Xitive Inc has released Stochastik Drum Machine, a full-featured drum machine app for the iPad with a difference. Stochastik lets you set a *probability* that a note will trigger for each step.
The demo video above, via danmusicstoke, demonstrates this with drum and bass and glitch patterns.
Over a thousand samples are included, from classic analog drum machines to acoustic jazz and rock kits. You can mix and match samples to create the perfect kit for each song. You can also import your own samples through iTunes File Sharing, email or the Dropbox iPad App.
Stochastik plays well with other apps. When you bounce your pattern to a wav file, it’s automatically put in the clipboard for pasting into other apps. With WIST, you can wirelessly sync with other devices. With background audio, you can let Stochastik lay down the beat while you use a synth.
The one key feature that’s missing in action, MIDI support, the developer say is ‘coming soon’.
Stochastik Drum Machine is $4.99 in the App Store. If you try it, let us know what you think of it!
