FEATURES- iDrum  The Software Drum Machine
       iDrum adds the missing ingredient to your Mac-based home recording 
        studio--a fully programmable drum machine. It is just as easy to 
        use as the hardware drum machines of yesteryear, but with all the 
        flexibility of a software-based virtual instrument. iDrum 
        integrates seamlessly with GarageBand, Logic, Digital Performer and 
        other applications that support AudioUnit plug-ins--or you can run 
        it as a standalone application. Create drum patterns in iDrum right 
        alongside your existing tracks, perfectly in time, all the time. Or 
        use iDrum as the backbeat when you are laying down new tracks. Use 
        the hundreds of included pre-programmed patterns and rhythms or 
        roll your own.
       iDrum features an array of sound-shaping DSP functions like filters, 
        amp envelope, and even crunchy old-school drum machine bit-
        reduction. You can load any AIFF or WAV sound file up to 2MB in 
        size as a drum sample, making iDrum s sonic palette limited only by 
        your imagination. iDrum will also export your patterns and songs as 
        AIFF audio, MIDI and GarageBand-compatible AIFF for further 
        editing.
* Get your drum machine on in Mac OS X. 
   iDrum turns any Macintosh computer running Mac OS X 10.2 or later into a 
   slamming beatbox ready to lay down your grooves, your way. From ambient 
   downtempo to bangin' hip hop to frenetic drum and bass, iDrum has got 
   your back (beat). Easy. Fun. Dope. That is how people from professional 
   musicians to our parents (who definitely are not pro musicians) are 
   describing iDrum. And that is great, because we set out to make an easy, 
   fun, dope drum machine.
   Drum machine neophytes will get to experience the same magical 'instant-
   gratification' fun that hooked an entire generation of musicians on the 
   hardware drum machines of yesteryear. Pros will find that there is 
   simply no faster, easier way to access and manage large unwieldly drum 
   sample libraries, get a phat beat going, and get it exported into the 
   format you need. (And for less money than a replacement pad for your MPC 
   3000). 
* Seamless integration with GarageBand and Logic. 
   iDrum runs as both a standalone native OS X application and as a plug-in 
   for Apples GarageBand and Logic applications. This means you can use 
   iDrum to create beats from right within your favorite music software 
   environment, perfectly synced with your arrangement and always right 
   where you left it when you return to your project after your next world 
   tour. 
* Hundreds of samples and kits. Infinite possibilites. 
   iDrum comes with hundreds of tight drum samples arranged in nearly two 
   hundred iDrum files, each with several preset patterns programmed by 
   some of the best beatmeisters working today. But these beats are just 
   the beginning. You can mix and match parts and samples between kits, and 
   even load your own AIFF and WAV drum samples. The possibilities for beat 
   creation are virtually endless. 
* Take it for a spin. 
   We could sit here all day and talk about how great iDrum is, but it is
   one of those things you really have to experience for yourself. Snag the 
   two-week full-featured demo using the download link and find out how 
   deep iDrum really is. 
* Play that Beat. 
   Do not feel like pushing buttons with your mouse? Prefer to bang on 
   things instead? iDrum has you covered. Use Record mode to tap out beats 
   on an attached MIDI keyboard, or even using your computer keyboard. 
* Samples Reloaded. 
   If you ever run through all the drum sounds that come with iDrum (and 
   that would take you a long, long time), you can drag any AIFF or WAV 
   file up to 2MB in size into iDrums channel window. 
* Pattern-alooza. 
   Store up to 99 patterns in a single iDrum file, along with all the drum 
   sounds you used to make your beat. 
* Parts galore. 
   iDrum comes with dozens of part presets--a unique feature that makes it 
   incredibly easy to create amazingly cool beats by simply mixing and 
   matching parts and samples--even if you have never programmed a beat 
   before. You can even add your own parts to iDrums part preset library 
   so they are always accessible.
