Synthesizers & Sequencers

Synthesizers & Sequencers For Beatmaking

Beats get built in layers, and the workflow repeats: audition a sample, chop it, quantize, add swing. Beatmaking gear stands on velocity-sensitive pads, sampling and chopping tools, step sequencing with swing, per-track sound shaping, and resampling a finished layer. The picks below each deliver on one or more of these fronts.

KORG phase8 Acoustic Synthesizer

Features that fit the use case

Velocity-Sensitive Pads

Ghost notes and dynamics are what stop a programmed drum part sounding flat.

Onboard Sampling and Chop

Chopping a record on the device saves a round trip out to a laptop.

Step Sequencer With Swing

Grid timing feels stiff until swing pushes the offbeats where the groove lives.

Per-Track Sound Shaping

Tuning and filtering each drum separately is most of what makes a kit sit.

Resample to a New Track

Bouncing a layered pattern down frees voices and locks in the sound.
