ElliottGarage has made a lot of good vintage emulations for iOS and here’s another. The EGDR606. EGDR606, is a drum machine that emulates the vintage hardware from the 80’s with the easiness of modern software.
According to EGDR606 it is a realistic and clear emulation and the interface recalls the analog machine from the past. You can play with the groove presets included or you can create your own beat to play along your favourite song via InterApp, Audiobus, Core MIDI and clock MIDI. The app also include sharing of drum patterns with iTunes file sharing or Audio Copy.
Here’s a list of the main features of the app. One thing that’s a little strange is the inclusion of Wist. As far as I’m aware no one is using Wist any more, so it’s strange to see it.
