples, no more limited preset sounds, no more waiting. Create multiple instances right inside your favourite AU host DAW (GarageBand, Cubase, AUM, BeatMaker 3 etc) for multiple percussion instruments.


Whether you’re looking to create solid punchy house kicks, deep dark tuned trap bass kicks, or any other EDM genre, SynthDrum Kick has you covered.


SynthDrum Kick is a new, intuitive AUv3 AudioUnit plugin for iOS – Specially designed from the bottom up, to make synthesizing kick drums efficiently and quickly.


SynthDrum Kick's sounds are 100% synth-generated. Coupled with all the controls you need, being right at your fingertips, it’s easier than ever to get the kick sound you want. You get to work quickly and productively, without having to compromise and fall back on the same old pre-made kick samples.


Whilst some apps have irrelevant controls and workflows for synthesizing percussion, SynthDrum Kick has a versatile range of controls and a DSP engine specially designed for percussion synthesis.


A user-friendly, adaptable AudioUnit that can get the beats you want, fast, from the moment you load it into your favorite DAW. More sonic versatility for your kicks whether on the move or in the studio, you can quickly create percussion that is unique and specific to your taste.

F.A.Q

Could be awesome...

Came across this app in my downloads after purchasing it a while ago. I thought I would give is a go in AUM and you can make some nice kicks from soft & bassy (a bit like an 808) to strong & harsh (a bit like the 909). It’s not heavy on cpu so you can run loads in auv3 without too much problem. There is a problem though and a fellow reviewer hit the nail right on the head...

Those knobs. Seriously are infuriating. It’s so difficult to fine tune them. What could and should take seconds takes minutes as they just aren’t responsive enough. You could be sliding your finger across the screen and nothing happens or you could lightly touch it and it spins 90 degrees.

A simple enough solution would be to double tap a knob and you get a slider/bar which would allow you to adjust it more precisely. As it is I feel bad giving it just the 3 stars as the sound can be amazing and I did have some fun messing about tweaking kick drums.

Please, please, please fix the knobs and I will definitely give it the 5 stars the sound deserves.

Knobs have been updated to a more intuitive movement since this review. I hope you can now enjoy your app as intended. :)

Pointless really.

Brilliant tool to make hardcore kicks but not if you want to use those kicks in a tune.
User presets don’t save, closing a project then reopening it causes the synth to reset all parameters.
Once you make a kick, there is literally nothing you can do with it. Even if you try to close the project then export your kick as a sample, the parameters on the synth reset so there is no way to use the sounds you make.
Looking for a full refund. Such a shame because you can make really good kicks on this.

Developer Response ,

This is no longer a bug. This was due to an early iOS 14.0.1 bug effecting versus AUv3 apps.
Thank you for having brought this to my attention and discussing it with me through email. Any other problems just email again info@designbypaul.co.uk

Not quite there

I initially thought this was good but I never really use it at all. Basically, it’s just too difficult to get anything good-sounding out of it. The Ruismaker apps beat this by a country mile, which is a shame because it does have promise.

Sorry to hear you are having difficulty synthesizing the sounds you want. You might like the manual https://designbypaul.co.uk/SynthDrumKickManual.pdf
