sorted! Awight mate, what you on? Geez I'm on 2 Cally Splits and half a New Yorker, I'm rushin' my nuts off. If that sentence isn't gibberish to you, you will love this app. Seriously, it's a 909 or 808 or 606 and two 303s... with multitouch knob twiddling. What's not to love about it...

Fun Basic but fun. No polyphonic synths and can only use one drum machine at a time (being able to use the 808 & 909 in the same track would be splendid!) but it's smashing for what it is.
