MPC-style pads and step sequencer , swing, and 96 PPQ timing correction
Per-track EQ, SSL-style bus compressor, Ampex-style tape emulation
Sampler with slicing, plus a full-screen DAW-style arrangement view

Works on desktop and mobile (full touch UI)
Beats shareable via a simple link
Shuffle Drummer is available now as a browser-based web app.
