Welcome
Thank you for purchasing iDrum, the Drum Machine for Mac OS X. iDrum was born out of a
deep love for vintage and modern-day drum machines, and was designed from the ground
up to capture the same feel. The result is an indispensable, easy-to-use tool that is also a lot
of fun to play.
This Getting Started Guide will help you get started quickly and easily. Despite its power, iDrum is
simple to use. We strongly encourage you to read the “Installation” section and the appropriate
“Using iDrum” section for your host application (GarageBand, Logic, Digital Performer, or Pro
Tools) before you use the program for the first time.
Enjoy!
The iDrum Team
Installation
Place the iDrum CD-ROM in your Mac’s CD Drive and double-click on the iDrum installer icon
found on the iDrum CD-ROM.
