I can definitely appreciate what the developer has attempted to do with Creation, and I think the concept behind it is a very sound one. 

I would, however, recommend looking at the Pros & Cons section further down in this review because it looks as if the customer support and ongoing maintenance from the developer may be lacking when compared to the constituent tools in this app which are available as individual downloads.

Create Something!

What we’ve got here is a great idea for a music iOS app that enables you to use Bedrum, Destiny, and Digidrummer all from one single interface, giving you access to drum kits, synthesizer sounds, and loads more without having to download a handful of individual apps.

The Digidrummer library contains more than two-dozen different drum kits while Bedrum also provides a further eight drum kits with a 16-step programmable sequencer.

You’ll also be pleased to know that you can import tracks from your iTunes Music Library and play along with them, and you can also record and save all of your jams to share with your friends and band mates at a later date.

Pros & Cons

Pros                                             

• Utilize Bedrum, Destiny, and Digidrummer all from one single interface
• Includes eight drum kits and a 16-step programmable sequencer
• Create amazing synth sounds with 16-bit audio quality
• Choose from eight sound patches including Piano, Dream, Bells, C-Bass, and more
• Utilize the extensive Digidrummer library of more than two-dozen different drum kits
• Import tracks from your iTunes Music Library and play along with them
• Record all of your jams to share with your friends
• Create your own custom drum kits with more than 200 different sound patches to choose from
• Use the Randomize feature to create crazy drum kit styles

Cons

• Although combining three tools in one seems like a great idea, it appears as if Creation – Gig Bundle may not be receiving the same developer attention as its individual constituent apps: “When I bought this app I assumed it would get the same updates the individual packages are getting. Now I have buyers remorse. It's a decent app but nothing amazing. They need to update it and consider making an iPad version.”

Final Words

Creation - Gig Bundle is a great idea for an iPhone app; it isn’t perfect and I would like to see a little more attention from the developer, but apart from this I’d definitely recommend at least giving it some consideration.
