Afrolatin Drum Machine - Free Beats

The sound is king. All the functionality will improve, but the sounds on all these apps are great. I’ve had funk drummer and future drummer for 2 days and I’m gigging with them. The SOUND! Looking for documentation on Bluetooth start/stop, fill, etc. occasionally tap tempo doesn’t work. Also it would be nice to have each pattern save different eq, reverb settings. My wish list is big, But the main thing is the SOUND. Playing the Chapman Stick, I can use either hand to goof off with the live mode and mess with the rhythms. Assignable Bluetooth will be the bomb for those of us that have our hands busy. Ciao and Aloha!

The app have a considerably good sound quality to be an app. However the “savor” is not really there yet. Some of the patterns sounds might sound a little bit strange in terms of construction elements and rhythm, if you compare them to the real thing. It might be a little simple and amateurish for a real pro Latin rhythm musician appetite. But hey.., it’s a machine and you can program it in most of the ways you might need. I can give easy a 4 stars just because of the usefulness of the percussion instrument sounds that it contains. I don’t know if I can use a MIDI control device with it yet, nor if I can make use of it as a MIDI module, which is the main purpose I bought it for. I really haven’t had the time yet to check those features. But as soon as I found about these important technical aspects I will let you know for sure.

I have the full metronome, full rock drummer and full funk drummer. I am using the lite version of this to see if I want to add it. I am a bass player and dabble in the guitar and keyboards, this app makes practice more enjoyable and more effective. The secret to becoming a great Musician is consistently playing scales, modes, cords or arpeggios and these apps make this fun instead of the boring metronome. The ability to change the parameters and save your groove has enhanced my song writing. Keep up the good work !

I just have the light version which is basically just a sampling of the App. It sounds great and has enough variation and programmability to make me think this is the app I've been looking for. There is an ability for the program to "improvise" or jam which is a great feature. The rolls are cool but seem kind of similar, I'm not sure if you can program them or not. All in all seems like I will get this or something similar.

It's a very good app to play in live gigs, I found a couple that it could be good to consider to be fixed: When I'm looking for my customstyle in Favorites, automatically is set the Drumset that I made for that style, but when I'm using Pads, the drumset does not change with the style. That happened also building a song, it's not possible to change the drumset. I would be grateful if this issue it could be fixed, cause playing live, I can't use pads or songs.
