Unusable on iPad mini – EGDR808 Drum Machine HD Review

Buffer under runs are all I hear. I was able to get things to play normally 1 time since I have purchased the app. The pattern handling is not intuitive and the tempo is very eager to jump to 120 bpm. On a real 808 the tempo is independent of pattern so there is a design flaw here that changes the tempo when the pattern is changed. I know enough about DSP and core audio to know that building a faithful reproduction of a tr808 is a non trivial task, but this software is not production ready. It's a shame too as the UI looks great and I had been really excited by this app. I will hope a later version corrects these issues and makes this a usable app. If so I will gladly post a new review to praise its glory.
