This changes everything. I’ve been experimenting with music production on the iPad since the early days of GarageBand on the iPad 1. I’ve tried just about everything that's come out since then, from Korg Gadget to BeatMaker to AUM, and while each has its strengths, every app has invariably left me feeling like it was good “for an app.” Nothing ever truly rivaled the immediacy of a hardware groovebox or the plain versatility of a DAW. And then Drambo 2.0 came out. Like a light turning on for the first time, I realized that why those other apps never really clicked with me was that they were all trying to transplant workflows that were never really the best fit for the iPad. Drambo is different: its workflow fits the iPad like a glove. Neither fully DAW nor groovebox, it’s its own thing, and what it is is an amazingly fluid and inspiring music workstation. As far as I’m concerned, Drambo finally delivers on the promise of iPad music production. It was a long time coming – and I can’t wait to see where it goes from here.

Beware, beware and save with care!. Spent all day learning Drambo and working on my first project. There’s a lot to like here, however my experience took a very unfortunate turn. Here’s some advice: Don’t save your project with a “/“ in the name. I made the mistake of calling mine “Funk A/D” since those were the main chords in the project. (You can probably guess where this is going.) Drambo will not warn you about the invalid name, but will pretend to save your data while actually trashing the whole thing. I made multiple edits to my project, saving after each. Not only does Drambo not sanitize the user inputs, it doesn’t verify the save or implement any error handling afaict. Lost all my work.

This thing is like to much for words. All I can say is GET THIS NOW!!!!

Amazing App! Small issue/ request. Love this app! Incredible workflow, sounds etc! Really nothing like it!!! My only issue, is that when I export audio its exporting at a lower tempo and pitch than my project. Tried with a couple different projects to both Dropbox and AudioShare and they all exported wonky. I know it’s a new app and there’s bound to be some bugs, but please fix!, I would also absolutely love an export stems mode as well as export midi. Overall thanks for an incredibly powerful machine guys! You really nailed this I can work around with no stem export by soloing everything and bouncing one at a time, but stems would be so much easier and less time consuming for the user

Amazing Groovebox/DAW. Drambo is such a fun and powerful groovebox with constant updates. Totally worth for the price. The cmodular approach is quite intuitive and provides a lot of flexibility for experimentation and generative stuff. I would like to see the piano roll snapping to the scale in a future update.

A Steal at any price. Drambo has absolutely revolutionized iOS music making. There is nothing quite like it in all of Hardware and Software ( although you could maybe get close if you had a table with 2 Octatracks, a Digitakt, a Digitone, and a Modular Synth case full of modules) , but that wouldn’t fit in your pocket. I love using Drambo to host other auv3s, but even by itself it is insanely flexible. Not to mention the stream of updates that have continued to improve it and add a myriad of new possibilities. Mr Beepstreet has truly created a modern classic!

Amazing, One glitch found so far, a few suggestions. I really love this app, it can be as simple or complex as you make it. I love sequencing and I also love to have as much control over my sound as possible, this app really nails both. The use of the QWERTY keyboard as a piano roll and midi mappings is by far my favorite feature. I have found a glitch within the Audio Units feature when using the keyboard. When an audio unit plugin window is open, the keyboard stops functioning. This resolves itself once the window has closed, but I would appreciate the ability to tweak parameters while playing the keys on my keyboard. Also, the ability to search the modules is needed. If I forget where a certain module is, its a pain to hunt it down. iPadOS 15 adds a multi-window shortcut to the top of the display (3 little dots), and this gets in the way of the controls at the top of the screen. Theres not way to turn this off so there will need to be a fix made within Drambo. I tried to contact the developer through their website but got a 404 error. I trust that this will be addressed, every other aspect of the program is remarkable!

Missing a lot of stuff. Export audio pitch’s and slows down my recording. No stem export ? flex Sampling needs a lot more work Can we get swing for the sequencer ? Plock is nice but the sequencer is absolute garbage . I’d like to see more with the sequencer and sampling . Midi cc learn? Control external cc? Can we please get multi audio inputs ? Only channels 1 and 2 work right now or some way to change inputs and outputs with our sound card.

Roll up your sleeves!. Even though this app is very very deep, it’s not as difficult as you may think upon first impressions. The manual is good, read it! Compared to other modular systems, I find this one way easier to get on with. The developer is passionate about helping on the AB Forum as well. This app is a never ending ultra creative journey through patch creation, experimenting, and sound design. It shares a lot of ideas with groove boxes that cost astronomically more. Genius! 5 stars all the way up

Best audio workspace. The most fun I have ever had making music. So good that you could buy an iPad just for this. The iPhone version is still okay but needs a full ui rework to be really usable.

