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.

Sonic Sculptor

Shape the character of your groove with hands-on sound design. Move from dark to bright with a DJ-style Tilt Filter combining elements of legacy 4-pole low-pass and 2-pole high-pass filters; add saturation and texture with Drive and bit reduction, and introduce space and depth with Reverb—all directly from SpaceDrum.

    • Low-pass based on a legacy 4-pole ladder filter

    • High-pass based on a legacy 2-pole filter
