Just a Super App?
Yes, and honestly, it doesn't make me happy. I hesitated for a long time, a Killer App or a Super App. so much there are good things in this App...
And also feel a little guilty because this Drum Machine is free, and for a very small price you will be able to unlock the App in Purchases...
So. I hope that the Developer won't be too upset with me for that and will be able to understand why Ton Drum Machine is only a Super App to me.
Note that it could have been a very good App, a good App or a Zap this App...

Well, I'd rather tell you right now the only reason why Ton Drum Machine is not a Killer App to me.
It's only because it doesn't have a MIDI implementation... And that could have solved my second little problem, which is the lack of a Song mode.
In addition, with the MIDI implementation Ton: Drum Machine will become a real and really cool Sampler...

That's it, that's all.
For the rest it easily deserves the Killer App appellation.
First of all, for its audio quality.
It looks like it swallowed a compressor.
So much dynamic....
The quality of the effects. The Filter: High, Low and BandPass. The delay and the Reverb.... Besides that there's something I really love that I use very often. (You can see it in my videos) is to route one effect to another. Here we have the possibility to route the delay output signal into the Reverb. Input. I love it....
After that, the IU: simplicity.
The fact that you can set up each step independently by locking a parameter allows you to do anythimg you want.
Even to create a melody because of the Tune parameter located in the Sample selection section.

To conclude
I love it.
I really love its dynamic...
I could have rated Ton Drum Machine as a Killer App in the little Drum Machine category, but it will be too bad because with just a little bit more this Drum Machine coulx be easily among the best Drum Machine in the Queen category.
Thanks a lot to this developer!
A Super App!

First row on the top: the step sequencer: Tap to add an event, again to remove it. Hold down: see Lock parameters section. Second row: Select a Pad | Perform to play with Pads and Mute to Mute a Pad | 4 Bars: see below Last row: the 6 Pads
Picture
A Pattern length can be set to 4 Bars max. But the weird but the clever idea here is that only the select track will be copied... It means that you will have to repeat this for all the tracks you like to make a change but not to the others...

Lock paramameters

Picture
Hold down a step, then set up the paramter you like. Only this step will be affected by your changes. To remove a lock parameter, hold down a step then double tap the desired parameter. Lock parameters are displayed in white color. The Snap button enables or disables Snap Mode. When Snap Mode is enabled, parameters a constrained to useful values, such as whole semitones, BPM, etc.

The App Store description

Sculpt samples and sequence them in real time.

Ton brings a classic step sequencer and an advanced audio engine to your iPad, enabling you to create rich and modulated rhythmic sequences.

WORKFLOW

• Build rhythmic sequences using the step-sequencer, or play live using the drum pads
• Add movement to any sequence using PARAMETER LOCKS: any step can be assigned specific parameter values (pitch, saturation, volume…), a feature that can be used creatively to build melodies, add variation and make the overall sound feel more natural and organic
• Store your beats in PATTERNS, and recall them with a single tap immediately, without ever going out of tempo
• Use Ton in various setups, thanks to Audiobus and Ableton Link integration

AUDIO ENGINE

• Mutate samples using the provided parameters
• Each track has its own multimode resonant filter, saturation effect and amplitude envelope
• Glue everything together using the Delay and Reverb master effects

TECH SPECS

• Unlimited parameter locks
• 6 tracks per project
• 1 multimode resonant filter per track
• 1 saturation effect per track
• 1 sequence per track, up to 4 bars long
• Delay and Reverb send effects

    Because I can read everywhere a Policy...

    1. this blog is man by a human for humans
    2. I can make some mistakes (because I am a human)
    3. Nothing will deleted or removed from this blog. For my mistakes or angers, apologies and corrections will be added if needed.
    4. You can see everyday on a banner in the What's hot today post the Apps offered by a developer...
    5. If you participate to the Sunday Contest, you will have to trust in me... But, if you like you can asked me the email list of the readers who participate to a Contest included Time and Date. I will send it to you...
    6. My rating... The first criterion is the App Store description. The last one is my taste and this is totally subjective... Each post come with a tutorial showing you all the knobs, menu, faders,.... Everything that you will be able to find in an App... I hope that this will help to make your own rating.
    7. If I really don't like an App, don't understand it or found too many bugs, I send an email to the developer.... I asked him if the App will be update shortly, I also offer my services as Beta Tester.... Most of the time, I will wait for a future update... Developers are humans too!...
    8. All comments will be publish here. For insults, offenses or very bad mood, the only restriction is that you have to sign with your real name...
    9. I don't know... Peraphs that I will add something later.