Very creative. It’s really creative and fun …a bit like Bitwig for ios..a looping module that sets tempo would be a nice addition💎…but connecting with loopy pro is working nice 👍 🔂

Add a piano roll sequencer PLEASE!. once you can create loops with a piano roll style sequencer, or use this in AUM/Audiobus as a sequencer, where you can create 'clips' or 'loops' with a piano roll style sequencer and then arrange those clips in an arrangement style sequencer, to where you see a marker or line play through the arrangement, and when it comes to each loop or clip it will play through it, then you can double click or open the clips or loops youve made and edit them from the piano roll sequencer, so basically its like a clip launcher, but you can arrange the clips on a timeline and the song will play through the timeline and when it gets to each clip it launches it, so you can arrange the clips on a timeline, and then you can open the clips and rearrrange them with a piano roll style sequencer.... then it will be 5 stars and it will be the greatest music app ever made ever

Simply amazing. Takes only a short while to learn but when you do? Wooooow. Buy it. Now. 😊

This app is unbelievable. I might be more hardware inclined, being a huge Elektron fanboy, but this app is everything I could unreasonably want from a piece of hardware and so much more. Parameter locks, morphing, modular environment that’s easy to get working with. This has been the thing that’s joyfully pulling me back into making music/sounds again. It’s a very inspirational tool and I’m so grateful that this powerful thing is available on both iPad and iPhone. Thank you for making this app BeepStreet! It’s a beautiful piece of work!

Must have for any iOS musician. This is the Swiss Army knife of apps. It’s the legos of music gear. It has saved me thousands of dollars because every time I see new apps or hardware you just start thinking how you can recreate/ improve it using drambo. Thank you for this app!

Whoaaa. Drambo is one of those package, which makes you feel like you’ve been living under a rock... like was I asleep for a few years... so far ahead... suddenly you look back at your other gear and it looks like dinosaurs...

Love it but..... No Ableton link support which to me is a must for any sequencing app! Also there doesn’t seem to be any way to MIDI map any of the controls and it looks like parameters are not exposed to the daw when in auv3 mode or otherwise, another big bummer. Until those two things are fixed I cannot give this more than 3 stars. The synth engine is truly awesome tho.

Seems to be unsupported. No updates in a year and very glitchy. Audio fails when you switch in and out of the app. Sometimes when you mute and unmute. Instrument presets don’t seem to play. Restarting app may get it working but it’s just not useful anymore. I enjoyed it when I first was exploring ios music but it seems like it no longer has support. Pressing app support in App Store takes you to a broken link. I would wait until it has more recent updates.

Wow. The best price to capability audio app ever made.. There is so many things to say about this app, it’s like a Elektron machine mixed with Ableton live mixed with every synth and effect you could ever think of when you combine them all. You can just go on the patchstorage website look for Drambo and download new synths fx and modules, for FREE. Can’t believe I’ve never rated this app before, it’s literally the best value for money audio app ever made imo, and I’ve used Ableton Live, Reaktor and similar things for over 20 years. On iOS, this is THE audio app.

Very Capable. Drambo is stupidly powerful. I come from a hardware... 8 track dynamic performance sampler(if you know, you know). This app is almost as capable as the hardware in some ways and surpasses in others. Even in its early stages, Drambo shows so much value. My biggest issue is the UI. It isn’t the prettiest or the most ergonomic but that’s expected, it’s a very young app. But I wholeheartedly recommend learning this thing now. As long as development continues, Drambo is here to stay.

Great tool but why add’l purchases.... Drambo is absolutely amazing. It is hands-down the most complete, functional, feature-packed app I’ve ever used. The possibilities are seemingly infinite! I do find it a little ridiculous that, after spending $20, you then have to pay even more to unlock additional features. 20yrs ago, this would have cost thousands & its size would have taken up half a room. To have something like this now that costs just $20 & fits in the palm of my hand is absolutely incredible. But, when we live in a time in which there are so many apps & so many free options, despite a majority of those apps paling in comparison, people still would mostly settle for free. $20 for an app is almost unheard of, no matter how much value it may produce. When that’s the reality & someone pays $20 for an app, that’s an incredible compliment to the developer. It’s validation. To then tack on additional purchases in the app just seems wrong IMO not saying the devs time isn’t worth anything, but the move reeks of greed.

Just amazing. I have long been a user and lover of Groove Rider GR-16 by Jim Audio. It’s a nearly perfect app in the way that it captures the electribe/Digitakt groovebox workflow and even allows for features those two don’t have. For a long time it reigned supreme in my eyes. Then along comes Drambo, taking the step sequencer groovebox concept to the next level. The synths and oscillators sound incredible and in fact the overall audio output of this thing is super clean and professional. The modular playground is very deep (probably way deeper than I will ever need) and I love that you can effect audio with the modules. For me, the ability to sample, slice and sequence stereo samples is where it’s at. The addition of true elektron style p-locks is very welcome and I am so happy to see a developer bring in the cross-fader idea from the octatrack. O, and it’s auv3 ready, which means anything I make is easy to get into GarageBand and by extension into Logic Pro. Overall, Drambo is many of the best ideas from modern groovebox and modular systems rolled into a very solid and relatively intuitive package. Highly recommend but only if you’re willing to dig into sound design and enjoy working with lots of different tools for generating electronic music. It might put you off if your preference is a ready-to-use in 2 minutes kind of instrument.

