FAQ
Q: How does Real Darbuka capture the authentic sound of instruments like the darbuka, djembe, or riq?
A: The developers recorded each drum in a professional studio using a variety of playing techniques, microphone placements, and acoustic environments. Those samples were then programmed with multi‑touch response and velocity‑sensitive dynamics so that every strike, roll, or slap reacts just like the real instrument would under your fingertips.
Q: Can I play multiple drums at once, or is it limited to a single voice at a time?
A: Yes, the app supports full multitouch. You can tap a tabla with one finger while simultaneously slapping a doumbek with another, and even layer a subtle riq shimmer on top. The engine mixes each channel independently, giving you complete control over balance and panning.
Q: How does the expressive touch response work?
A: When you press harder, the software increases both the volume and the tonal richness of the hit, mimicking the natural physics of a drumhead. Light taps produce softer, more muted tones, while rapid rolls trigger a realistic cascade of successive strikes.
