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.

Play

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.

    • Reactivity across the entire kit or individual drums

  • Positive Reactivity

    • Reinforce your rhythmic foundation

  • Negative Reactivity