Insane. You can really tell how much R&D went into this app.

Incredible and essential. Has everything you need to make complete tracks, experimentations, jams..it does basically everything you could ask for and does it efficiently. I would have paid double and still felt like I was getting a steal.

Ridiculously Powerful. I’m deducting one star because it feels (to me) like the UI can get in its own way some times, especially when I need to do a bit of menu diving. But this is such and endlessly powerful and versatile app that you kind of have to expect to spend some time learning the interface.

Engaging, amazing, comprehensive!. I don’t write too many App Store reviews but I felt like Drambo deserved a few words. This feels like one of those apps where you might you go out and buy an iPad just to have this app. The selection of modules is really good and flexible to build almost anything you could imagine. The UI is intuitive and fast once you learn it, and I found learning it to be really fun. The sequencer is extremely powerful. The fact that it’s both an AUv3 host and plugin makes it very flexible in the way you work with other music apps. This is really an app that lets you try out creative ideas quickly and easily. I haven’t had it too long but it seems like everything you need to develop those ideas into full tracks is in here too. Loving it. Thanks BeepStreet!

Octatrack meets modular ... meets intuitive UI!!!. First impression review (too early to comment on bugs/stability) Drambo is mighty impressive for its modular synth UI alone: no cables, auto patching, fast, touch friendly. It’s like a touchscreen first evolution of Bitwig’s Grid. Then comes the incredibly powerful Elektron style sequencing... The most impressive thing to me is how user friendly the whole thing remains. RTFM to ease the learning curve and for the excellent power tips. But the combination of clear UI + presets, demo songs, and tutorials makes the app surprisingly easy to learn by just playing with it. To be clear: this is a complex, deep app, with a TON to learn. Those seeking instant gratification should probably look elsewhere. If an Elektron style Groovebox with a modular sound engine appeals to you, dive head first!

Already My Favorite App. All right, so maybe some people are going to think it’s too early to throw around the f-word. But honestly, I think this app is on par with Ableton in terms of being the sort of software I’d actually want to use live. It can legit hold its own next to hardware synths. And that sequencer. It’s a real blast. I mean, it’s even fun to use it on iPhone... iPhone! It does something that I’ve wanted for a while but never really expected to get: a reliable composition/performance tool that I can carry with me everywhere but still use in the finished song. I can actually sketch out a song on break or something and then go home and continue to work on that idea. And I won’t just abandon the original patch because I have better options on my desk or computer. So yeah. This app is no joke. This is kinda the most fun I’ve had making music on my phone. And of course the iPad version is no slouch.

Fantastic!. Such a fun and enjoyable app to make music with. I feel like drambo gives groove boxes a run for their money. There’s just no limit to what ya can do.

Music app of the decade hands down.. It’s hard to believe how much power is in this little app. If you can manage to get past the learning curve, this app can essentially emulate any bit of hardware you can imagine. Synths, samplers, sequencers, clip launching, and anything you could want is in here. It’s like euro rack meets groove box with the ability to build any architecture and functionality you’d like. The icing on the cake is that it is being actively developed.

Unreal.. I’ve used many a platform and hardware device over the years, but I’ve literally never seen anything like Drambo. This single app can replace an entire studio of equipment and DAWs. Too deep to even begin to explain, yet so straightforward that you can jump right in and start making music. Truly a work of art and the last piece of music gear I’ll ever use.

Cuddle up with your ipad and make some music. Nice snappy interface, good feature set, filter sounds great! nothing better than a new app while the whole world is in lockdown! lots to explore! the on screen kb could do with pitch bend.

Best Groovebox on any platform. I’ve used almost every groovebox on iOS and Drambo is the best of the best. I’ve never been so productive and creative when making Music as i am when I’m using Drambo.

Brilliant. This is the spaceship we have all been waiting for. Turned off quantize, and immediately got down.

Will evolve electronic music. This app is light years ahead of most modern hardware grooveboxes. I’m still going to ask for parameter slides haha

This is it folks. Incredible app. It’s as intuitive as it is consistent. Anything you don’t get right away will be found in the manual. It just makes sense. Of COURSE connections are made automatically, like from an envelope to an oscillator to a filter. Of COURSE it’s all color coded and flows left to right so you don’t even need to guess what’s going into what. Gone are the days of having to connect a VCA to an LFO just to adjust its amount—every CV input you connect automatically gets an attenuator. The tracks themselves are modules, which means even the master track can have all sorts of modular goodness applied to it easily. I’ve only been using it as a drum sequencer (not even half of its potential) and its the best drum sequencer around. Finally, I can play in odd time signatures and have it make sense. None of these weird half-measures (no pun intended) where I can’t even have a decent triplet feel without squinting and scratching my head at the sequencer. I love it. Only had one tiny bug so far that I don’t even remember. The devs have done a fantastic job and I look forward to watching this thing grow.

