![]() One thing I appreciate about the EGDR series is the full tonal flexibility it offers. More experienced users may have no problem, but it's a fair warning to some. While I picked up on it quickly with EGDR808, I struggled with this app. The machine asks you to program pretty much everything using the 16 step keys along the bottom, plus some other combination of "shift" and "instrument" key modifiers. While the app sounds good, the issue is that the TR-909 isn't exactly user-friendly. While many drum apps take vintage 909 sounds and repurpose them with a modern step sequencer, EGDR909 (like its competitor Boom!909) aims to reproduce the same interface you'd get on an actual 909. Like it's sibling EDGR808, EDGR909 offers an "authentic" Roland TR-909 experience on your iPad, for better or worse. Missing about 1/3 of the unit (updated).Yes the 909 supports Link, so that can help tempo. So getting tempo sync is almost impossible. The drums don’t respond to clock or transport commands very well or reliably. Trying to integrate with a larger Audiobus driven system, it’s painful. They’re cheap so at least it’s not a huge wasted investment. Should be called Elliott Garbage, because that’s what they are. I have 3 of the EG drum machines and they’re all the same. ![]() The knobs are too small and fiddly, they are so sensitive it’s hard to get an accurate setting, the UI overall is clumsy and does things when you don’t want it to (like slide out an overlay or enter a different mode). However, the EG apps all suffer from the same problem. Use with Audiobus to send through some effects and EQ and it starts to sound good. – Core MIDI & clock MIDI (network session, external controller, inter app midi)įor the price it sounds decent, not great, but passable. – Song Mode page (swipe to left to open) with loop option – Drumkit pieces parameters control (tuning, decay and snappy) – Manual Play, Pattern Write and Pattern Clear mode – Save the pattern you've created and play your songs – 16 steps sequencer, with variable lenght – Interface like the real drum machine from the 80's You can also share your drum patterns with iTunes filse sharing or Audio Copy. You can play with the groove presets included or you can create your own beat to play along your favorite song via InterApp, Audiobus, Core MIDI and clock MIDI. Its realistic and clear interface recalls the analog machine from the past, for all the vintage fanatics. ElliottGarage presents EGDR909, a drum machine that emulates the vintage hardware from the 80's with all the facilities of modern software.
