New App Turns Android Phone Into A Vintage Drum Machine

This is an Android application called Silicon Oxide that simulates an old analog, preset-based drum machine like the Korg Mini Pops 7, used in synth classics from the 1970’s.

No samples used, all instruments are played using software-modeled oscillators, filters and envelope generators.