Awesome, deep, and super powered. I’ve had Drambo a few days now. Watched a bunch of videos, tutorials, etc. Modular Synth, Sequencer, and a lot of amazing knob tweaking abilities with P-Locks & Morph. I got it with FACDrumKit as well, and now I can just punch out drums in 2 seconds before going down the well of Drambo. Main thing with Drambo that would be great (hey Dev! Hey fans!) is some explanations of building & connecting Racks, how to make your own Rack instruments, and that kinda thing. I’ve had Cubasis for awhile, and it was fun until I learned it & started using it & then it wasn’t so fun. AUM is amazing but every time I’m in it, it’s chaos — which is still pretty fun. But this is a whole new level. 5*’s and then some!

Whoa!!!. This makes modular synthesis so much more accessible than other iOS apps I’ve tried, especially since it incorporates an intuitive groove box style workflow. It’s like MiRack and Grooverider got cross mojonated and sprinkled with magic dust!

This app is from the future!!!!. EDIT: What???! Version 1.24 is just nuts! How can I add the 6th star to my rating??? I’m absolutely blown away by this app. I just barely scratched the surface with it and tested maybe 2% of it# power, but can see that it has enormous potential. The app feels like a software at its 10th generation, with years of development and improvements, it is hard to believe that it’s just 4 months old. The concept of this app will be easy to anyone familiar with node workflow. There are many programs like this for desktops, mostly for video post production and 3D such as Davinci Resolve, Nuke, Houdini, etc. except this app makes everything MUCH easier by providing connections between nodes (here called modules) for us. Since the architecture of this app is extremely open and flexible, it seems very likely that the app will grow and evolve. Few things I wish for the future updates would be: ***ability to lock the sequencer steps area of the interface. It is easy to accidentally touch a step and erase it / add it while working on other things within the interface. ***some sort of “tree” or “snapshot” view of all dependencies and connections within the created instrument. I see it as a very simple graph which makes it easy to see everything that is going on.

The most unique and powerful daw on iOS. Drambo is something like Ableton mixed with Reaktor. Its provides so much in such a simple and slick workflow. I keep discovering new features and I feel like I will never hit a ceiling. Just about anything you can imagine is somehow possible with this setup. I compose entire songs in here. I’ve tried AUM and Cubasis but Drambo is the only app on IOS that I am CONSISTENTLY coming back to. I spend at least 1 hour noodling around in here every day… It’s so addicting. I recommend this for literally ANYONE. Especially curious types who want to go beyond tweaking presents and really start learning sound design from the ground up. For instance I’ve learned so much about FM drum synthesis in this app. The techniques behind the po 32 tonic for instance always baffled me. Now I’m learning to create noisey hihat sounds out of a bunch of oscillators and an amp envelope. Totally amazing. I’m so happy this app exists. Honestly would pay more if I could. It’s worth more than Cubasis to me. Thanks Beepstreet you are a Don

A Total Game-changer.. There came a day I realized that a $10 app on my friggin’ phone could run circles around my expensive hardware Sampler Sequencer. So I started making music on my phone instead. Over the years I’ve loved many apps, but I consistently find myself going for Caustic above all others. Be it as great sounding as Gadget, or as well made as BM 3, nothing could ever truly be considered a Caustic Killer. It’s just so damned good. I bought Drambo yesterday... Today I buried Caustic.

Sheer awesomeness. This has scratched my itch for an OPZ or Elektron. Granted, physical buttons and knobs are more desirable, but at ten times the price of this app my wallet is thanking me. You can get pretty weird and I’ve only scratched the surface. Looking forward to putting more time into Drambo and hopefully wrapping my head around everything it has to offer. It works perfectly as a sequencer in AUM, once I wrap up a couple projects in other apps that’s where I’m headed next, with Drambo front and center!

