Soooooo much more flexible and tons more sounds.

Exciting times.

holy shit that looks sweet as

Yep, pretty fun stuff, I like the iDrum interface a lot more. Being stuck with their sounds kind of blows though, as is still not having a really valid way of doing melodies. Oh export options are only 40 second ringtones as of now, though I hear in an update the kits you make on the phone will load in the computer plug in for further work too.

I like the interface a lot better too but I guess there are some things beatmaker does that idrum doesn't, specifically letting you crop the ends of samples on the fly and I didn't notice any kind of swing/groove on the idrum.

The sounds are great though and you can get the club and hip hop editions combined for half of what beatmaker costs. And I thought softsynths were going dirt cheap compared to harware, now it's about spending $10 or $20....well, except for that stupid expensive $150 mixer app.

yeah I don't think they are going to win any points calling both their plug-in and iphone app iDrum. Watching videos you aren't going to know which is which unless you have them both.

Obviously the one controlled by a mouse curser is not the iphone app.

their site doesn't really say if you can export decent quality WAV/AIF files though.

btw, iDrum existed by itself before there was an iPHone version. I'm a little sick of iEverything, but overall iZotope is a kickass plugin company. You can even download their Vinyl plugin for free.

Very impressive, and great to see competition already.

I wonder what will happen first - will Beatmaker improve their interface up to iZotopes level, or will iZotope allow user created kits.

God I love my iphone.

just messed around with this app last night... really fun and addictive. interface is pretty easy to use and i like how you can drag out patterns and slide your finger on the pads for different velocity levels. i absolutely love that you have to SHAKE the phone to delete patterns. sick feature!!

I dunno. I saw some dude playing some sort of Tetris-esque game on the subway last night. Every time he finished a board he'd have to shake his iPhone around to reset the game.

I carry my beloved white 3G around in a diaper. I would never subject it to such uncouth hostilities.

How's the latency? Same as with Beatmaker or improved?

...

I second that pondering..

idrum's latency is pretty bad on my phone - real-time recording is pretty much useless.
