The world’s first generative and audio-reactive rhythm instrument. Designed to keep you in the flow of beatmaking, SpaceDrum turns limitless rhythmic possibilities into an immediate, hands-on experience with no menus between you and your ideas.

Idea Machine
SpaceDrum is designed to get ideas moving without menus getting in the way. Its knob-per-function panel puts a deterministic generative engine directly at your fingertips, letting you establish a rhythmic foundation with Style, explore Patterns per drum, and shape each voice through Intensity, Pitch, and Time Division. Start with an idea, turn a knob, and discover where the rhythm takes you.

Jam Companion
SpaceDrum listens and responds to your performance in real time. Its Audio-Reactive engine follows your frequencies and dynamics, allowing rhythms to reinforce your foundation with Positive Reactivity, fill in the gaps with Negative Reactivity, or respond to specific frequency ranges through Biasing. The result is a rhythm instrument that doesn’t just play alongside you—it reacts to how you play.