The best music production app for iOS/macOS. There are many musical apps for production out there. There are your essentials full DAW like Cubasis or BeatMaker 3 (Auria Pro is abandonware, dont waste your $50). There are your essential utilities like Audiobus. There are semi-DAWs like nanostudio and Gadget or Loopy Pro, which are getting closer to my point. And finally, you have your wide assortment of synths and AUv3 apps. There is nothing quite like Drambo because it amalgamation of all of these things, yet not anything else is like it. Drambo is the single best music production app I have ever used or seen on the Apple platform. The developer is genius for making what is aptly dubbed a modular groovebox. It is something that any and all music producers on iOS or macOS would have to try in order to not miss out on something very special. I am not even a synth producer, but Drambo has completely changed my mind on possibilities on the iPad and general workflow. Combine this with a 25 key midi controller and you literally have endless possibilities. There are many videos to go in depth on what the features are so I can’t compare my review to those. All I can say is this is undoubtedly the single most ambitious, elegant and essential production app for the Apple Music producer. I have to give a tip of the hat to the developer because he single-handedly changed music production with Drambo in a very unique and fresh yet accessible way. Any analog producers waiting to go digital, this is your ticket. Any electronic producers who don’t have this need to waste no more time as this is a bargain for what you get.

Nice groovebox.. This app is brilliant. Nice layout and amazing creative features. This is well thought out and designed. It’s a sampler, synth, drum machine, fx processor, midi processor and more. Only thing this is missing for me is exporting pattern/song stems, and would like to create entirely different sounds on another pattern in the same project. At least dedicated track mutes per pattern will be ok for me. Other then that this is great.

The new update makes an awesome package even better!. I have used drambo for a few years. I really love the ability to be modular and dig deep to design and sequence. The ability to get granular really ups the game! The wavetable oscillators are fantastic. and the control is awesome! One improvement that would be fantastic: IAA workflow inclusion. It’s a shame that I can route my midi through core and bring it into something like cubasis or AUM for editing or hosting, but I am not able to take my standalone session’s audio and bring it in.

Don’t listen to Cameron this app is generous!. Are you kidding me the few bucks it costs for the in app purchase is EXTREMELY worth it!!! Some people have gotten too used to getting amazing tools for basically free. Of all the thousands of dollars I’ve shelled out for audio programs in the past on PC and the iOS ecosystem has some of the best tools in the biz for pocket change! Just the fact that the DLC gives you as many wavetable “modifiers” (as I like to call them) as you want! That alone blows away any wavetable synth I’ve ever seen, and this guy is seriously complaining that a game changing upgrade costs less than lunch. It makes me sick and I’m sorry that the dev has his/her hard work spat upon by people calling them greedy when the only other similar deal on PC I ever saw was for Tuareg2 (I think it was v2, the one with Amber and the FM synth) way, way, back in the day I think it cost 35 bones. And did far less than Drambo. On iPad I paid 50 for Mix Box and I think that was on sale. 30 for that EQ you know which one… heck, this app is such a bargain… I’m still getting to know it and I’m blown away at what it can do. The sequencer is strange the first time you use it but I quickly saw how advantageous it is… I’ve used a fair amount of groove boxes in hardware and software form, the Electribe 2 was amazing sounding but the sequencer was so bad, so this is like a breath of fresh air… and might actually be the perfect groovebox. Worth every penny and I’m eagerly awaiting the DLC where there is more phase modifiers for the wavetable I absolutely love chaining those things up…. Please increase your greed and charge me I’d be happy to hand over double the price of the last pack for even 5 more wave effects they are so fun. Please. Lol ok for real though this is so unique please go for the gold and figure out some more wave effects… maybe some kid of bit randomized type of thing with variable strength and idk maybe bias and block size so it would be kind of like distortion if you pushed it but more like noise if you kept it at a fine grain so to speak. I don’t know if that idea makes sense but sounds cool to me! Thanks for making this incredible, innovative software!!! The noteworthy features are way too many to list I recommend you give it a try if you ever tried a groovebox and liked it. It’s a complete modular sound design sandbox that assumes groovebox form at night! Oh ya it’s also AUv3 so boom now it’s a plug-in too!

Amazing Sound Sculpting Wonderland. This app is simply fantastic. The merging of full modular and groovebox is so well crafted and user friendly, that it’s a breeze to use. If you have any familiarity with modular synthesis - even at a basic level - within an hour you’ll be crafting custom sounds and grooves. If you can think of a sound you want, you can likely build it here. My only wish so far is a little more control over sequencer track playback. I’d love to be able to set a direction, random steps, etc. without using sequencer modules, but that’s such a small issue in the big picture. For those against the price and in-app purchase, if I didn’t have an iPad, I’d probably buy one just for this app. You simply can’t buy a hardware groovebox with this much functionality and ease of use.

Incredible, versatile, holistic, creative musical instrument!. I’ve only explored Drambo for a week or so, but I am blown away at the brilliance of the design and possibilities for musical creativity. It really seems to do EVERYTHING—sound design/modular synthesis, groovebox , in-depth sequencer, DAW/host capability, sampler, effects unit, and on and on...all customizable in endless ways. It’s the kind of app that meets you at your interest and immediately gets you thinking about possibilities you would otherwise not consider. For what this does, the price could be many times higher. Bravo, BeepStreet! I will be spending a LOT of time in this app. Incredibly impressed!

