Crash Pad
In an attempt to create a sleeker, cheaper, faster and more harmonious drum app, the folks at Xen Element fabricated Crash Pad.
Some of the features crammed into Crash Pad include real drums with dual triggering, a metronome for recording, a custom kit maker, slide-triggering, zero latency, quantizer, and SmartTrim.
SmartTrim removes any excess space on a drum loop that you unfortunately acquire when your finger can’t quite hit stop fast enough. It makes for easily loop-able beats that any musician can use as an accompaniment.
Whether or not you have a drum app already, try Crash Pad. Download it today for less than the cost of a soda.
Features
Crash Pad includes a full bank of well designed utilities for your drumming needs. One of the main advantages of Crash Pad is its ability to create seamless loops for accompaniment.
