Add the missing ingredient to your Mac-based home recording studio with iDrum--a fully programmable drum machine. 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 down tempo to bangin' hip-hop to frenetic drum and bass, iDrum has your back (beat). It's 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 GarageBand, Logic, Digital Performer, and other applications that support AudioUnit plug-ins, or you can run it as a standalone application. This means you can use iDrum to create beats from within your favorite music software environment--perfectly synced with your arrangement and always right where you left off when you return to the project. iDrum comes with hundreds of tight drum samples arranged in nearly 200 iDrum files, each with several preset patterns programmed by some of the best beatmeisters working today. But these beats are just the beginning. iDrum also features a wide array of sound-shaping DSP functions, such as filters, amp envelopes, and even crunchy old-school drum machine bit reduction. You can also load any AIFF or WAV sound file up to 2 MB in size as a drum sample. iDrum's sonic palette is limited only by your imagination. iDrum will also export your patterns and songs as AIFF audio, MIDI, or GarageBand-compatible AIFF for further editing. Drum machine neophytes will 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, unwieldy drum sample libraries, get a smooth beat going, and export it into the format you need (all for less money than a replacement pad for your MPC 3000).
