So I picked up the two boutique drum machines - TR-08 and TR-09 and having more fun than a person should with little hardware drum machines, but it got me exploring iOS drum machines and already had DM1, but picked up DM2, FunkBox, and the collection of 808, 909, 606, and LinnDrum which all program authentically. This is great iOS app fun and they can be either midi controlled, sampled if you want, or just played for fun by themselves.
I really dig the RIDM kit in FunkBox
Wouldn’t mind if Roland did a boutique 606 too. Although they aren’t crazy in price for the original like the original 303’s
I got a boutique TB-03 but it does not sound very authentic in the filter when opened up but BassLine iOS app and Bram Bos’s Troublemaker iOS app sound amazing for 303 sounds. Wish they didn’t get rid of Rebirth for iOS. Only downside to Bram Bos Troublemaker is after 16 steps, next choices are only 24 steps and 32 steps where BassLine app lets you increment by singles past 16. Was programming in bassline for Josh Wink’s song “Are You There?” and it’s actually a 303 running two patterns consecutively. First pattern is 10 steps and next is 8 steps so in BassLine you can just choose 18 steps but Troublemaker doesn’t have that option. Both still great though
So many good apps these days!
