New version improved

I felt cheated after buying the last version... I felt a little better after the new version was updated. It is true that AI, even if it has deep learning, can only be used as an aid, and it cannot be expected that AI can handle all the special rhythms. The last comment was a bit too extreme, and I'm really sorry. However, the current feeling is that the generated rhythm is always different from the one you play, and then when you follow the drum jam, you will be brought into its rhythm by the drum. I don't know whether it is a good thing or a bad thing. In addition, it is recommended to add triplet recognition

Developer reply

Hi, thank you so much for writing back! Yes the features you have mentioned are absolutely great! We will see if we can improve this in later updates!

I'm definitely not a shooter or mop

New artifact, to be improved

The drum machine is very good. It has a real drum sound. You can edit the drum accompaniment by yourself, provide a lot of built-in drum rhythms, drag and drop to make your own accompaniment, play it yourself and it will automatically generate a suitable accompaniment drum sound. It is very intelligent, there are many problems, and the flash back is serious. You can't find the interface operation whether it moves or not. It seems that the metronome has no sound, but it's very pleasant to use it as a drum machine
