Nu-Trix The Synth Guy -Fractal Bits : a fun drum sounds generator using fractal algorithms10/22/2019  It got teased some weeks ago and got taken by surprise as was expecting it to take some more time and was also curious what kind of app it was going to be as it was hard to tell from the image shown... Now it is here and it is one interesting drum machine and it is only 2 monies. Say go get it now! It creates the sounds randomly (or by editing code) and it is possible to see on the image and the frequencies portrayed what kind of sounds there is. So when finding sounds that you like press LCK on the pad chosen and fill up all the spaces with likable sounds. It is possible to save the sounds sets or single sounds as WAV files and this is of course great for using in other apps/programs that use a sequencer. (Fractal Bits is live playing only, with live recording if desired.) But if using SunVox this app becomes indispensable. It exports as a SunVox instrument with all the drums laid out already when opening it up in SunVox. The little time I had it must say that it has a lot of nice sounds to it and maybe the only small niggle would be that it is necessary with some patience to find cymbal sounds but they are there and it is laziness talking. It works real well for playing live and there is possibilities to set it up with up to 36 playable pads. For me this is like a small christmas present and it is highly recommendable. Google Play: play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nightradio.fbits Fractal Bits is a drum synth with over four billion unique sounds created by fractal algorithms. Each set of 12 drums corresponds to a code of 8 characters (you can save/copy/paste it as plain text). Features: * search for new sounds with three buttons: next random set, edit code, previous set; * three types of keyboards for live drumming: on-screen buttons, PC keyboard, USB MIDI input (Android 6+); * six additional processing parameters + control of all parameters via MIDI; * real-time audio recording to WAV (32-bit); * export to: WAV (one file or a set), SunVox (samples + effects in one file), text clipboard; * the LCK button freezes individual drums - they will not change during the search for new sets. Known solutions for some problems: http://warmplace.ru/android  Okay it is my favorite drum machine on Android. Not the most versatile and listener friendly but just because there is nothing like it. Have not heard anything like it in VST or as hardware either, so yapps totally worth having.
Now it comes loaded with hidden features and updated to make your rhythms go more bouncy and crank it to eleven and encounter the hidden bonus.,.. Yes your pesky neighbors will soon vacate next door. Here is what the developer had to say about it on Instagram: (www.instagram.com/tv/B2hpoaqBKAo/?igshid=i704nhw8gd4e with video) Uploaded a new version, lots of new rhythmic options like polyrhythms and variable retrigger rates. There's also a hidden feature to add controls for the attack on the amplitude and pitch envelopes if you tap the bottom right button of the title five times (to the right of the n in Dragon on the main page.) Hid that because it's not usually used in drum synthesis and to keep things simple. Complete list of changes is on the stores. The program should still be as lightweight as before. This video shows a few of the new presets: disconnect, coininit, rattlesSs, basis by cup, Drassin Google Play: play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.thiiird.drgn Worth spending a little bit of money for some real flavors... Here is what the developer said about the video: Another jam with Dragon. Trying to use the effects together in this one. Got the band-pass filter doing some melodic stuff in the second half. Audio engine coded in Pure Data. Google Play: play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.thiiird.drgn  So it is starting... If you missed the news of Audioroute- It is the first open system (there was one earlier but with less support and there is Soundcamp that only works for high end Samsung devices) that allows for connecting audio apps like plug ins. The developers behind nTrack Studio is behind it and so now this drum machine can be used in that DAW. This is of course another reason to get n-Track Studio as the apps adopting Audioroute will be usable in n-Track as a DAW like one for PC/MAC/Linux with virtual instruments and effects. It will be very exciting to see what app will be next... There is a Demo version as well... Google Play: play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.elliottgarage.newproject ElliottGarage presents EGDR 808 for Android, a drum machine that emulates the vintage hardware from the 80's.

There is a lot of small funny toys now for anyone with some extra cash... These looks like they could be fun and the app provide a lot of control that would have been hard to fit into such small machines otherwise... Myself have been snared into toyland and have a small drum machine -tek.Drum and in the end got a Volca Bass for a good price second hand. So it is nice to have these things around as they provide some inspiration. How much they actually gets used in the end is something else...

There is some apps that have been on a list mentally to get and the last week or so have gotten them and one of them was this. A very good buy in my opinion as it brings a dirtiness that is not found in any other apps (or in 95% of hardware drum machines either). Plus that it is not sample based but synthesized which opens up a lot of more fun hands on tweaking. It is easy to get into and have a lot of posssibilites for tweaky fun but it is not for everyone, but anyone looking for a drum groovebox app to play dirty with should check this out! Update: Added amplitude controls to snare and bass drum Added tone distance control to snare Added noise control to bass drum Added presets Dinon, crushed hornet, 806, 807, grid grime Made font size relative to screen Changed wav naming convention Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.thiiird.drgn P.s- This video shows it at its dirtiest and want to mention that it is possibe to get a bit more cleaner tones and also the kick can get very punchy which is not so obvious here.  This is made by a developer that have made some other apps that is based on using the Caustic engine. He is also the web director of the Cautic website, singlecellsoftware.com. This app seems to me to be the most advanced one yet and if not paying attention it may seem simplistic but seeing the videos it shows to have a lot of possibilities that are not obvious and still being an easy app to use. (Having not used it though, it is still not clear to me how the synthesizer parts work). Can imagine that this would be a very good app for some people. Also as it is based on the Caustic engine it will be very stable and probably work very good on lower spec devices. Always surprised how good Caustic works on my five year old devices that was not that good to begin with!

Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.acid Realtime emulation of a Roland TB303 synthesizer, TR808 and TR909 drum machines. Draw in notes, adjust the sound parameters with knobs, auto create random patterns. High end device required or it will sound like clicks and pops! Play on your computer as a downloadable Java jar: http://bit.ly/2A73L0z Contribute to the development: http://github.com/raver1975/Acid Please go ahead and share your creations with me, because I love acid grooves. A couple hints: There are three stacks, the Sequencer stack, the Drum stack, and the Knob stack. Use the little buttons to push to or restore from the stack, or click directly on pattern to discard the top layer. When the "Free" button is activated, the knobs won't change or record, and the pattern doesn't advance to the next one in the song. You can kind of freestyle it. Watch out for earburns.
