    It’s a stunning app. Sounds ace, is a little CPU intensive on older iPads but worth the juice suck. The 909 is going to be an absolute stonker - the beta is amazing.

    I bought bass 808 when it came out and i love the sound but rarely use it because i cant load it in NS2. Tried to contact them but never got an answer.

    Are you in a position to share any small details of what attributes it might have that help to make it amazing? ..... or is that all under wraps for the time being?
    I didn’t see much in the way of advanced functionality in the screenshot. Is it the sequencer options or the sound that is so good.... or both I’m guessing?

    AudioKit aren’t too secretive about these things. They’ve given me licence to promote and share clips etc.. It’s kind of a weird one to promote. We’re talking about a Classic drum machine that has been emulated a million times so how could this app be so cool? Well, they’ve nailed the sound - we expected that. The beauty of this app lies in the way it is laid out. You work in full screen or split screen - there are a few different screens where adjustments can be made and any of the screens can be at the top or the bottom of the split screen - it all works so intuitively and makes it possible to be creative very quickly and efficiently. The layout is a joy to use and so much thought has gone into it. So a lot of people will go, oh wow, another 909, yawn.... but this app for me sets a new high for iOS drum machine functionality.

    Thanks for that - the layout situation sounds good. I was wondering if it had anything like - fills, flams, randomise, song mode, pattern chain etc?

    It has a pattern chain which you could easily use for a song arrangement. It doesn’t have randomise yet or any pre programmed fills or other midi - flams is a nice idea too. I’ll pass those thoughts on.

    Loads fine for me, maybe a reinstall or reboot might solve the issue?

    It sounds better when you buy it full price.

    Tried that already. When i reinstall it, it sometimes works the first time but next time i open ns it keeps loading

    Sadly, this is very common behaviour when using audiokit apps with NS but I can’t replicate it with this one. What device / OS are you on?

  • ThacaposThacapos

    Ipad 6. gen. Ios 13.7

  • stormywaterzstormywaterz

    The sound engine is way to loud mostly. Make sure you have your volume turn to half or a quarter to match daw volume.

    Ok, the obvious difference is that I’m on 14.01. But I would consider upgrading the OS to fix one plugin a huge gamble.

  • ThacaposThacapos

    I guess i still wait for 14.2. Had the problems with the other ios versions as well, hardly think ios 14 will solve it

  • Jamie_MallenderJamie_Mallender

    they just added some of my presets to the 909 beta. Bonus!

    Nailed it! I’m a massive Star Wars nerd - I just named each kit after a character seen in the cantina. I loved those figures as a kid. Wish I still had them all but, sold them to help fund my 1st guitar.

    You can hear some Bass 808 in this tune

    My opinion:

    1. The AudioKit folks gave their Synth1 and its code free to the world, and many folks, who are not devs, made use of it... TAQsim and now the new EP House Mark1 which incorporated college kids in the effort, as examples
    2. 808 is under five bucks, who cares if it’s limited or not. Let them have a little marketing fun, they’re not in it for the money, obviously.
    3. Unless the naysayers encourage them to call it a day they will offer more interesting and affordable stuff.
    4. Efforts such as this should be encouraged, not discouraged, IMO.

    I bought LE01, 02 and 03.

    Just to support AudioKit, even as i did not really like the idea of Limited Editions.

    But as much as i would have preferred to see those as regular Apps, i even like it less that they are now sold again.

    Yes, for the Apps, for AudioKit and for the customers, this is way better.

    But in summary, we were simply lied at.
    And this i really don't like.

    I did stop buying stuff from AudioKit and did already not get HOUSE.

    Also, i keep reading that AudioKit App prove to be problematic in hosts and simply don't get fixed.

    As much as i liked the developers and his / her / its ideas initially, right now they are out for me.
    There was not even any reasoning or explanation, nothing.