Please update. Please update its been 9 months its starting to get buggy

Incredible. Really enjoying the flexibility and inspiration afforded by this incredible piece of software. Don’t be intimidated by all of the modules and options. You can start simple and learn from there. What I’m most excited about though, is the possibility for further expansion. There’s a solid foundation here so far that will only get better in the future. If the developer keeps adding and improving, I think this will be my go-to sonic playground for many years to come. Can’t recommend this app highly enough!

Incredible.. Don’t hesitate. Just buy. Not only is this one of the most innovative apps of all time. It’s also an amazing sequencer inside AUM/ApeMatrix. The waves extension is worth the price of admission too. Go. Now. You’re worth it.

Incredible beastie. Was hard to find much info on this machine, very few ratings, and not much in the way of solid reviews online. I came across it after someone mentioned it in a Facebook group discussion. Most of the YouTube vids at the moment hide the true capability of this app by using it alongside other apps in AUM, or are more specific tutorials, with very little in the way of general demonstrative reviews. Make no mistake, this is a serious tool. Think of it like an Elektron or OPz but with a better UI. The plain interface makes it easy to see what’s going on, but belies an incredibly deep beast within. Super glad I took a chance on this. similar functionality in the ‘hardware’ (still dsp based) world would set you back at least AU$1000, so the price tag on this thing is a steal. Works fine on my iPhone, but would suggest a recent model to maximise the potential of this app. The elektron style scene morph is awesome, and there seems to be a million different ways to move your groove along. Would have to say it’s one of the best music apps I’ve found this year. Highly recommended.

A musical tool box. I have to say that I have been working with apps since Samplr first came out and Audiobus was just starting out. The Drambo app musical playground has been groundbreaking for me personally. I have had a hard time understanding modular. Sound for More and Ben Richards tutorials have been absolutely essential but I can now begin to feel comfortable with modular and it’s concepts due completely to Drambo. I really have incredible fun just jamming with it. It is natural and now with Auv3 it is absolutely endless in variation. Bravo what an app, what a environment what a musical world to explore. Thank You.

Un incontournable chef d’oeuvre!. Cette application est de loin l’instrument de musique électronique le plus abouti sur iOS. Le développeur a su par un tour de force synthétiser parmi les meilleurs éléments disponibles sur le marché et les réunir en un seul environnement de création sonore. Interface impeccable, intuitive, potentiel sonore infini, qualité impressionnante. Le musicien électronique est choyé! Chapeau au développeur.

Better than I thought it would be. Amazing and powerful

Indispensable : a must have. iOS is a lovely place for music software and plugins, but Drambo is *really* standout. There’s a bit of a learning curve, because of how powerful it is, but it’s worth it. Imagine the Elektron style hardware groove boxes workflow (perhaps friendlier), but each voice is a modular synth, effect for midi processor or something in between. Embrace the madness

Really incredible. Even on the phone it’s super usable. Best most complete groovebox app I’ve seen on mobile. Very powerful. Extremely well thought out interface, designed from the ground up for touch screens. Knowledge of modular music systems and hardware sequencers isn’t required but you’ll have an easier time if you have some. Probably not for people looking for something simple but if you are serious about making electronic music on mobile this is really one of the best things out.

Incredible. Quite enjoying this but I wish there was a redo button next to the undo button. Seems there is room for one.

iOS ultimate groove box masterpiece. This is the game changer I was waiting for. It just made the iPad not just a viable professional music making platform in my eye but an absolute must have. Just for the sampler features coupled with the flawless sequencer it is worth the asked price... For the first time an iPad software instrument truly inspire me like only hardware could do. Beat making in this app is so fluid and natural it is like like they read my mind to make everything I could ask forever. It also work perfectly inside DAWs. I put 10 instances whitout an hiccups so making full finished song with it is a breeze. Stop everything you are making and buy it. This is perfection.

Essential. Best and deepest music app on the App Store. The possibilities are limitless, but still the incredibly well-thought UI makes it super accessible. It even works really well on a phone, both in portrait and landscape mode! It can the only music app you’ll ever need, but it plays so well with others (as it can host AUv3 plugins or itself be used as a plugin inside a DAW) that you can use it in any scenario or configuration. I would pay gold to have a VST Mac/PC version of Drambo. Pure genius.

Wow…. I have never reviewed or commented on anything as quickly as I have for this gem. And yes I said anything, not app, ANYTHING. I know I’ve only touched the surface but just going through the menus and seeing what this is capable of is pretty mind blowing. The fact that something as powerful as this is this accessible is just incredible…. Hats of to the Devs!

Still Amazing but very unstable with latest release. Even more has been added in this latest release yet it feels like when I finally decide to dive into the app, there are many many bugs and glitches abound! I hope they get ironed out soon :(

Wow. Do you want to learn modular or do you just like the modular concept? If so then you need this wonderful app. It is so well thought out and is very solid. Updates come often. There are many excellent how to youtube videos, so anyone can get going creating in no time. I like it a lot and imagine it growing and growing with more and more components. Do you want to have fun and create cool quality sounds and sequences then this app is the way to go. You can use it as standalone but better still in an au host where there is no limit.

