DM1 – The Drum Machine (iPad)


DM1 is an advanced vintage Drum Machine. It turns your iPad into a fun and creative beat making machine.
Easy and fast to use, loaded with 64 superb electronic drum kits and beautiful hyper-realistic graphics, DM1 has been designed for a lot of instant fun.

As electronic musicians ourselves, we, at Fingerlab, have developed DM1 with the intention of delivering the perfect mix between fun playability and powerful sonic capacities. We always keep in mind the importance of a beautiful design with the right balance of powerful abilities while avoiding clumsy, overbusy interfaces.

Check our 64 electronic drum kits. 19 classic vintage drum kits plus 45 in-house produced electronic kits, edited and mastered at Fingerlab professional studio.

DM1 offers 5 main sections:

  1. THE STEP SEQUENCER frees your imagination with a smart use of the multi-touch screen. Just turn on and off steps in your sequence with the tip of your fingers to create cool beats, or unexpected rhythms!
  2. THE DRUM PADS simply lets you play and record the beat that tickles your fingers. No need to be a first-class drummer, automatic quantize does the work for you.
  3. THE MIXER for quick and subtle sound mixing of your drum kits. Featuring settings for volume, pitch, sample length, custom drum kit element for each channel, mute and solo mode.
  4. THE FX TRACKPADS a creative duo of FX trackpads to distort, modulate and transform your beats. The effects include: Overdrive, Delay, Phaser, Texturizer, Robotizer, Filter, Compressor, Reverb, Formant, and Dalek filter.
  5. THE SONG COMPOSER allows you to quickly make a song with the beat patterns you have created. Just drag and drop the patterns onto the timeline. Fast and easy.

  1. I was just about to buy this… but now it’s FREE!! WOOO YEAH!

    Best price EVER! ;)


  2. Still no update. It’s a great drum machine but it really needs AudioCopy or some easy way to get loops/songs out and into other apps.


    1. @Char Looks like they just answered our wishes with version 2 (released yesterday). The update included audiocopy, amongst other things (WIST, MIDI, Automation, Randomizer etc.). Pan is there now too! I’m still not a big fan of the included XY effects (would much rather have individual effect units like D-Pad has.


  3. It has potential but I do get the feeling that it’s been released a little early. There is no method to get stuff out of the app (WAV export, audiocopy, etc …preferably the later!). There is no Pan control in the mixer. You cannot assign the FX to different return tracks (only assign them to the master). It only allows 16-steps. Needs more effects…filter, reverb, flanger etc. Don’t get me wrong I do like DM1, I just feel it’s a little lacking at the moment. What does everyone else think?


  4. This looks great. I’m definately going to buy this one while it’s on sale. I’ll report back later to let you know my thoughts. The main things I’d like to see added (going on the feature list) is AudioCopy, so we can get loops out of this app and straight into another (Studio.HD or NanoStudio for example). This would be much much better than the email and iTunes Sharing export that they have said will be in a future update. It does look like at the moment there is no way to actually export anything, apart from actually recording the output from your iPad that is.
