I would highly recommend enabling click and drag to "paint" notes. As it is right now, if I want 16 closed hats, I have to move, click, 16 times. I'd rather drag to paint based on whatever state of the note I start on.

The mutes on the left would be better if they mute the notes, not the sounds. Muting and then enabling can end up playing the tail of some of the longer sounds. This isn't typically how you want this to work. You can always use the volume control if you really want to get that effect.

It would be nice to get some of the tone controls of the real 808, and the swing is pretty important too..... At some point though, I wonder what your goal is since there are so many apps and web versions of X0X style drum machines these days.

Great suggestions, thanks so much. I definitely want to keep the app simple UI-wise, so it's going to be a challenge!
