Appmuse

I was looking for a sampler where you could slice and also play in keys mode that’s audio unit compatible so i could use it with Qubasis 3. I love the ease of use like being able to drag and drop from files into pads. I found the perfect audio unit for my needs but unfortunately the audio units crash in Qubasis 3. I only get around to opening my second instance of the audio unit, since i like to keep my drums in separate tracks so i can play hi hates & 808s in keys mode. Eventually it just crashes and i have to reload the audio unit, pretty much deleting what I’ve created. I love this feature rich sampler but i mainly need it to work as an audio unit sampler and not a sequencer or a mixer. An ‘all in on DAW” is what i dream of for iPadOS and this audio unit is helping make that a reality! i want to be able to make beats where i record and mix and not export from app to app. definitely worth it.

Will not work with GarageBand. Total $14 rip-off. Thank for nothing, Elliott Garage.

This is a great app , the user interface is awesome ...and so well ergonomically designed you barely have to read a manual. I love the fact that you can chop up longer samples in 4, 8, or 16 slices and adjust the slice markers so you don’t get clicks and pops. I was able to chop up some drum beats and layer individual drum hits on top of the rearranged loops FAST, that bass drum will funk you up Boyee !!! I prefer this app over Beat maker 3 , Korg gadget 2 and iMPC pro 2! EXCELLENT POGRAMMING!!! It would be nice if in the future an option is added to Copy the entire play mix or single patterns to the “iOS general pasteboard” and have an "open with" option too so pastin and using audio in other apps would be easier and quicker.

Screen record and drag/drop to app!!! This app is perfect and the developer is still open to making it even better. Instabuy.

If you make beats and love Sample based drum machines, then this app is for you. ??™️ one of the best devs around. The best just keeps getting bester....?...Hrmmm is that even a word ? All kidding aside. Elliott Garage has one of the best approaches to development I’ve seen in quite some time. EG Pulse will be an essential part of your setup if you are a beat maker who has a sampled based workflow. The app is quickly replacing apps like BeatMaker3 and BeatHawk for me. Keep up the amazing work Elliott Garage! Show more

This app has a ton awesome features perfect for any style of music. With the recent updates this app is now my go to sampler/ drum machine for my music production. Keep up the good work. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️?? Honestly this is a game changer if you’re serious about making music look no further than EG PULSE. You want to chop some samples?, no problem?. You want to pitch some samples?, no problem?. Oh, what’s that, you want to record audio ?from other apps well with the latest update that’s no problem?. What ever you want EG PULSE has it and the development has been the best thing since sliced bread ?? ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Thank you, thank you, thank you. This app is what iOS musicians been waiting for.

Really excited to see this app continue to develop!! I wrote a previous review with a couple of questions regarding features and a possible bug to which the dev personally contacted me in no time! Love iOS music production and with up and coming developers like the one(s) behind EG Pulse it will not be long until our beloved iOS production capabilities start to rival our desktop gear. Pulse is jumping out ahead of the competition as a brand new entry in the drums/beat making ring. Simply loving ElliottGarage’s Pulse intuitive design & the ease of creating my own kits, AUv3, TIME STRECH /loop sync was a feature the dev has already added in an update since the initial release only a couple weeks ago!! The time stretch sync is frankly just an awesome feature in an app of this nature at a fantastic value price point EG has set for now, not to mention a literal metric $h|7-ton of other feature too numerous to list!! The included video tutorials are excellent to jump start your workflow, if you are serious about creating music with iOS then EG Pulse is an essential weapon to have in your best making arsenal! If you are still reading, do yourself a favor, stop now -& buy Elliott Garage’s Pulse now. I have a feeling after this initial sale is over and as the dev continues to implement some of the really awesome upcoming features mentioned in review on Dischord maybe? the price may go up some to reflect the added value?!

Update: Thanks to the new update the samples crackle less at 180 BPM. How ever there is a limit. If I am using about only kit sounds I’m good. I go beyond 4-8 then then crackle happens all over again. One thing that helps is it looks like pulse can be used as a midi controller? If I’m right about that, thenI can just midi connect to a different drum machine that will have the sounds I want but now with a better controller. ___________________________________________________________________ The biggest pro about Pulse is the quantize snap option for the grid mode. If you are looking to cook great beats in a snap by going to the grid and using just using only 1/8 or 1/16 or what ever, it so easy because you are never going to hit a note out side of your snap selection. Such a SIMPLE concept. I wish every beat machine had from Electribe Wave to Patterning to Beatmaker 3. The snap feature is the best thing for live beat makers on iOS. It’s like scale mode for beats. That being said, I’m wondering if Eliot Garage primarily makes beats at 100 bpm or below for their own music projects, because, Pulse, “snap crackles and pops” its samples at 126 bpm and above. It was really hard to listen to. I’m on an iPad Pro 10.5 (which I have put the fastest beats through it) using only the kits and samples that are included with the app. This was quite disappointing because I am working on beats hitting 186-200+ BPM. There are some great sounds here in the soundtrack EDM banks that would be perfect for PsyCore and HardCore but the audio engine of Pulse just can’t handle it. I’m hanging on to the app for about 15 days in hopes for an update that will fix this problem. If not then I’ll have to send it back. It’s a real shame. Great beatmaking interface. Awesome Samples, and a terrific workflow but if it’s clipping Sound of Izraels 505 Techno kit at 136 BPM, what’s the point? Show more

Love it very nicely laid out great job

There are some really good drum machine apps on iOS, but E.G. Pulse is one of the first to go AU, meaning it stays in just the state that it’s in when you save the host project, so coming back to it you can pick up right where you left off. Also meaning that you can use multiple instances. I love the ease of creating kits using drag and drop from the files app! The only additional thing I could really wish for is multiple layer and round-robin sample modes. Also, as with all the E.G. apps, for some reason the volume is always low compared to other apps. Not that it’s that big a deal to turn the master fader up, but it always puzzles me, so I’m mentioning it here. Neither of these is enough to drop a star though, since it should be more than 5 stars already! Show more

Pulse is so feature rich. Every time I get comfy with what I’m doing, I discover more cool features that I missed or just haven’t gotten to yet.

Excellent dev engagement

Title says it all, this fills a huge gap!

I love using your drum app is like having a bunch of drum loops and samples in one shots without taking up hard drive space other than the app size and you won’t lose your loops or sounds for different projects Show more

I pre ordered this because I have all EG’s synths which are awesome. This doesn’t disappoint! It auto downloaded & I was using it all afternoon, never needed guidance because everything is right up front and intuitive. Enjoy this most excellent bit of kit. Everything works great on my 2nd gen iPad pro. Thanks! Show more

I was a little on the fence whether i really needed another drum app since i pretty much own them all already... But i am very glad i got this one as well. Playing with it for about five minutes already confirmed that i made the right move. Such an incredible complete drummachine with great sounding kits, loaded with cool patterns, very user friendly interface, video tutorials and on top of it all fully functional as AUv3. What is here not to like...? Grab this app and you will not regret it. It instantly already became one of my new favorites. Compliments to the developer for doing such an outstanding and very impressive job! Show more

I’m not going to list all the features and capabilities, watch YouTube for those. It does everything you need to make your own fantastic drum tracks. Thanks and congratulations the Elliot Garage on this app! You should check out the other great apps they’ve got. Show more
