Advanced Urban Rhythm Virtual Instrument

BPM 1.5 from MOTU is a virtual instrument that unites drum machine-style operation with advanced virtual instrument technology to provide a great rhythm programming experience. Combine drum kits, sequenced patterns, sliced loops and instrument sounds to realize your rhythmic vision, mixing and matching any playing style with any drum kit. Or, plug in your pad controller or MIDI keyboard to capture your live, groove-quantized performance directly in BPM.

Browse the software's large 19GB sound library of expertly recorded and mastered 24-bit/96kHz rhythmic material for urban, R n' B, hip hop, techno, electro, house, pop, rock and other music styles. Sample your own drum sounds directly into BPM's drum pads, or simply drag and drop clips from your computer desktop, to add infinite possibilities to your own sound.

BPM 1.5 adds Beat Box Anthology that includes authentic sounds from every classic, iconic drum machine that ever mattered during the 70s, 80s and 90s. You get 80 legendary models (10,000 samples) from the likes of Oberheim, Dynacord, Simmons, Alesis, Korg, Roland, Yamaha, Akai and others.

For further punch, the BPM's Drum Synthesizer allows for combining unlimited sample layers per pad, with programmable layer switching. Now add guitar, bass and other multi-sample instrument sounds from BPM's included library, MachFive or any other MOTU or UVI sample instrument library.
