BAM — clip matrix with trigger and sampler modules on Track 3
[ 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.

Sequence, arrange, mix and play live —
no submenus, no creative friction.

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.

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.

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.

[ AUDIO ]

Audio and MIDI, in the same clip.

Drop in a loop, layer a melody.
One hybrid clip holds both.

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.
