DRUMBO uses a 16-Step-Sequencer and is meant to be a typical Drum Machine. DRUMBOs sounds production completely relies on digital sound synthesis. Especially frequency modulation (FM) and amplitude modulation (AM) are particularly important. DRUMBO can be used for percussive sounds, but also for tonal and complex experimental sounds while using its sustain, the AM and FM synthesis, the waveshaping and many other effects. The sequencer allows to create four patterns in parallel which can be saved, loaded and modified. DRUMBO offers a large number of sound and pattern presets to begin with. DRUMBO can be controlled by a AKAI LPD8 connected via USB but is also fully functional with mouse and keyboard (the keys y x c v a s d f control the eight pads). All instruments of the loop-ensemble can be connected and synchronized via the network function.