A masterpeice. There’s nothing like drambo on any other platform, this is more than an ipad app, it’s a unique sound synthesis device that rivals any modular or hardware synth and lets you create some truly interesting arrangements with total control of most parameters (i’d like it if there were a way to set the ranges params for example more than +-24 semitones on the oscillator or finer grained control like the mini osc). It is also consistently improving and getting new features like the wonderful just-added spectrum/scope. I love drambo.

Yep yep. Bananas

Terrible and unusable on iPhone 12. Impossible to read. Extremely difficult to interact with. Terrible on iPhone 12. Deleted.

Powerful modular. Deep synthesis, excellent sound quality, easy to learn with YouTube tutorials.

incredible. simply the best

Patches won’t open. I bought this app to try some of the patches I’ve seen videos of. 90% of the patches I download from patchstorage.com won’t open. I tried using chrome and safari. I tried moving them to the icloud folder. Nothing works.

Absolutely Worthy of the hype. Absolutely fantastic app!!!

People are weird. This synth is highly capable and deep! I’ve got a lot to dig into here! I spent weeks and weeks learning my first synth (Roland SH-1) back in the day. The more I worked with it, the more I learned its capabilities. This app came out yesterday. Don’t be so lazy! Put some effort into learning it and expect it to take some time to get “good” with it. That’s on you, not on the app. And if you really can’t figure something out, contact the dev. He’ll gladly help you get sorted.

Great for synths too. Most of these reviews all emphasize the groovebox capabilities of Drambo. But its modules have all you need to build classic subtractive or FM synths. I've already done a Juno 106 which matches the original, and a SEM which sounds amazing. Of course, you're not constrained by any existing architecture, so you can have free rein with oscillators, LFOs, envelopes, and modulate (almost) anything. People are posting lots of good patches to patchstorage, and there's a very active forum at beepstreet.com. If you're not sure about buying, download the manual and look it over. You'll see how comprehensive Drambo is.

Endless possibilities. It’s amazing “LEGO like” app in iOS electronic music production

Almost perfect!. Alckemy here, This app is nuts. It’s like a pocket bitwig/phaseplant and if you know synthesis you can pretty much set up anything. I’ve made kicks, snares, neurobasses, etc from scratch; I can’t believe it’s all from my phone! Some highlights of this app are the sheer amount of modules as this is a semi modular environment. Convolution reverb where you can import your own samples, mseg, wavetable synth and warping effects, a frequency splitter! Wavetable lfos! While I wouldn’t necessarily try to write a tune from start to finish, the sound design is easily “professionally” capable. I personally make loops and bounce them- send them to my computer and drop them in bitwig or whatever daw you choose It’s a little tricky getting used to the signal chain as you have to make your own envelopes to tell the oscillators what to do but it’s really intuitive and the videos on YouTube are super helpful to get you going. I’ll be doing some sound design videos on my own channel as well to show how crazy this app is. The only thing that bothers me about the app is I can’t hide the sequencer in vertical mode so it blocks my routing view. It means I have to turn my phone sideways to get to it. Other than that, here’s a small wishlist for future updates Smooth random lfo- the s n h ramp is okay but doesn’t do what I want. Wavetable maker- it’s cool that you can import your own but I don’t think there’s an app on the market that makes wavetables… at least not on iPhone. Ring mod would be dope Parametric eq that can “shift.” This is really important to me for filtering. I don’t need to be able to modulate the nodes, would be cool if I could modulate and shift the entire filter though. Modulator undo- currently undo only works for the sequencer Add a pm/fm wavetable- wave modulator Finally, add a low-cut knob to stereo effects (reverb aside) to chorus, phaser, etc. Hope the devs see this- you’ve made an amazing piece of technology. Hats off to you. 5/5

Super confusion. Can’t find a single useful . Ad the interface is cryptic a it gets with tons of double tap icons. A menu diving nightmare . Ugggh! All these reviews are misleading as all hell . I get the idea but the problem is it doesn’t visually connect to the concept for me at all.another dud! Tons of distortion in the low registers . Key board stopped appearing and was replaced by chromatic pads all on its own . No traditional keyboard is available. And delete and or adding modules doesn’t work as shown in tutorials . It crashes a lot as well . Can I have my money back? Peace Christo😤

Beeping fantastic!. This app is insanely good already, and keeps getting better. Thank you Beep Street! Be sure to check out the tutorial videos on Youtube if you aren't sure what this is or how to use it, there's a great series of them by Ben.

