Vibrant Digital Engineering has released version 1.4.0 of Diode-108, a drum machine app for iPad, adding MIDI sync out and MIDI note out to the already existing MIDI in capabilities.

Diode-108 is the only iPad drum machine on the market with direct control over every effect—HIT BY HIT. The new leader in drum machines is here, with 16 voices (not 9), drag-and-drop per beat effects, note mode to change pitch, and the ability to make and share kits. Revolutionize your groove-making and create sounds you’ve never heard before.

Diode-108 v1.4.0 features

  • Drag and drop effects let you put effects on individual beats.
  • Drum kits licensed from partners Dubsounds, Samples From Mars, Orange Tree Samples, and 99Sounds.
