iPad App – i505 Drum Machine
Demo of the i505 app that emulates the Roland TR-505 drum machine.
A cheap (budget) drum machine. It features 16 drum tones which unfortunately, are only mediocre samples. Its memory contains 48 patterns and 6 songs. Unlike its TR cousins it does not have individual drum tone outputs. There is no drum tone editing capability either. It does however feature extensive MIDI implementation, even the pads will transmit MIDI data. The 505 works well with a computer and sequencer or as a stand alone drum machine. It is extremely basic and unexciting but does make a good starter or play-along drum machine.

Re-creating the Roland TR909 for iPad
nineOnine is intended to emulate not only the sound of the classic TR-909, but also the logic of programming and saving rhythm patterns.”The TR-909 is an awesome analog drum machine! THE standard House and Techno beatbox. Sounds include kick, snare, hand clap, open and closed hi hats, low mid and hi toms, rim shot, ride and crash cymbals. Sounds are tweakable – attack, tone, tuning, decay, snap and accent. This machine does not sound like true acoustic drums, and we don’t want it to. It has a unique and very loveable analog sound that’s all its own!” And now it is here for the iPad:
Features:
- 16 step drum sequencer
- 10 user defined presets
- 9 drum instruments
- 8 drum patterns (4 x 2 banks)
- 4 preset tracks
- Knob zoom for easier handling
- Effects rack (Reverb, Delay, BitCrush and Pan)
- Record and export loops in 16bit/44.1kHz stereo WAV format
However, nineOnine needs some additional features in order to become a no-brainer. MIDI features are missing in action and “Track Play is preset and can not be user defined.”
Developer Mirko Trkulja promises some significant enhancements with the next update, though, including:
- Knob automation
- Wi-Fi MIDI sync
- Full sound synthesis
- Step or Tap pattern write mode
- More patterns and presets
- User defined Track Play

Alesis vs Kraftwerk is an A/B composition showing how you can emulate the Kraftwerk track Boing Boom Tschak using LM-1 Bass Drum pitched down, LinnDrum Snare 23, Linn LM-1 hand clap pitched down and Linn LM-1 tambourine pitch high and normal. I think you can work out the transition points!
