Beat Maker & Music Maker

Hybrid clips with MIDI and audio support

Alongside our integrated sampler, BAM offers the capability to import audio loops into its clips, complete with time-stretching and tempo synchronization features. MIDI and audio playback seamlessly complement each other, empowering you to effortlessly layer percussion loops or your own recordings atop melodic MIDI clips, ensuring their playback directions and speeds harmonize seamlessly.

Step-by-step beat making

Step up your rhythm game and make beats in minutes with the BAM - Beat Maker & Music Maker step sequencer. Turn your ideas into drum loops in seconds, with the easy-to-use up to 256 step sequencer interface. Easily visualize multiple tracks with different clip lengths simultaneously, as each track’s playbar indicator moves independently in relation to others.

Make beats, make music, make tracks

BAM is not just a beat maker of course, it’s a beat maker and a music maker. Get musical with BAM's range of built-in synthesis engines, including an amazing oldskool acid bass synth that is sure to take you to a higher state of consciousness. (wink-wink)

Fantastic FX, just a finger tap away
