Drum Machine

Boom

Avid

Boom is a virtual drum machine featuring 10 preset drum kits inspired by classic electronic drum machines, paired with a simple 16-step pattern sequencer. Each of the 10 instrument channels can have its volume, pan, pitch, and decay manipulated and automated in real time, with up to 16 patterns saveable per preset. Boom excels at rapid creation and real-time switching of evolving drum patterns through both mouse control and MIDI triggering.
