Description

As electronic musicians ourselves, we, at Fingerlab, have developed DM1 with the intention of delivering the perfect mix between fun playability and powerful sonic capacities. We always keep in mind the importance of a beautiful design with the right balance of powerful abilities while avoiding clumsy, overbusy interfaces.
Check our 154 electronic drum kits. 42 classic vintage drum kits plus 112 in-house produced electronic kits, edited and mastered at Fingerlab professional studio.

DM1 offers 5 main sections:
1 - THE STEP SEQUENCER frees your imagination with a smart use of the multi-touch screen. Just turn on and off steps in your sequence with the tip of your fingers to create cool beats, or unexpected rhythms!
2 - THE DRUM PADS simply lets you play and record the beat that tickles your fingers. No need to be a first-class drummer, automatic quantize does the work for you.
3 - THE MIXER for quick and subtle sound mixing of your drum kits. Featuring settings for volume, pitch, sample length, custom drum kit element for each channel, mute and solo mode.
4 - THE FX TRACKPADS a creative duo of FX trackpads to distort, modulate and transform your beats. The effects include: Overdrive, Delay, Reverb, Envelope follower, Phaser, Dub Delay, Formant, Texturizer, Robotizer, Filter, Dalek filter, Compressor and Noise Gate.
5 - THE SONG COMPOSER allows you to quickly make a song with the beat patterns you have created. Just drag and drop the patterns onto the timeline. Fast and easy.

This is reaallllly fun

DM1 is a straightforward and well functioning app. The developers have chosen a specific set of features, implemented them well and made sure they work nicely. The result is a really nice tool to play around with and jam out new ideas. The kits that come with the app by default are nice, and combined with the easy to use interface you can start coming up with some usable, if basic, beats straight away. This may not be the most complex and fully featured drum machine app you’ll ever use, but considering the price it is well worth a look, and I believe amongst the cheapest to allow you to load and edit (trim) your own samples. Well worth a look.

Stunning stunning stunning

I first of all dismissed this app as a bit of a toy, until I started getting a bit deeper into it, and then it slowly dawned on me how incredible this app really is.

This is NO toy. Sounds can be manipulated to the minutia detail. I was first off all about the Patterning drum app, which is certainly powerful and innovative, yet, I still find myself coming back to dm1 every - single - time.

If you want exciting contemporary sounding beats, it’s all here, you just need to delve into it a bit. I can’t believe I had this under my nose for so long. And it’s such an old app as well!

The holy grail would be if there was some way of non painfully routing dm1 into a sophisticated daw like bm3, rather than having to do the whole export thing, which is a bit tedious at times. AU support would be incredible. Dam bm3 with dm1 as an AU would be literally insane. Id pay for that as IAP.

Good job developers!

SIMPLE QUICK BUT DEEP

I freakin love this app. Used it constantly for years now and it still my first stop on the drum train. Super simple, easy & quick to throw a beat together but has some much depth if you wanna get right in and really make your beat unique. If you want a 4 bar basic backer or complex song arrangements this is the one. Gets the balance between instant gratification and deep tweakage just RIGHT!
On/Off quantise switch?
