Question 1

Can I import my own MIDI files into AKI Drum Machine?

Accepted Answer

Yes. AKI Drum Machine accepts any standard MIDI file. Just make sure the markers are exactly formatted, like INTRO1, INTRO2, INTRO3, VAR1, VAR2, VAR3, VAR4, FILL1, FILL2, FILL3, FILL4, BREAK, ENDING1, ENDING2, ENDING3. The markers are case-sensitive.

Question 2

Does AKI Drum Machine work with Yamaha or Korg style files?

Accepted Answer

AKI Drum Machine can't directly import .sty files. But if you extract the style as a MIDI file, you can import it without modifying the source file.

Question 3

Can I use AKI Drum Machine for live performances?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! It's built for the stage and delivers rock-solid timing, instant start and stop response, and professional-grade playback designed specifically for gigs.

Question 4

Can each style part have a different meter/signature?

Accepted Answer

Yes, AKI Drum Machine handles multi-meter styles natively — including odd time signatures and meter changes within a single style AND tempos, which most iOS rhythm and drum apps don't do.

Question 5

Can I connect AKI Drum Machine to external MIDI gear?

Accepted Answer

Yes. AKI supports standard Core MIDI connections. You can route it to external synths, sound modules, or USB MIDI controllers. It also works with USB audio interfaces for live audio output.

Question 6

Does the iPhone version have the same functions as the iPad?

Accepted Answer

Both have all of the same functions, except for one difference. On the iPhone, the FILL buttons have been removed due to space. However, fills are still available by enabling the AUTO-FILL function.
