CasioTron Beats: Retro Drums

CasioTron Beats re-creates the rhythm patterns found on the vintage home keyboards of the 70's and 80's. These popular keyboards were analogue and have now become collectors items because of their warm sound.

With MIDI too! You can synchronize your analogue casio-tron drum machine to any USB compliant MIDI device or virtual MIDI port.
This particular version takes the analogue drum sounds from the then Casiotone keyboards more specifically this one form the vintage Casiotone MT-70 which although was more modern than the earlier models, it was still analogue as you will be able to tell from the sound which includes the slight noise and hiss as it ducks (this is a genuine replication).
Remember those bossa-nova and samba beats? Well here they are! Relive the retro sound and those cheesy 80s rhythm beats.

so connect to midi just press the new MIDI options button then detect your device and sync.
You can also trigger from MIDI key

Get low from high expectations

For the price the app , I expected much more . No editable parameters no sequencer nothing cool about this but the look of it.


Give it a try.

It's a fun little app. Sounds good. I think the following things would make it useful: Inter app audio Audiobus Virtual midi clock And more accurate scaling of the tempo knob. Kudos for a unique music app!


Bad rhythm
susanneclant

I like the sentiment and design but the loops of the things sound stilted and off rhythm so what's even the point. Waste of a good idea (and two dollars) unless the rhythm is fixed to something steady (how can anyone listen to the high hats and be like "yes this sounds good")


Can't keep rhythm

Don't waste your money until the dev fixes the rhythm issues.
