Breakage
 Breakage is an
intelligent drum machine designed to make it easy and fun to play
complex, live breakbeat performances.
Breakage is a software drum machine, like FLStudio or
HammerHead. Drum machines are musical instruments for composing drum
beats. A drum beat is drawn in a pattern grid (known as a pattern),
which is made up of channels and steps.
It provides a step-sequencer pattern editor and previewer,
database, sample browser,
neural network, pattern morphs, statistics and probabilistic pattern
generator.
Using techniques from data mining, knowledge representation
and
statistics, Breakage is an ongoing experiment in bringing artificial
intelligence into step sequencing.
Features include:
- Neural network accompanient
- Probabilistic pattern generation
- Fluid morphing between patterns
- Pattern similarity statistics
- Future preview pattern editor
- Traditional grid based step-sequencer / drum machine
- Pitch and swing controls
- Distortion effect
- MIDI sync
- Load & save sessions, patterns, drum kits and nets
- Mouse-over help system
