Sequencer
Sequencer
Samba Drums includes a full sequencer with 7 presets in which you can create your own rhythms.
Adjust the tempo, steps, intensity of each preset individually and play them on loop in your DAW. Take out any instruments that you don’t want to be playing and set if you want the ensemble or solo articulations.
Unlike the majority of sequencers, this one also allows you to define the velocity of each hit, making it very versatile and natural sounding.
