Description


Dawnbeat inherits the best part of the classic hardware samplers and takes it further by adding features only possible on a multi-touch device. 
Create more natural patterns by tapping and swiping pads. 
Focus on creativity, you don't need to select a tempo before hit record to finally play a pattern until you get the right take, just play and forget about to record! Dawnbeat is always recording!

Multi-touch and draggable pads:
- Pads are multi-touch, play a single pad with two fingers at the same time!
- Pads are individually configurable, allowing re-triggering when dragging for amazing fills, tone variations .
- Mute and Solo buttons for pads available.
- Mute groups.

Memorizer:
- DawnBeat is always recording pad events, you'll never miss a beat, play and experiment and when you hear something you like, it's already recorded! simply go to Memorizer and select the desired events.

Mixer:
- 4 assignable BUSSES and one MAIN BUS. Assign pads to busses, assign internal effects or AUV3 effects to busses. 
- Mute and Solo buttons.

Polyphonic pads:
- Pads can be turned polyphonic, import a piano-like sample and play and sequence chords with a single pad.

MIDI IN and MIDI OUT:
- Trigger samples from a MIDI controller, play melodies from a MIDI piano.
- Sequence hardware drum machines and synths from Dawnbeat.
- Use Dawnbeat as an intermediary between a midi keyboard and a synth, save the sequences you are playing. Dawnbeat can save poliphonic sequences!
Pattern sequencer with piano editor.
- Swing, count-in, metronome.

Audio Units:
- Dawnbeat support AUv3 effects and instruments!

Built in Effects:
- Reverb, Delay, Compressor, Flutter, Gate, Tremolo, Noise, Filter, Chorus, Equalizer, Stutter and Tape slow motion.
- Effects can be rearranged.

Built-In sample browser:
- 6 drum kit sample libraries, and 1 bass sample library.

Selectable internal sample rate:
- Internal sample rate can be changed, choose between HI-FI and LO-FI sample rates.

AUTO-SLICER:
- AutoSlicer detects hit points and slices audio into individual files minimizing the need for manual editing. Chop up any audio file in a few seconds.

Recording sample rate can be selected.

Nice one!

Love it. You got something here. This is a lot of fun. It has almost everything you could ask for in a sampler/groove box app. Looking forward to seeing the improvements. My 3 wishes is for the record button to be visible while playing piano. Especially in landscape mode, “make auv3” would be nice if it was directly on the pads page, and for each sequence to have its own dedicated mutes. Haven’t tried it on the iPad yet but def excited and hopefully improvements are made to get functions into the fewest pages possible. At least for iPhone

2ND Update - consistent improvements.

Apple won’t let me update my original review but I had to write a new review to talk about how great Dawnbeat is. It started off with promise and consistent updates make this app a sampler you can’t ignore. Bit by bit it’s been enticing me to step away from the Marsupial king and do more in DB. The only thing that’s bothering me right now (and maybe I’m just missing something) is there doesn’t seem to be an easy way to copy a sequence from one page to the next. The only way I can see to do it is go in to a sequence, select all, edit copy, go to a new sequence, edit past. It would be helpful if there was a sequence manager like the pad manager. Otherwise this app is so much fun and I get interesting grooves going instantly with it.

To developer: I know we can copy a sequence by dragging it. This seems to only work when copying a sequence to the same page. If I want to copy one for 16 to 32 and try to drag the sequence, it just freezes on the screen and often crashes the program.

Hi

To copy a sequence, drag the sequence and drop over an empty one.

Yo! We Got One Here!

Look. I have an amazing recording studio, yet I spend more of my time creating with the iPad. I have sold multitudes of millions as a writer/producer with Universal Music. 30 plus years in the game! I can tell you technology has changed the game for the better and worse in the music industry! This beautiful little gem is not getting the it’s just due! Yeah, we all have Koala, and others… but it’s something about this app. As long as the dev doesn’t get disenchanted with how many are using it, and constantly does things in here, the other apps aren’t, this app will be at the top of what it does momentarily. Trust me. Kudos to the devs or dev! Can’t wait to see what’s next in the updates! 100% 🔥🔥🔥