I can’t believe how much stuff is in here. Hey psst kid! You like various kinds of synths and mixing various types of synth voices together such as FM or Wavetable? This has it You like digitakt style sequencing with ability to program per step modulation parameter locks? This has it! Wait you also like modular workflow and using CV for gate, velocity and note data? This… also has it! An ableton style clip launcher that doubles as tracker song mode sequencer??? Yesssir!! An AUv3 host for all your synths, effects or even midi processors??? Its somehow there too Its almost unbelievable how good these distinct elements are and how well they perform together! Due to its unique design it has some learning curve to it but if you had experience with both modular and groovebox sequencing you should be able to pick it up nicely. Drambo also does a lot of heavy lifting for you so its not super obscure (it autoconnects most modules although you are always welcome to change it) The only nitpicks Id have is that the piano roll maybe isnt as good or customizable as it could have been. Although note quantizing modules can take care of it, Id love to maybe see scale locking or a more readable UI for piano roll. It is however… an extra since you can sequence so many things using cv generating modules, lfos, clock generators or the step sequencer. Id love to see multiple source scope for surveying the signals, i think that could help with making the modulation signals easier! As of now you can put as many Oscilloscope as you want next to each other. I love this so much! Please put a tip jar as an IAP like AUM!

Super fun stuff!. Innovative for sure. Loads of fun.

Learning curve. Not the most user friendly. I have a lot of apps but his one is just the worst.

Good, but there are issues. I really want to like this app, but it is absolutely NOT an intuitive app. I have not had as many issues getting the hang of even the most abstract apps on the App Store as I have this one. Having been a producer for nearly 3 decades, the fact that I have had so much trouble with Drambo is mystifying. I will assume it has to do with the app’s general layout, which does not follow anything I personally am familiar with. It does not really function like a DAW, nor does its clip launching function anything like Ableton Live or Apple Logic, etc. I have started to figure out some of the basics, but I am not sure I have the desire, or energy, to stick with it. If an app is this much of a struggle to use, I doubt it will ever land in my daily work flow. I can appreciate how Drambo could be just what other producers are looking for, however, for me, it just falls short. I do not find it easy to use and I find its unintuitive interface is awkward. The developers have been very helpful, a fact I find VERY refreshing, but I am just not finding the app very useful for my method of creating tracks. I do not wish to disparage what is clearly a top shelf app, but rather to simply make it clear to others that it may not function as one would expect. I wished I had watched all the YouTube videos available, as that would have likely helped me make a more well informed decision. So long as one is ready for the learning curve, this could be you new killer app. It just did not happen to be mine.

DRAMBO... nuff said. Seriously one of the best apps for iOS music production. @soundsfunlive IG

Instant Classic!. BeepStreet have done something quite remarkable with Drambo! Brilliant Modular Synth- With over 100 modules to choose from right out the gate Drambo is a modular synthesizer beast. The smart patching allows you to get on with making music quickly without losing your creative flow searching for wiring options. Its kind of like the difference between driving a stick shift and an automatic automobile. But you can make all the connections manually if you choose! Even better is the ability to save all the modules and patching you have set up to create a sound as a single preset to be used in other tracks or other sessions. Brilliant! Drambo also has various sampler modules to go along with its numerous synth modules. It is really its own universe that feels like someone crammed over $25k worth of classic gear into my IPad. I like MiRack and Drambo has a similar sense of almost unlimited potential about it. Moreover, the sound quality of the app is first rate and you will need scuba gear to explore the depths of the sonic tools available. Lastly, AUv3 means that it plays nicely with others. Brilliant sequencer- The sequencer has a lot of the Elektron goodness that many of us without Elektron money crave. Parameter locks per step is just the tip of the iceberg. Having several trigger conditions per step is a sure way to unlock creativity and evolving melodies and beats. It is really hard to overstate how powerful the sequencer is and can become. Conclusion- Drambo would be a 5 star app if it was only a modular synth or only a midi sequencer. BeepStreet have put the two elements together so well that I feel like my IPad is now a hardware Digitakt and Digitone. It is that good. Yes, like other modular systems and Elektron gear, Drambo will take some time to get familiar with all of its features. But it is so well designed you can quickly generate something musical within the first few times you use it. It is both intuitive and a blast to play around with. As any other first release, there are areas for improvement. Definitely would like to see many more modules, additional editing features, etc. However, as is Drambo is a ground breaking kind of software that is already destined to become a classic in my opinion. Kudos to the developers for bringing this gem to IOS!

Fantastic!. Love this. So much great potential.

An Absolute Gem. Great tool. Extremely versatile and constantly updated with additional features and bug fixes. Purchased this on April 2, 2020 and I worried that I wouldn’t be pleased laying down the cash for this. Now, 2 weeks shy of a year and still not one regret. In fact, I just purchased it a second time as a gift for a friend 5 minutes ago.

Long awaited - does not disappoint!. So, so deep, but easy to get something going. Terrific!
