Pure Acid is a top quality bassline synthesizer and drum machine in one app! Inspired by classic hardware bassline synthesizers and rhythm machines, which changed musical world back in 80's, like the legendary TB-303 synthesizer, TR-808 / 707 / 909 rhythm boxes and their numerous replicas, Pure Acid is designed to bring back the feeling of retro analog gear in every detail in terms of sound, as well as to provide new functions previously unavailable in the original devices to make your music creation workflow fast and fun!

Version 1.5.4
- Fixed: Ableton Link was not working in the network between Ableton Live and Pure Acid on the newest iOS versions;
- AUv3: Midi In Channel settings bug fixed. Previously, audio units always had [Bass: Any, Drums: 10] Midi In channel setting. Now it corresponds to what you set in the standalone's global Midi In Channel settings (Settings menu);
- now you can Paste a bassline (or drums) pattern into a new pattern slot during playback right before jumping to that slot. It is helpful during live playback if you want to create several bassline (or drums) patterns by copying one to another without interrupting the playback. All you have to do is tap the destination pattern slot, and then quickly tap the Paste button right before the cursor jumps to that pattern slot.
