Pascal Douillard or better known as FingerLab released this week major updates for the excellent DM1 and DM2 Drum Machine apps which comes now with more features and more sounds. The sample based drum machine DM1 features now a new instrument mode and some new additional drum and instruments kits as in-app-purchase. Compare to the DM1, the update in DM2 is bigger and more interesting for the workflow.
Per example, the new DM2 updates brings finally full midi learn support and you can save now each sound individually. This brings a far more flexibility to creating own kits. DM1 is currently in a special 60% OFF sale until Monday.

What’s New in DM2 Version v.1.5
DM2 is now fully MIDI mappable. More than 130 parameters can be easily controlled by an external MIDI controller : go to the SONG page. First tap the “MIDI” button to select a MIDI controller as a Note Input source. Then tap the “MIDI LEARN” button. You can now navigate through the pages, select a Map (a blue rectangle) and play any Note or CC message on your external MIDI controller. Close the MIDI MAP screen and off you go. Please note that some Maps (for instance the OSCILLATOR PITCH) can either be in Absolute or in Relative mode. This latter is particularly useful when you are using a MIDI controller with encoders. For that just tap the “RELATIVE” or “ABSOLUTE” button when it appears on a MIDI MAP.
