The app is amazing

You guys just updated for a play button in performance view, but I was hoping that we would get a pad to hear the sound that you are shaping with the Randomizer without having to create a pattern and have to listen to it the whole time and then go back and forth to the other modes to stop the sequence. ?
One of the first and still one of the best!

Ultra flexible drum synth with incredible randomization features and great effects. Essential.
Crashes!

The app sounds excellent and is a joy to play with, but it crashes every single time I use it - using the latest iPad and the latest version of iOS.
So close to perfect

Seekbeats is pretty much perfect as a synthesis beat creation app... which I believe is the authors original intent. Seekbeats sounds great, is easy and intuitive to use, and creatively inspiring. I've been using this almost solely for beat creation since I downloaded it. The small gripe I have is that while composing I must open another app to play melodic sounds with... which means I must open Audiobus to synch the two apps. Three open apps drains the battery pretty fast and slows down the creative juices. Much faster than if simple melodic sounds could be programmed directly in Seekbeats. This wouldn't be an isissue if Seekbeats didn't sound so good, with depth and presence. Either my ears are failing me, or the delay integration isn't very good. When I adjust parameters related to delay I don't hear a difference. Reverb would be nice as well. In conclusion: for synthesis beat creation, Seekbeats is impressive while remaining accessible and intuitive in all the right ways. That that it does so much, so we'll, leaves me hoping for an expansion of it capabilities to include simple melodic programming and better delay integration. I highly recommend this app.

Great sounds and editing options. You can get some really rich tones and textures. It's a lot easier to program than Waldorf Attack.
It’s just a toy for now

Randomizer take effects on all pattern, seems you cannot have individual randomizer and drum parameter for different patterns. And it doesn’t have a timeline for parameter automation and it cannot export your patterns to audio file so you have to adjust parameters live and record it live through other apps, even worse, you can’t adjust parameters by midi signal, midi signal only trigger patters or drum.

iOS has a nice clutch of drum synths at this point but seek beats is the king. Perfect blend of sonic possibility and ease of use. Plus all that random business.
