Sometimes a release like a 2.0.1 might just be a bugfix, but for Elastic Drums this isn’t just correcting things, this has new features in it too. Here’s all that’s new:

• New: Bluetooth high quality audio (A2DP) headphones work now with iOS 10
• New: ED can send User Notifications now: Please allow, if you don’t want to miss any news
• Improvement: After microphone recording, the recorded audio file will get selected automatically
• Bugfix: Program changes were not filtered by Midi port nor Midi channel
• Buxfix: Of “Error” message/crash in Audiobus 2
• Buxfix: Song re-arrangement in pattern screen via drag’n’drop works much better again

One of the great drum synths, Elastic Drums goes up to version 2.0 with a great new batch of features and improvements.

• New Ableton Live Set Export option
• Reworked audio record section with more share possibilities
• Audiobus 3 ready
• Improved design of all preset tables (User, Factory, …)
• Top navigation on iPad shows preset name now
• Debugged sending of Midi notes
• Debugged note/pitch behavior in velocity mode
• Improved velocity note/pitch screen on iPad -> checkout “_demo – chromatic-pitch“
• You can now also send zip files to ED – via Email, etc. So you can import a bunch of samples, when you zip and send them to ED
• New IAP sample kit by DJ Elephant Power

What a great way to celebrate with version 1.9.5 and the app going on sale and being half price! So it’s down to $4.99 today and for the next two weeks.

Here’s what’s new in version 1.9.5:

• New IAP sample kit by App-Sound with 170 useful samples (acoustic & electronic drum sounds, chords, fx)
• You can now reach the store for IAP via presets -> store
• Velocity automation status gets reflected in mixer view
• Show missing sample information in each sample player
• new presets by Another Machines, Dj Elephant Power and others

I’m a big fan of Elastic Drums, and I always have been since it first arrived. So much so that I noticed that the app’s store page has a quote from me on it.

Palm Sounds: “I have to say that I’ve been completely impressed by this iPhone drum machine. In terms of sound, in terms of design, and in terms of functionality. It is amazing.”

I stand by that, and I’d go further too, as Elastic Drums has gone from strength to strength and continued to develop and improve. Even small updates like 1.9.4 are a cause for a little celebration.

So here’s what’s new in the latest version:

• 80 new samples from Berlin musician Phon.o (http://www.phon-o.com)
• Improved knob and automate behavior in song mode
• Bass synth was playing 1 octave too high in old presets with pitch modulation
• When changing the master tempo X in song mode (mix screen), the sequencer could act weird, repeating or even stopping
• Fixed copy seq+instr bug with copying channel data to another pattern
• Reworked XY control – please double check, if effects and jam page still work as they did before

Elastic Drums keeps getting better and better. Here’s what’s in the latest release:

• Midi trigger is working again
• Option to tweak all instr. parameters with the same Midi controller
• improved Midi possibilities (check the Manual)
• demos by Swarm Intelligence
• Audobus Vers. 2.3.2b10
