Producers who follow my work know Elastic Drums is one of my all time top 10 apps. Elastic Drums is a music app showcasing an interactive drum kit, that enables to create a huge range of rhythmic grids, ranging from classical analog drumkits up to experimental soundscapes. It contains six channels of high quality synthesized drum sounds, a step sequencer and 4 effect channels. All important control parameters are automatable. The result: Elastic drum composition with a unique character.
– Improvement: Sync Mode gets shown next/below the bpm value
– Improvement: Audiobus host icon gets shown to quickly switch in Audiobus sessions
– Improvement: Audiobus state saving is better reflecting loaded presets
– Improvement: Step on/off switching in velocity mode worked bad on iPhone version
– Bugfix: Mute button did not unmute step 1 in time in song mode
– Bugfix: Jam – trig – buttons did not work correctly when using Midi Controllers for value changes
– Bugfix: Sometimes wrong tempo values got showed in Ableton Link sessions
– Bugfix: Added Interruption handler for an iOS 11 incidence, that could cause ED to quit after some minutes in InterApp-Audio sessions (noisy buzz sound error)
Features:
– 6 synth channels with 13 different percussion synth engines (kick, snare, hihat, clap, tom, wobble, fm, fm4, square, grain, synth, drone, sampler)
– 12 parameters for each synth engine
– automation for each parameter via knob recording or velocity
– 4 send effect channels with 2×13 mono effects and 2×11 stereo effects
– automation for all of the 8 possible effect parameters via xy pad
– master effects (stutter, delay, compressor …)
– 16 step sequencer for the 6 channels, each with it’s own tempo multiplier & length
– record audio and export to Soundcloud or Audioshare
– email audio recordings and presets
– Audiobus, Audiobus Remote, Inter-App Audio and Ableton Link support
– Midi learn/Midi implementation of the most important parameters
Because all sounds get generated in realtime, the app is cpu heavy! iPhones 5 and greater can handle it with no problem, on iPhone 4s effects 3 and 4 get switched off by the engine automatically to save some cpu power. iPhone 4 and iPad1 are NOT recommended!
