Waldorf Attack (or equivalent) for iOS?

I know that Waldorf themselves have discontinued the Attack, but it was one of my favourite pieces of kit. I adored the crunchy, skittery beats it could create, akin to Boards of Canda, etc.

So I guess a Waldorf Attack app is out of the question. Anyone got any good drum apps that are similar in functionality and sound to this?

I've got DM-1 and MoDrum, although they're not quite what I'm after.

It's a bit of a stretch stretch but Virsyn Addictive Synth might be something for you.
It's Additive, it has 8 voices, can do percussive stuff and it has a sequencer.
check the last demo video on the virsyn page.

bleep!BOX has the most options in terms of drum synth parameters, so if you want to get down and geeky with synthy drums it is a good bet.

Molten is sample based, but it has so many crazy options you can abuse.

Both are Background Audio and Virtual MIDI compatible.

Molten is a no-brainer anyway! :D
And add. to the samples it also includes a simple but fine synthesis engine.

For Bleep!Box try the Player version if you can get along with interface.
I couldn't.

I'm surprised no one mentioned Korgs iElectribe and iMS-20.

Thanks for the suggestions guys. Downloaded addictive synth as I'd enjoyed VirSyn's VSTs in the past. Will try Bleep!Box and Molten too.

Thebaggy: I've got the KORGs, and they're essential to my setup (esp. iMS-20), but they're not quite what I'm looking for in terms of a straight up drum synthesizer. Plus, the lack of background audio is a total pain.

Tim Webb: Thank you, Bleep!BOX is EXACTLY what I was looking for. Proper synth paramaters, endless tweaking, all the crunchy, skittery sounds of Attack. And runs on both iPad/iPhone. Amazing!

I bought all of the above drum apps, but one that I would LOVE to see ported to the iPad is a faithful port of MicroTonic.

That would just kick butt!

I like Bleepbox and Molten - both are quite cool.

The only drum synth that I can't see mentioned is TweakyBeat. Quite a cool little app (iPhone only though). Supports audio copy too (pasteboard)

Though not quite on topic with the OP, Ralph, the developer of JamStix (VST and RTAS) has mentioned his desire to port his unique drummmer sim over to iOS at some point.

This is the drum app that I am most looking forward to.
