Add some edge to your beats with the distortion control based on the legendary DS-1 pedal. Dial in just the right amount of grit and bite.
Build Evolving Rhythms
The 16-step sequencer makes beat creation intuitive yet deep. Switch between 32 patterns in real time to develop dynamic grooves. Chain up to 256 bars together into a complete song structure spanning over eight minutes. The possibilities are practically endless for crafting beats that transition and grow.
