FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

Why can't I play more than one instrument at a time?

The Android G1 currently does not support multitouch. However, once Google adds this feature, you will be able to play more than one instrument at a time with Drum Droid.

Once you remove your finger from the screen you can play another note. So, if you want to play fast notes and beats, be sure to move your fingers quickly!

How do I access the Options menu?

Select the MENU button on your phone.

How does recording work?

Once you click the record button, any instruments you play will be recorded to a track. When you are done with your recording, go back to the Options menu and select Save Track, where it saves to your phone. When you want to play your recording, select the Load Track button in the Options menu.

Can I play my recording outside of Drum Droid?

Not at this point in time. The file format it saves to is specific to Drum Droid.

Why do you not have more sounds?

More sound files come at the expense of a application size, thus the decision to use two types of percussion sounds. However, if there is an overwhelming demand for more sound packs, we will release it as an update. So, if you would like us to add more kits -- and if there are specific kits you would like us to add -- you are more than welcome to contact us!
