Okay that's all good. I got it. No more need to look elsewhere what I've always wanted to have ...
A drum machine with sounds of real drums! a lot of drum sounds. true Drum sounds ...
Just for that, it's already a Killer App!
39 kits wit an awesome sound quality!

99 samples x 39 kits | 100 x 39 = 3900 - 39 = 3861 Drum Samples !!!


Unreal no?


All the Samples can be re assigned to a specific Drum Pad as well as the Midi control command.


Now let's talk about another Unreal thing...
Drum Session it's a Drum patterns library also!
19 catégories (Rock, Reggae, Jazz...)
All groove come with their variations


To add a pattern to your song simply drag it to the Timeline.
To duplicate it, drag its right side to the right.
Then you will be able to edit it by dragging it to the bottom of the screen.
A new Pattern will be created and added to the Timeline
Added to a new track...
Yes, as you can see on the first image below, the Timeline comes with 2 tracks. One for the Drum Session library (more patterns can be downloaded from the Cloud) and one for us the users.
This is an awesome feature because it allows you to overdub patterns with any risk to destroy them.
You can also edit both patterns (Library & users) with the step editor.


It's not finish...
We have at this moments a Drum Machine full of Drum Samples & a huge Patterns library with a drag and drop GUI.
But we have also the ability to add as many Tempo changes as we like to our song.
The export menu is also awesome because we can export our Session as a Midi or Audiofile (separate tracks or not)


To conclude
One of my quests has ended toda because I found the best Drum Machine (real and natural Drum sounds) available in the App Store.
Drum Session is so great and so easy to use...
It's a Killer App a Must Have for all of us the iOS musicians!
