Just a quick "biggup" for this lovely bit of freeware.

It's a simple software drum machine, specialising in the
sort of sounds used in decent music (no tom toms! >;-D ):

Learn more/get it.

It's standalone, rather than VST and it's not for
performance (although, I suppose you could beat mathc other
stuff to it when DJing, etc.), but thats part of the appeal
to me. The fact that it's so limited, makes you really focus
on making good loops. Its similarities to the way limited
sequencers of the 303, 606, 909, etc. contributed to music
made using them, as much as the sounds used.

I like rendering the loops off to .wav, then loading them up
into recycle for cutting.

Just because you've got other, more complex drum machines,
don't overlook this, it's a little gem.

Hey I remember this! I used to play around with a copy that
came with computer music mag ages ago, its pretty funky,
especially when you drop your own sounds in.

This sequencer format is still my preferred way of
programming drums.

The Pikey Cubase Diamonds, Step sequenced, live.....

I like the ones that cycle through short patterns like this
because its easy to make variations/fills then save them, if
i use the ones I listed above; I get lazy and begin to copy
+ paste large sections

raz0r - you can export the individual measure, the whole
session, etc. into wave files.

i used this program for a while, it's a lot of fun and a
good introduction to using sequencers.

Not bad :)

Kado:

Yes, Drum machine style sequencers are still my favourites
for making single loops, but the laziness factor you
mentioned does mean I like using floops' one. That's more
for the 707/909 style overview though, rather than for
actual editing.

When I moved house, I didn't have any music gear apart from
the ER-1 for 6 weeks and it improved my drum programming no
end.
