DM1 for iPhone Reviews

DM1 is amazing and fun. You can export as .wav or .aac for use in many DAW’s on iPhone or on computer of transferred.
There are so many settings to play around with.
I am surprised how well DM1 is designed. Very easy to use and I am still finding out new things I can do with DM1 . It’s fun to play around with while you explore and navigate through all the menus.
VERY WELL DONE developers. Hope to see more apps like this in the future. Thanks!

DM1 used to work pre-12.2, but now it says it will use an older version which crashes the system. I shouldn’t have to update my phone just to use your app when it worked perfectly fine before. And I’m not jailbroken so it’s not that. I’m on 12.1.4. And before I had to restore my phone to its current firmware, this app ran fine. Now, nothing. And that’s a shame because I paid for all the extras and now I have to pay for it again for my iPad mini 5. iMPC never gave me these problems. But when DM1 worked, I used it 20x more than the Akai app.

My drum teacher turned me on to DM1 and it has been great in helping me maintain my tempo while also helping me build up my speed. LOVE IT!

The only complaint is the BPM is terrible. I really wish they would figure out how I can simply type in the desired BPM and be done with it instead of swiping left or right or using that insidious bar. WOOF!

Also, I wish it had the three toms along with the various cymbals.

DM1 is a great mid level drum machine for song writers! One can go as crazy with time signature changes in a single song as one wishes to (7/4 to 17/8 to 23/16 etc), however I have experienced problems repeatedly with the “song loop” switch not responding. Many times it reads “off” when it is on which could be a disaster live. A five star product (for an iPhone drum machine) aside from this major bug. I am deleting this app and calling it a five dollar loss like sooo many other poorly designed half assed iPhone “would be”useful musical apps.

this app is an excellent app for the price, on both iPad and iPhone. I really love its ability to be so quickly programmable and that it can run in audio background mode so you can jam with another instrument you may have on your phone!

DM1 has such a wide array of sounds and options available, and is a great addition to any musicians collection of music apps. Personally, I find it very useful in creating looping music. Would recommend to anyone.

I LOVE DM1. Have used it for over 10 years!!!!! Now I don’t as much since my workflow is fully auv3 but I really wish I could… please make into an AU :).

This thing is really great for quickly putting together rhythms for demos. HOWEVER, the limited functionality compared to the iPad app really makes this not worth buying. Why remove the option to change the time signature and step count? I don’t only want to write songs in 4/4. Please add these features to the iPhone app.

I will start by saying DM1 is incredibly easy to use, as is the iPad version. I didn’t like that I couldn’t use the additional drum kits I’ve already purchased on the iPad with this version without buying them again.

I’ve had DM1 for a few years. It’s got some fun effects and samples, isn’t too complicated to use and is perfect for my every day needs. Good show!

I’ve been waiting for this, and it’s very promising. Thank you to the developers. I’m hoping for at least 3/4 and 5/4 time signature capability. The addition of a tap tempo would likewise be really helpful. Interaction between open and closed hi-hats would be the icing on the cake. Thanks again.

First off - dug DM1, it’s so much fun. The iPad version looks identical to this iPhone app, but you have to pay $4.99 for it? Why not just install the iPhone version on an iPad?

This is a very fun to use drum sequencer with an nice full sound and great fx options. Very easy to get lots of patterns going.

Yes, I was missing something. Upon further investigation it seems there was, indeed, an "Audio Export" button. So, now I raised the rating from 3 to 4 stars because, 1) yes there are 99 pads but a lot of them are worthless and 2) Unless I'm missing something, once again, it seems you cannot adjust multiple effects. Meaning, when put the tab on "Delay" and put the little circle in the bottom left corner, for example, and then I go on the "Compression" tab and for that effect I want to put the circle in the top right corner, well that not only takes away the "Delay" effect, but when I go back to the "Delay" tab the circle is where I put it on the "Compression" tab, causing me to lose my place. (I learned to screen shot everything once I have it how I like it, but that does not solve the problem).

Exceptional craftsmanship. Don't really use DM1 , but it is definitely worth the money.

Only thing missing is individual track export via AudioShare on a zip file

The developers did not resize DM1 for the iPhone 12. Many of the buttons are off screen with no way to get to them. Typically they check functionality on all platforms before releasing. Fail.

This is an amazing app. More developers should take note.

While not active in the background it killed my battery in 3 hrs.
As a big fan I’m a but disappointed.

It’s fun and easy to use. Very cool that the Korg Volca Beats are now on there, but you’ve got a picture of the Volca Bass!

Great little drum machine
with lotsa features I really enjoyed the different drum machines available
for slection. Only thing I’d add is an Ok button after I make a selection
Great product excellent work guys!
