iDrum adds the missing ingredient to your Mac-based home recording
studio—a fully programmable drum machine. It’s just as easy to use as
the hardware drum machines of yesteryear, but with all the flexibility
of a software-based virtual instrument. iDrum integrates seamlessly
with Pro Tools (RTAS), GarageBand, Logic, Digital Performer and other
applications that support AudioUnit plug-ins—or you can run it as a
standalone application. Create drum patterns in iDrum right alongside
your existing tracks, perfectly in time, all the time. Or use iDrum as
the backbeat when you’re laying down new tracks. Use the hundreds of
included pre-programmed patterns and rhythms or roll your own.
iDrum features an array of sound-shaping DSP functions like filters,
amp envelope, and even crunchy old-school drum machine bit-reduction.
You can load any AIFF or WAV sound file up to 2MB in size as a drum
sample, making iDrum’s sonic palette limited only by your imagination.
iDrum will also export your patterns and songs as AIFF audio, MIDI and
GarageBand-compatible AIFF for further editing.

it will time-out fourteen days after you install it. It includes RTAS,
Audio Unit and Standalone versions of iDrum
Get your drum machine on in Mac OS X
iDrum turns any Macintosh computer running Mac OS X 10.2 or later into
a slamming beatbox ready to lay down your grooves, your way. From
ambient downtempo to bangin' hip hop to frenetic drum and bass, iDrum
has got your back (beat).
Easy. Fun. Dope.
That's how people from professional musicians to our parents (who
definitely aren't pro musicians) are describing iDrum. And that's
great, because we set out to make an easy, fun, dope drum machine.
Drum
machine neophytes will get to experience the same magical
'instant-gratification' fun that hooked an entire generation of
musicians on the hardware drum machines of yesteryear. Pros will find
that there's simply no faster, easier way to access and manage large
unwieldly drum sample libraries, get a phat beat going, and get it
exported into the format you need. (And for less money than a
replacement pad for your MPC 3000).
Seamless integration with GarageBand and Logic.
iDrum runs as both a standalone native OS X application and as a
plug-in for Apple's GarageBand and Logic applications. This means you
can use iDrum to create beats from right within your favorite music
software environment, perfectly synced with your arrangement and always
right where you left it when you return to your project after your next
world tour.
Pattern-alooza.
Store up to 99 patterns in a single iDrum file, along with all the drum sounds you used to make your beat.
Hundreds of samples and kits. Infinite possibilites.
iDrum comes with hundreds of tight drum samples arranged in nearly two
hundred iDrum files, each with several preset patterns programmed by
some of the best beatmeisters working today. But these beats are just
the beginning. You can mix and match parts and samples between kits,
and even load your own AIFF and WAV drum samples. The possibilities for
beat creation are virtually endless.
