"Pure Acid is hands down the best 303 and 808 combo on iOS. The filter resonance is incredibly authentic—it really captures that classic 'squelch' I need for my techno tracks. I use it as an AUv3 plugin in my mobile rig and it is rock solid. It has honestly replaced some of my boutique hardware for live performances."

"The perfect groovebox for getting that analog grit on the go. I love the randomization tools; when I am stuck, the Bassline Composer gives me instant inspiration. It is so much more than a toy—the 64-bit engine sounds massive even on a full club system. A must-have for any acid house fan!"
