Even beginners will be able to create something that sounds cool, and more experienced users will be able to put together some amazing beats complete with automation and per-drum settings the likes of which you usually need a full DAW setup for.” - AskAudio “I had thought all my iOS drum box desires were satisfied, but I was wrong. There’s room for another and this is it. Patterning has many unique strengths, and beats any hardware drum machine when it comes to polyrhythms and evolving patterns. It’s as mesmerizing to watch as it is to listen to.” - Sound on Sound

    Easy to Populate Ableton Session View
    If you finish your productions in Ableton Live and like to use Ableton Session View during the songwriting phase, Patterning is an easy and intuitive way to quickly create a beat, then use that beat in Patterning to populate the foundational tracks and clips (including MIDI clips) in Ableton Session View by exporting the Patterning project to a Live Set.

    This is how I think of music
    Especially for drums, the circle makes sense in my brain. I pop out beats and loops so fast in this app, and they have more soul than linear programming. So simple to use, but so much under the hood including; probability, timeline shift, a ton of free kits and ability to dd your own sounds. Can’t wait for AUV3 to come! Show more

    This app is a gem
    I’ve gone through a lot of software, hardware groove boxes and drum machines over many years and this one is so good. Great for subtle variations to spice things up, to full kits in the available sound packs. Show more

    Instantly Hooked
    As a new iPad music creator I didn’t know of this till today. Downloaded it and some very cool kits, made 3 patterns with variations, loaded them easily into a 4 minute song…all by intuition and common sense, no how to vids needed. Exported to AudioShare and sounds fantastic, ready for daw work and flame. Er…uh…fame. All within 2 hours of first download. This app lives up to its promise, glad to be aboard! Show more

    Doesn’t Fit New iPad Mini
    App needs to be updated to fit the new iPad mini. UI is cut off Edit: fixed by dev, thank you

    My #1 for years
    … and about to become my sequencing choice for a hybrid modular setup. One feature request if possible-allow arbitrary editing of midi ‘learned’ control note assignments for pattern changes. Currently (I think) midi learning the note is the only way. This is fine if one wants to set up patterns before a jam, but if eg you wanted to duplicate a pattern to develop it while jamming, you’d have to set up a scenario where the pattern change note could be received. If one was able to just write it in that would give more flexibility: I could duplicate a running pattern, make my edits, then assign a pattern change control note to it by typing it in, then switch to the new pattern when I’m ready to.

    Nearly ANAZING
    The fastest, most intuitive way to create beats but we need AUV3 support

    Nope
    I thought based on reviews this would be a good purchase for me, but now I’d rather have kept my money. Currently trying to organize a simple A-B song pattern and it seems to randomize when it chooses to play the notes I plugged in on Pattern B (and sometimes A). It’s like the app is losing the beat? I’m finding Pattern 2 is a bit confusing. Taking into consideration that I may not be operating some features of the app correctly, I still don’t think it should be this difficult. Pattern 2 is to frustrating and to time consuming for making ideas come to life. I’m a drummer not a programmer… in all fairness this might be a great app for others. It would be nice if there was a way a person could try it out BEFORE coughing up 20 bucks. Show more

    Although a great concept and perfect marriage…
    It seems to have lost something for me… Pattern (the first app) just appealed to me in every way. Simple on the surface and very deep once you explore. I loved the magic of that initial release, and still do. But because I have an iPad Pro I figured I would go ahead and get Pattern 2 because of landscape mode. But felt let down when basically it’s just an iPad version, of the Pattern 1. There were NO new drums or Pattern 2 exclusive drums, so a little let down. Yes there are some extra features, as there is when buying an iPad app, and getting the free iPhone version. If you already have the iPhone version, and you love it, maybe just stick with the free iPhone version. ***I will say I didn’t mind paying the developer for his/her work and hours spent on these apps! It was WELL worth the money! Show more
