Find the good bits

One sample. A completely different beat.
30-second demonstrationWhat happens in the demo
The original drum sample is followed by a rearranged beat. A chop is selected from the pads and placed into the sequencer, then the finished pattern plays.
inside lq-12 1.0
Make something from the pieces.
Shape each pad
Give every pad its own pitch, volume, pan, reverse and DIRT settings. Pitch one down, reverse another and leave some sounds clean.
Add a little DIRT
lq-12’s signature 12-bit character engine moves from gently worn to gritty digital texture. Use it to change the character of individual sounds.
Make your own rhythm
Build patterns across eight audio tracks, with up to 64 steps per track. Individual steps can override sound parameters, so repeated hits do not have to sound identical.
Resample. Go again.
Turn a pattern or mix into a new sample. Chop that result, rearrange it and keep experimenting. Resampling gives you more material to work with.
Keep the whole idea in view
The redesigned Flow interface brings larger waveforms, clearer pads and more readable sequencing. It is a standalone instrument, not a plug-in: no DAW is required.
