BPM = Virtual Drum Machine?

Post by mjmoody »

So, is BPM something that could be used as a live drum machine? Can you put different rhythms in on the fly? It sounds like you can through the description, but I am wondering what owners of BPM think.

Hi John,

BPM can be used in a live setting. There is a 'Live' mode which allows you to switch between different scenes on the fly. A 'Scene' can include any combination of patterns from banks A-D and any selected sequence parts from racks A-B. You can also drag and drop a MIDI pattern in any pad bank or alter any loaded pattern on the fly using the grid. BPM is pretty flexible when it comes to this.
