01 / Sequencer

Find the pocket.
Keep it moving.

Record live or step by step. Add hardware swing, overdub on the fly, and chain patterns into songs.

Each of the 99 patterns remembers its own levels, pans, and sends.

Six swing settings 50–71%

DMC60 sequencer with kick, snare, hi-hat, and velocity lanes

Independent track lengths.

A 1-bar kick, 2-bar snare, and 3-bar hi-hat. Give each track its own cycle and let the groove evolve.

Kick
Snare
Hi-hat
Three loop lengths over six bars.

02 / Sampling

A break. A folder.
A new starting point.

Bring your own sounds and make them yours. Shape every pad with pitch, envelopes, filters, and drive.

16 pads per bank 8 banks128 sample slots per kit

Chop it four ways.

Slice by transient, divide evenly, place markers, or tap pads live. Your original sample stays intact.

Folders become kits.

Fill and name pads automatically. Build a whole library in one pass, or import your Akai MPC .xpm programs.

Capture something new

Record from your audio interface in standalone. Auto clips turns a live take into bar-length slices across the pads.

character.

    Intuitive worflow

    Coming from years using hardware like the MPC and the SP, the workflow of DMC60 felt very familiar. Minimal menu diving, great flow state.
