We don’t normally get caught up in pre-release Internet teaser hype*, but this demo for the new Beep Street Impaktor drum synthesizer is actually pretty damn cool.
Impaktor is a physically modeling drum synth for iOS that is driven by audio input. Based on this demo, it looks like it pairs a flexible synth engine with very responsive and expressive control.
Check out the demo and let us know what you think of Impaktor.
Availability is ‘coming soon’ and pricing is TBA.
* Completely false statement
Been watching and waiting. Immediate purchase for me.
Will this be like the wavedrum thing? Cept, with midi? 🙂
Oh yes! Fantastic stuff. Maybe this will tame my GAS for korg wavedrum 😀
sounds awesome. Hope it will still run on an Ipad 1
Apparently it will, but maybe without one of the effects. That might have changed, but that was the word about a montha go.
I can just see the performance with this one. Puttin my ipad down on the table, tapping a few times, and boom! Instant rythme to my jewharp…. Or whatever:)
Awesome 🙂 Seems like a pretty cool app, I wish they do an android version too 🙂
By the way, I think starting the loop demo with the “keys” instead of the rhythm was not a good idea..
Looks sweet, all drummers love tapping on tables…. Can’t wait to see more….
Might be nice if you spelled their name right…. Beep Street…. Ya know just sayin’.
Keeping us honest, eh? Fixed and thanks for the feedback!
It is absolutely mind blowing! Extremely expressive and the sounds are lovely it kind of reminds me of Collision on Ableton, if this was a vst plugin it would cost 10 times more.
