There are a bunch of products I wish Apple created \u2013 a projector, an SSD, a drone, a printer (in fact, here\u2019s a list of 10 of them<\/a>), but Dorum Simsek\u2019s tapped into yet another category and product I wish Apple delved into\u2026 electronic music. Designed to be what I can only imagine is Apple\u2019s first (and only) MIDI music-making instrument, the iDrum brings quick ideation and composition to the Apple ecosystem.<\/p>\n

Remember when Apple<\/a> used to put the letter \u2018i\u2019 in front of devices? The last device with the i prefix (believe it or not) was the iPad, which released 15 years ago in 2010. Apple has since, rejected the prefix, opting for more directly named devices, like Watch, TV, and Vision Pro. The iDrum is a relic of that Steve Jobs-ian era, and to be honest, it has the simplicity of something Jobs would unveil. 14 pads, a touch-sensitive surface, and 6 function keys. The iDrum is simple, and evokes the same kind of playful joy that ROLI\u2019s<\/a> products do.<\/p>\n

Designer: Dorum Simsek<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Most conceptual devices created for companies usually follow the design language of said company. Someone mocking up a concept for an iPhone 17 would obviously try to make it fit into Apple\u2019s design DNA \u2013 but the iDrum does something entirely different, it goes for a music-ready design language, balancing minimalism with practicality. The iDrum is an all-black \u2018slab\u2019 with keys, mimicking the black colorway seen on products from AKAI, M-Audio, KORG, etc. It\u2019s simple, intuitive, and works perfectly with Apple\u2019s own music production software, Logic Pro X.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Metal isn\u2019t a very music-friendly material, if you ask me. Buttons need to be mashed repeatedly if you\u2019re composing away, and the standard practice is to make buttons (and by extension product housings) out of some soft material like rubber or a rubberized plastic. To that end, the iDrum has a rubberized design, with rubber buttons that have edge-lighting, and a touch-sensitive tab that lets you play around with effects. The way most drum machines work is by letting you program a sound, loop, effect, or instrument to a pad. The iDrum has 14 such pads, giving you a veritable smorgasbord of audio options. The effects panel further lets you push the boundaries to making music.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Connect the iDrum to your machine, fire up Logic Pro X, and you\u2019re quite literally ready to make music. Although conceptual, I\u2019m assuming assigning audio to keys should be absolutely child\u2019s play, and the iDrum actually lets you create four \u2018scenes\u2019 with different key-bindings. So you could, in theory, shift between techno, dubstep, house, and classic drumpad styles.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Sadly, the iDrum doesn\u2019t exist, and there\u2019s really no plan for Apple to enter this market. However, if it did, the MacBook and iMac would easily become the de-facto music making machine for most electronic artists. I\u2019ve seen deejays like Skrillex and Porter Robinson make entire masterpieces with just a laptop \u2013 imagine what magic they could create with a dedicated MIDI drum machine!<\/p>\n
