User Reviews for Patterning 2 : Drum Machine

When I load...

...patches from the drum kit library...(or an entire drum kit), they appear to load but once you draw some input on the wheel...and press play, different patches are playing (seems like the default kit). Once I save the project and reopen it, the correct (selected) patches or drum kit are/is loaded. But only after saving the project and then reopening...or just closing down the app and restarting it. I do have to admit I’m running on a beta iPad iOS so it might just get resolved once the latest update from either you or apple will come through.

My #1 for years

… and about to become my sequencing choice for a hybrid modular setup. One feature request if possible-allow arbitrary editing of midi ‘learned’ control note assignments for pattern changes. Currently (I think) midi learning the note is the only way.This is fine if one wants to set up patterns before a jam, but if eg you wanted to duplicate a pattern to develop it while jamming, you’d have to set up a scenario where the pattern change note could be received. If one was able to just write it in that would give more flexibility: I could duplicate a running pattern, make my edits, then assign a pattern change control note to it by typing it in, then switch to the new pattern when I’m ready to.

Worthy update to a 5-star, essential, all-time iOS app

My four stars is based upon this being an update to the classic Patterning, not as a stand-alone app by itself. The new features are great, but it's pretty much a sequel and as such there's no way it could match the magic of the first. Happy to pay for the new stuff, but nothing groundbreaking here like before. Hint: in iOS settings, you can opt to revert to the default colors (instead of this bland new crap) to make the app as fun as it's always been.

Instantly Hooked

As a new iPad music creator I didn’t know of this till today. Downloaded it and some very cool kits, made 3 patterns with variations, loaded them easily into a 4 minute song…all by intuition and common sense, no how to vids needed. Exported to AudioShare and sounds fantastic, ready for daw work and flame. Er…uh…fame.All within 2 hours of first download. This app lives up to its promise, glad to be aboard!

Nope

I thought based on reviews this would be a good purchase for me, but now I’d rather have kept my money. Currently trying to organize a simple A-B song pattern and it seems to randomize when it chooses to play the notes I plugged in on Pattern B (and sometimes A). It’s like the app is losing the beat?I’m finding Pattern 2 is a bit confusing. Taking into consideration that I may not be operating some features of the app correctly, I still don’t think it should be this difficult. Pattern 2 is to frustrating and to time consuming for making ideas come to life. I’m a drummer not a programmer… in all fairness this might be a great app for others. It would be nice if there was a way a person could try it out BEFORE coughing up 20 bucks.

Every Patterning 1 user should get Patterning 2. End of story.

If you’re even mildly interested in iOS Music Production then you’ve heard of or own Patterning, the most innovative drum machine app ever released. It was a tall order, but the developer tweaked the foundation and added some majorly useful additions that make Patterning 2 a must buy. The ability to assign multiple kits and several grooves to a song makes it possible to arrange a track completely inside Patterning 2 and then export that drum part to your DAW of choice. An incredible app...Highly Recommended.

Amazing drum/rhythm machine

Was initially taken back by the interface but figured it out the basics in under an hour. One cool thing: You can change SONGS instantly and seamlessly from the file menu, wherever you are in the measure and at the same count, if this makes sense. This makes it easy to create a live set with different songs without a break ever happening. Also, lots of options to randomize patterns. This sat unused on my iPad for almost a year. Now that I’ve figured it out and see all its potential, it’s seriously my no.1 music making app. Get AudioShare or Dropbox to import your own audio files.

Bravo! This is the best drum machine / sequencer app ever.

I can’t even describe how much I love this clever app. Some other apps are good but rarely do they actually fit the creative music making process. This app is extremely intuitive (perhaps with the exception of the “song” section), flexible and musical. The spinning pattern is a great idea, it makes visualizing and understanding the rhythm so much easier. The user created drum kits sound great and are very diverse. Patterning is one of those apps you hope never goes away. Bravo!Great update with the “pages” feature. At first I was worried that it meant that you can no longer have patterns with more than 16 steps displayed on one circle/page, but the implementation of the “pages” feature is brilliant and allows customization. I thought it was impossible to improve this app but the developer managed to do so.

Phenomenal & beautiful sequencer

This is THE most fun unique sequencer I’ve ever used!?! I’ve experienced a few crashes here n there and rarely a few imported samples randomly go missing upon loading some projects, so I end up just replacing them. Other than that, I appreciate the unfamiliarity and unique ways of programming drums and little melodies. I absolutely love the probability and ratchet randomness that you can get outta this app.. seriously, amazing job dev’s, thank you for your creative tools in which you share for us to collaborate... Immensely grateful...

Although a great concept and perfect marriage…

It seems to have lost something for me… Pattern (the first app) just appealed to me in every way. Simple on the surface and very deep once you explore. I loved the magic of that initial release, and still do. But because I have an iPad Pro I figured I would go ahead and get Pattern 2 because of landscape mode. But felt let down when basically it’s just an iPad version, of the Pattern 1. There were NO new drums or Pattern 2 exclusive drums, so a little let down. Yes there are some extra features, as there is when buying an iPad app, and getting the free iPhone version. If you already have the iPhone version, and you love it, maybe just stick with the free iPhone version. ***I will say I didn’t mind paying the developer for his/her work and hours spent on these apps! It was WELL worth the money!
