I am a big fan of the SessionBand Apps since a long time now. This one is the first one for Drum only, and I hope this is the first of many.... But let's be optimistic (even if it has been released in 2015), this App is called SessionBand Drum 1... 348 Drum loops, 348 Fills and 348 end hits! 348 loops divided into 8 different music genres. Pop 50 x 3 loops | Rock 10 x 3 loops | Funk / RnB 20 x 3 loops | Jazz 9 x 3 loops | Blues / Country 8 x 3 loops | Latin 9 x 3 loops | Reggae 4 x 3 loop | Odd meter 6 x 3 loops And 116 songs (styles) Before I go any further, I must specify something... I've been talking about loops from the beginning, but they're not really loops. Or at least not as we understand it.... Not stereo loops...... Here we have a track for Kick, Snare, HH, Toms and Overheads Okay, I'll start again.... So three loops per song and three Fills. Okay, another little break for those who think that 3 loops and 3 Fills is not enough for a song.... First of all, each loops last 8 beats, and you have the possibility to modify their lengths. From 8 to 1 beat (Note that a loop set to 1 beat can become a final or break hit. All you have to do is select End instead of fill A, B or C. Second, you can apply the style of one song to another.... Let us take a concrete example. For example, I load Queen's Demo Song We will Rock you. The first pattern plays a Kick, Snare and Tom. If I apply Billy Gene's style on it, my first pattern will now play a Kick, a Snare and a HH... Third, I can choose to play any Fill with any loop... Drum A + Fill C, Drum C + Fill B and so on.... And finally: these are not stereo loops! This means that nothing prevents me from recording the separate instruments from a loop (in my favorite DAW) and adding other solo instruments from another loop. It's up to me to decide if I keep the overheads or not... Oh, I forgot.... This is all the more feasible since I can change the Tempo of each loop and that all SessionBand Apps are Audiobus compatible. Alternatively, of course I can build a song from A to Z with the app as in any SessionBand Apps as well as record my automations... Watch the tutorial video.... The Audio quality is as always irreproachable.... Producer - Geoff Gascoyne Credits include: Sting, Georgie Fame, Van Morrison, Bill Bruford, Gloria Estefan, Jamie Cullum... The drummer awesome... Drums - Ralph SalminsCredits include: Van Morrison, Paul McCartney, Elton John, Madonna, James Brown, Robbie Williams, Burt Bacharach, Quincy Jones, Wynton Marsalis, Georgie Fame, Jeff Beck.

It's not my rwview... only the part 1 of my tutorial: the basics: In part 2 I'll go a little further in the app. Advance features, Effect, Automation,... I would also make a video and a tutorial for each modules. What I can say right now: To tell you the truth, I thought I didn't like Gadget 2. I'm not a big fan of "all in one" Apps. Closed Apps and often with a logic of their own. Well, actually, Gadget 2 is not really closed, and I could have even said not at all if we had the opportunity to insert an AUV3 Effect plugins on a channel. That's the only regret I have right now. (But it comes with a lot of built in effects that we will check out during my second tutorial.) So I was saying that Gadget was not really a closed app, and this for the following reasons: 1 Taipei, a MIDI out module (see screenshot below) 2 Zurich, an audio file player and recorder (see screenshot below) 3 Rosario, a guitar effects processor (see screenshot below) 4, Durban in bass effects processor (see screenshot below) 5, Some Korg Apps will also become a module if you own them. iMS 20 | iPolysix | Gadgets from Korg module | iM1 | ArpOdyssei | iWavestation | iMonopoly | iElectribe wave (see screenshot below) 6 Gadget 2 can be controlled via MIDI and a learn function is present for most parameters. 7 Gadget 2 is IAA | Audiobus 3 & Ableton Link compatible. I also said that I didn't really like this type of App because they had a logic of their own... In fact,, now, I can understand why I saw so many people posting videos or projects made with Gadget 2... The handling is fast, I would even say super fast considering all the possibilities offered! Unlimited tracks The ability to play only a part of a pattern. Tempo changes, even accelerations and deceleration, & time signature changes are super fast to make.... Copy and paste a pattern from one section to another.... No, really for the IU, there's nothing to say.... Perfect.... I love it... Not kidding!!!! So much, that I transferred the job I am working on from Auria Pro to Gadget 2!!! At the same time, that will help me to push my "investigation" a little further before posting my review, in the meantime, there is a lite version if you want to try it...

A Drum expander. My first impressions: Wahoo!!!!! The sounds are great. The quality of the Samples, Awesome! (Samples in 24 bit and 44.1 kHz) The lengths of the Samples: Pro! The number of instruments per preset... Top! Up to 3-zone cymbals with choke function are supported! (HH includes) Pedal HH for each preset! Level & FX for each instrument (Check out the App Store description below) Custom Kit. MIDI Write & Learn IAA & Audiobus (no AUv3 😂) An integrated recorder So... If you like natural Drum sound, (only one electronic preset), BarbaXDrums looks awesome! I already know that more sounds will be in the next update. More features too. (I don't know which ones) Now all I have to do is try all this with a Sequencer to do my review. If everything goes well, and I don't see any reason for it to go wrong,,,..
