ordrumbox description
ordrumbox - an easy, free, open source application with which you can create songs by assembling various drum patterns.

In orDrumbox you can create songs by assembling various patterns. It's up to you to determine the number of beats in each pattern (16 or 32 or whatever). Each pattern is composed of tracks (as many as you want). Each track corresponds to one sound.

The tracks/sounds can be pitched and mixed and panoramized, and muted/unmuted with the interface. Polyrhythms capabilities: Add a loop point at the step you want, independently on each orDrumbox track.

Each track is composed of notes (one note by beat). On each note, you can independently control pitch (from -12 to +12 semitones) and volume. Some notes can be loop point or scale notes. The number of sounds is not limited, neither the number of patterns in a song nor the number of tracks in a pattern.

On each track you can use an automatic fill engine powered by artificial intelligence technology. This way you can add melodic scales and semi-random notes to make the orDrumbox compose rhythmic and melodic patterns under your control.

You only have to define some rules and the orDrumbox is going to generate beat variations and melodic lines using used designed scales. Some minor/major scales are pre-defined to help you with this feature
