An Elektron-style drum machine app for iOS
A data engineer with no Swift or synth experience had Claude Code build a 10-voice iOS drum synth with parameter locks, effects and a song mode in about three days.

The full story
The maker had long wanted an Elektron-style drum synth on iOS but knew no Swift, little about UI design and nothing about building a synth. In about three days of telling Claude Code what they wanted and where the bugs were, they had a working app.
It has a 10-voice drum synth, a 16-step sequencer with polyrhythms (which the maker admits are not quite right), 32 patterns and a song mode, Elektron-style parameter locks, random and Euclidean fills, a 10-track mixer, and delay, reverb, bitcrusher and drive effects. Projects and kits can be saved, and more updates are planned.
