The extensive groove library captures the nuances of a live drummer, ensuring authentic and personalized drum tracks.
With X Drummer, musicians can easily record their musical ideas and take them anywhere - whether they are at home, on the road or in the studio. The user-friendly drum editor enables users to fine-tune their drum grooves and further customize their songs.
Key Features:
- Instantly create drum tracks: X Drummer's "Play To Find" feature listens and searches for a drum track that complements your guitar riff. The app can use an audio interface or the built-in microphone on your iPad to analyze your riff. You can start quickly by choosing from over 60 pre-made drum tracks or experiment with different drum kits to enhance your existing grooves.
- Explore the extensive collection: X Drummer's Quick Filter functionality allows you to search for specific grooves that suit your needs. You can build your drum track from scratch using any of the 380+ patterns available in the library. The simple controls make it easy to audition individual patterns or entire drum tracks. Adding patterns and drum tracks to the Song Editor is quick and straightforward.
- Personalize your song idea: Utilize Inter-App Audio to incorporate other musical instrument applications or record your guitar riff. The Song Editor enables you to customize drum patterns by changing hit articulations, notations, and leading hand. Five dynamic presets are available to achieve the desired groove. You can then export your song as MIDI or an audio file to various music apps via Open In, email, or Dropbox.
- Build and customize your drum kit: X Drummer offers seven built-in drum sets (Funk, Pop Rock, Cocktail, Country, Metal, Studio, and Vintage) that you can use to create your own unique drum kit. Customize each drum and cymbal to match the requirements of your song. Modifying the drumhead, dampening devices, pitch, and more allows for further personalization. You can also change the appearance of your kit by applying different finishes and adjusting hardware fittings.
