Editorial interest 76/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

Bob is a sample-based iPad drum machine with playable pads, step sequencing, and an AUv3 plug-in.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-29 issue.

For: iPad musicians building or performing drum patterns
Worth noticing: Its four bundled kits are described as synthesised in-house, and the guide lists AUv3 support, nine stereo outputs, and recordable MIDI out.

Field notes

The guide breaks the interface into pads, a step inspector, performance controls, and a sound browser, with the pattern bank placed beside the pads. Its named demo-kit pairings include Motor City Techno at 130 BPM and Brick City Jersey club at 140 BPM. The page says the project is made in Ireland by Conor Griffin and that it collects no data or goes online.
