Pattern Sequencers

Software designed primarily for making beats, rhythm tracks and drum loops "from scratch" using MIDI and/or Samples. Most pattern sequencers use some type of grid to define the beats. Each spot in the grid represents the on/off state of an drum or instrument sound at a specific time.
