something that lets me 'record' a pattern by playing the drum padsĪnything out there in this ballpark, or is EG Pulse really about it?ĭrumless in Is Beatmaker 3 a drum sequencer? Does it let you make 'patterns' and put the the 'patterns' together in a song? Can Beatmaker 3 'play' or receive MIDI notes from Atom Roll?.something that lets me create a song as a collection of patterns, with up to 120 patterns possibly even looping segments or a smaller set of patterns within a song.something that lets me copy and paste patterns via CMD+C and CMD+V.something that lets me load my own wave files for a pad (EG Pulse does this).something that lets me manually type in the MIDI mapping for each pad.something that lets you set the note velocity per note in the pattern (so in one place in a pattern, the kick can be loud, in another place in the SAME pattern the kick can be set softer).something that allows notes or divisions to be grouped into triplets.something with up to 64th note divisions.There are certainly great features about the app, no doubt. you have to feed EG Pulse a MIDI message to change what MIDI note triggers the pad - there's no user interface where you can just type in the MIDI note number while playing a keyboard seems easy - there's still connections and set up work.the grid view won't enlarge well - especially if you have it set to 1/64th note divisions, you can't enlarge the screen to zoom in where you want to add/remove notes.unless you play or feed EG Pulse with a MIDI file you can't change the velocity (volume) on a single pad within a song (a louder kick in one pattern or one place, and a quieter kick in a different place).a single drum kit has 16 sounds and that's it.I have EG Pulse, but I really, really don't like it. RECOMMENDATIONS for iPad Drum Machine/Sequencer (to Run in AUM). There's lots of different kits, and even non-kit drums like bongos, congas, shakers, etc. For example: snare with springs, snare without the springs, rimshot snare. A kit in EZ Drummer has around 40 unique sounds. I love the percussion sounds and there are tons and tons and tons of out of the box beats to start with. In my recording studio (PC based), I use both Groove Agent and EZ Drummer. You couldn't change the volume or timbre of a single pad within a song or pattern. It was a lot of work sequencing background drums. That was back before anyone ever said 'drum like a Boss'. In the old days (start laughing), I had a Boss DR-550 MK2 physical drum machine.
