Tactic by Glitchmachines produces nice, glitchy evolving beats. I usually create a simple beat myself first, and then mess around with the modulation lanes, playing at different speeds and step lengths. But you can randomize everything, if you want to get going quickly.

Thanks, it's been a decade and I don't even remember who the other person in the duo was in my OP. I went solo and have mostly done music with drums/beat but I have microtonic which is nice and I have recently moved to Bitwig which offers interesting stuff. A real drummer unfortunately is not an option.
Windows 11/Linux Manjaro KDE + Waveform 11.

If I decided to play a real drum set in my apartment, the next sound I'd hear would be my eviction notice being hammered to my front door.rpm wrote: ↑Fri Feb 17, 2023 9:11 amThanks, it's been a decade and I don't even remember who the other person in the duo was in my OP.

If you can't dazzle 'em with brilliance, baffle 'em with bullshit.

Another vote from me _ I was searching for similar a while back and Playbeat fitted the bill as well as being the easiest to get my head around. you can do lots of random or controlled random, and import your own samples very easily.pdxindy wrote: ↑Sat Feb 04, 2023 8:05 amThat would be my pick...jules99 wrote: ↑Thu Feb 02, 2023 11:10 pm Audiomodern Playbeat 3 might be worth a look or two. It creates ever-evolving beats.
