Lupine Instruments AP-1

The Acoustic Drum Machine

For the musician who wants to spice up their practice session, or the band that needs an extra hand on the cowbell. The AP-1 can play any percussion instrument using any mallet or drumstick.

Metronome mode

Adjust the tempo for your practice session and dial in the volume to the perfect level. Jam out to our preloaded rhythms or upload your own MIDI files and play back your own custom beats.

MIDI mode

Control the AP-1 via the 5 pin MIDI in port using any MIDI controller or interface. Use the MIDI out port to chain multiple AP-1s together and build a whole percussion orchestra!
