BAM.
A beat maker and music maker. One complete studio.
Make a beat in minutes. Build a whole track. Anywhere. Step-sequence, sample, sculpt and arrange — from a single drum loop to a finished song — all inside one groovebox, standalone or as a plugin in your DAW.
[ OVERVIEW ]
The short version.
BAM is a complete music production studio in the shape of a groovebox — make a beat in minutes, build a whole track, anywhere.
Sixteen tracks, eleven sound engines and eleven effects, standalone or as a plugin — the same project opens identically on Mac, Windows, iPad and phone. Sketch on the couch, finish in the studio.

01 · What it is
A whole studio in a groovebox.
Sixteen instrument tracks, sends and a master — each with its own effects rack. Everything you need to build a track lives in one window.
02 · What it does
First beat to finished song.
Step-sequence, sample, sculpt and arrange. The clip matrix turns loops into full arrangements, then exports a finished track.
03 · Why it's different
Standalone or inside your DAW.
Run BAM on its own, or as a plugin in any DAW — on desktop and mobile. Start a beat on the train, finish it in the studio.
[ WORKFLOW ]
From step to song, in one window.

01 · Matrix
Clip launcher for live performance.
Hybrid audio/MIDI clips on a 16-track grid. Build scenes, arrange tracks with follow actions, and perform live by launching individual clips. Time-stretched audio loops sit happily next to your MIDI parts.

02 · Modulation
Parameter lock-style automation.
Pick any parameter. Adjust it per step. Done. Step- and clip-based parameter locks plus two modulator slots per track — LFO, envelope and Random Walk — give you hands-on dynamic productions without ever opening a curve editor.

Composers — take note.
A fast, friendly piano roll with the tools you actually reach for. Snap to scales across the keyboard and clips, then generate and mutate melodies and chords when you need a spark. The writing surface is always one tap away.

04 · Mix
Built-in mixer, end to end.
Master, two sends and sixteen instrument tracks. Volume, mute, solo, pan, record-arm — everything in one strip view. BAM is a beat maker that doesn't make you bounce out to mix down.

You can also add expansion packs →[ AUDIO ]
Audio and MIDI, in the same clip.
Time-stretch your loops.
Drop an audio loop into a clip and BAM time-stretches it to your project tempo automatically — in high- or low-quality mode — so it locks to the grid the moment it lands.
Then layer melodic MIDI right on top, in the very same clip. Sampled groove and programmed parts live together, move together, and launch together from the matrix.

Hearing is believing.
A small slice of BAM's infinite possibilities.
Every track in this set was built entirely inside BAM — built-in synths, the factory sample library, and the integrated effects chain. No external plugins, no post-production sweetening.
Best on headphones, or anything that reproduces low end honestly.
