iDrumming looks as good as it sounds, with shades of charcoal grey for all the pads, and pastel color accents for the three control buttons: Settings, Load Set, and Save Set. Heard through good speakers or headphones, the samples are all of excellent quality with an airy, live sound. Each square pad is labeled in small, modern letters, and multiple items are numbered, e.g., tom 1, tom 2, tom 3. The app is multi-touch capable, allowing several players to gather around an iPad and make music simultaneously.
Feature Highlights:
* 8 pads on iPhone, 12 on iPad
* Very low latency
* More than 200 optional samples to choose from, grouped into 6 categories
* Changeable pitch and volume of every sample (useful for tuning toms, etc.)
* Two different stop sample modes
* Autorepeat at one tap
* Continuous mode for loops or rattle samples
* High quality, 16-bit drum samples
* One predefined, default set included
* Allows users to save their own, custom sets
* Multitouch capability
Touching the Settings button removes the labels on each pad, which are replaced by a large number from 0 - 11. Touching any pad activates a flip transition to display the Sample Properties of the sound assigned to that pad. Controls include: badge, sample volume, sample pitch, assigned sample, BPM tempo for loop, stop mode, and change. Badge is the text label that appears on the pad. Sample volumes is continuously variable from 0 to 100. Sample pitch, invaluable for tuning snares and toms, is continuously variable from 0.1 to 3.0. Beats per minute of the loop can be set to any tempo from 60 to 600 BPM. And stop mode lets users choose from instantaneous, mid-sample stop, or stop when the sample ends. The red change button displays the complete sample library via a slide transition. Users can assign any sample to any pad.
6 Categories of Samples: * Bass - 13 acoustic, 47 electronic
* Snares - 30 acoustic, 11 electronic, 6 rim shots
