About this app

Warning: This is not a toy but a seriously fun & programmable Classic 16th note step sequencer/drum machine to capture those ideas when that flash of inspiration hits while away from the studio.

Don't let the name fool you, there is nothing Lil about this! Musicians & Producers will appreciate the clean interface, pattern editing, ability to load multiple .wav files quickly into each channel on one screen, multiple FX options, settings & ease of export into DAWs.

New to drum machines and step sequencing? Check out the friendly, In App Help UI and Quick Start Guide: https://www.teotigraphix.com/help/lil-drum-machine/index.html

The Lil Drum Machine is an engaging way to experiment with rhythms in isolation and export beats to wav, ogg, or mid loops.

14 classic & unique drum kits/percussion banks as well as 168 .wav samples get you started sequencing drum beats and mixing & matching sounds.

To our fellow Producers/Musician friends: We hope you enjoy this app and can appreciate what you can do with it on your little android phone or tablet! The Lil Drum Machine's sole mission is to fill the void when we are outside of our studios and not tweaking on our gear and DAW's. It was not feasible to include "it all" and have "everything" on this platform. Thanks and have fun capturing those beats while you are on the road!

This app is incredible. I bought it to delay my purchase of the analog hardware version and the app is exceeding all expectations. The sounds are Top notch and it has full pro level features. I plan on passing the beats through analog hardware and tape for vibe, but honestly the sounds are already good enough to use on records. I run an independent record label and I expect to be able to use this app to make beats on my phone and import them into my pro studio.

Very Nice!!! Sound quality is superb! Awesome for electronic music (techno, house). It sounds so crisp. Finally an app that recognizes my sample folder and the UI is gorgeous and simple. This is really well done. I have a huge request and you will make my dream come true. A looper so i can incorporate some audio loops wouldn't be too much to ask i hope? I love this app. Hats off to the developer. This is top notch and addictive to use...which is the whole point (to be inviting/tempting to use)

I rarely purchase apps to compliment my DAW workflow, but after trying the demo I had to buy this. The user interface is intuitive and quick to produce a usable drum pattern which I can export as MIDI to use in my DAW of choice. The ability to import samples and add effects is exactly what I was missing. I just didn't know I was missing this in my life. I would love to see a step sequencer added to this, so I can visualize all the patterns at once

Thanks for the feedback. We have something that will have a piano roll in the future.
