About Elastic Drums
Keyboards: „An extremely flexible beatbox with tons of character."
CDM: "Finally, Your Pocket Gets a Perfect Drum Synth: Elastic Drums for iPhone."
FACT Magazine: „One of the iPad’s best drum machines.“
Unlike most drum apps that rely heavily on samples, Elastic Drums uses drum synthesis models - making the sounds much more elastic and deeply tweakable. This approach allows for radical sound shaping, and when combined with the app’s versatile effects section, Elastic Drums becomes not just a beat-making tool, but a powerful instrument for sound design.

- 12 parameters for each synth engine
- Automation for each parameter via knob recording or velocity
- 4 send effect channels with 2x13 mono effects and 2x11 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 via Airdrop or Audioshare
- Email audio recordings and presets
- Ableton Link synchronization and Ableton Live Set Export

Goes WAY Beyond Just a Drum Machine!
...it is a 6-channel, multi-timbral sequencer/synthesizer employing several different synthesis methods: samples, FM, granular, et. and each method provides deep control over several sonic parameters including panning and FX levels and all of them can be automated in real time! And speaking of effects, it comes with a plethora of effects ranging from reverbs to filters, phasers, chorus, flanger, echos, reverse pitch and more. If that is not enough, a "Jam" page allows you to perform on this instrument with several unique interactions with the individual tracks and sounds live, This is not a drum machine but a new kind of electronic instrument that can be used as a drum machine if you want. But it goes way beyond that!

Years of waiting for AUv3… Nothing.
And if it gets released as a new version with a new price tag AFTER all this I’m gonna be livid, no lie.
