EXA: The Infinite Instrument
English below !!!
Diese App ist absolut einzigartig und ich kann sie nur empfehlen! Es handelt sich um eine Mischung aus virtuellem Musikinstrument, Loop-Station und virtueller DAW. Der Name “Infinite instrument” passt, da man sich beliebig viele Formen frei platzieren und skallieren kann und diese mit Audio-Samples und Tonhöhen belegen kann. Hierzu können eigene verwendet werden oder es kann bequem ingame auf die Datenbank von EXA ( 1000 samples) zugegriffen werden. Wer Noten lesen kann, kann sich diese auch vor seinem Instrument schweben lassen. So hab ich zum Beispiel das hier gemacht: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VnAuH1DJV-M

I just want to say I love Exa. Great job to everyone who is developing this. I only played with this for a couple days and it is very easy to use and well designed. I will update my review the more I play around with Exa.
-When playing an instrument I hit a button on the controller and the Ringer menu pops up in front of the instrument while I’m playing. I would suggest to keep the Ringer menu outside of the play space so it is still accesible but out of the way.
-I would like a way to assign a sound to a controller button. So when playing the drums I can click a button for the bass drum so that the hand is free to still hit other pads. Also when hitting an open hi hat you pull the trigger while hitting and the same pad turns in to a closed hi hat. Pull the trigger to mute a cymbal crash. Think of using the trigger as a mute like the feeling of touching the strings of the guitar with your hand to mute it.

Paradiddle
This is what other VR drumming apps should have been. I’ve tried a bunch of them and they all left me craving for a better option. This might me the one for me!
It is fully customizable:
- You can add the drums you want in the virtual space, resize them how you want and place them where you want! If you’re an experienced drummer you can recreate your own kit accurately, and if you’re a beginner and don’t know where to start you can use one of the presets or recreate very quickly your favourite drummer’s kit.

I just picked this up a couple days ago. Put in 3.4 hours so far and loving it. I’m a complete novice and while the game does not contain a tutorial itself it is still an amazing learning tool.
I used OVR Drop to bring in a youtube window to a show a beginner drum turorial to play along with - this works great! In a short amount of time I was able to learn a straight rock beat with high-hat, snare and base drum. It felt awesome.
Even though you don’t get the feedback of hitting a real surface, it still feels like you are playing the drums and certainly the timing and spacial aspects would transfer to real life. I’m looking forward to learning more and getting better.

Resynth
sokoban is all about moving crates. music is all about rhythm, I guess. and resynth is all about moving crates, but thankfully not to the rhythm, you can take it as slow as you want, playing it as a regular, mostly stress-free puzzle game, but most of the 72 levels have additional goals besides level completion: move limit and time limit. there’s no numerical indicator for them, just lines getting shorter. ideally, you could switch between this and a more precise one.

Fun, addictive puzzle game with nice twist on the Sokoban game. The game gives rotating blocks that create interesting dimensions on paths that force you to think ahead even more. The music you slowly build up by placing the blocks in their place give a nice progression indicator.
Each puzzle, except the introduction ones can be solved with a time constraint and move count restraint, giving even more replayability to give you the challenge to solve it with less moves or faster.
Then once you completed the first page you realize there is a second page with even more mechanics to explore!

DvDrum, Ultimate Drum Simulator!
I am enjoying the “you-know-what” out of DvDrum! As a former drummer, I can say that, although I haven’t a clue about the technical stuff in this simulator, I am having an absolute BLAST playing along with my favorite songs. The drum sounds awesome and I have adjusted cymbals, toms, bass drum and, yes..even the COWBELL to my liking, haha. Man, I gotta say to all the drummers out there, “Have you ever told your GF, BF, Husband, Wife or your friends that you used to be in a band and they kinda shrugged and just looked at you with hint of, ‘Oh, sure you did’ ?” Well, I can say that transitioning from hands and feet to using your fingers on your keyboard requires practice…the end result is well worth it. Not only are people believers now, but I am just plain having a blast playing the songs from our band’s set list. The sounds are adjustable and this simulator has a whole bunch of options that I really don’t understand, yet. I feel I have only scratched the surface of what can be done with this program. It has MIDI input, btw, but I pound my mechanical kb mercilessly and it is still holding on with no breaks or keys falling off. I have also purchased a cheap membrane-type keyboard and it works fine, as well. I will say that when it comes to playing exactly like a drum set, I have not worked up to keeping time on the hi-hat and cymbals 100% of the time with my fingers…but I see progress with practice. There’s all kinds of programmable stuff for the professional…again, which I don’t “get”. I’ll have to read about that stuff, sometime.

I think a gameplay of DvDrum is good for beginners who don’t know how to play the drums and just playing with the keyboard (like me) or don’t play real drums in real life. DvDrum just a simulation game, not music editor software, you have to play it by keyboard, or drumkit toys. You can build your Drumkit in game, also modify audio, image or photo of backgound Drumkit with little workshop and set up your keyboard input or drumkit toy input for creating your play style. You need some skills like knowledge about drum beats, music tones,… and music theory, or if you don’t have anything, it’s very hard for you, you need to learn how to use it and training everyday hard like me. One more thing, DvDrum isn’t support recording software, so if you want make a video with your drumkit cover some music tracks, you need to find the recording software to record your gameplay
