Vibrant Digital Engineering has released a free version of its Diode-108 Drum Machine app for iPad.
Diode-108 allows users direct control over effects hit by hit – not just per track. iOS musicians can now sample Diode free in the iTunes store. The free version is fully usable with no ads and no timeouts, but it lacks save and export and audio sharing options, compared to the full version.
The drum machine is notable for per-beat effects, Note Mode pitched drum and melody-making support, and over 40 licensed drum kits from sample providers Dubsounds, Samples From Mars, Orange Tree Samples, and 99Sounds. It includes 16 instruments. Songs can easily be constructed by dragging and dropping patterns into a song list, and drum sounds can be altered in myriad ways.
Diode-108 Drum Machine Free is available for download from the iTunes App Store.
