RD3 is a high quality audio application for Android devices that is easy to use. It combines a 303-style synthesizer and a drum machine with different drum kits. With these machines that defined the sound of early electronic dance music you can create grooves on the go.

On the Mixer screen you start and stop the groovebox, set the tempo and adjust the volume of each instrument. For your performance choose one of four patterns for each instrument and the pattern play mode (solo, loop or random). Add more spice to your bassline sound by playing with the distortion knob.

Bassline is a realtime virtual analog synthesizer modeled after the legendary 303. The upper part hosts the tone control with the highly resonant low pass filter. The multitouch control allows you to alter parameters simultaneously. The lower part shows the 16-step sequencer and includes the 303 typical accent and slide option

Beats is the drum machine page. Each drum kit consists of 6 different drum channels with separate punch control that affects the volume and modulates the envelope of the sound. The beats are programmed with the step sequencer at the bottom. In the menu choose between 8 different drum kits from legendary drum machines: 808, 909, 606, CR-78, Linn, KR55, RZ1, DMX.
