drmArm 9/12/07 01:26 - email - category: Gear Seth Elalouf of Spacesuitgroup has released a fun and funky rhythm application with extra doses of beat-breaking grit and synthesis mojo. You can create crazy (good crazy!) bleep-laden rhythmic structures using just this application and a hardware controller. And when you're done, you'll find yourself setting up to do it again. And again. drmArm is addictive.
drmArm features: - Five different building blocks for synthetic percussion: shaker, hit (aka snare), tine 1 & 2 (aka bloop and blip) and kick. Each have a graphic volume envelope and various other parameters for shaping the sound. - x0x sequencing grid with MIDI triggerable sequence slots for shifting between various beats on the fly. - An audio-chopping sample player for live rocking of sliced waveforms. - Global effects: delay, filter, pan and a nice beat-breaker for triggering glitches and stuttering repetitions. - MIDI learn for almost everything. drmArm was designed to be tweaked live with a controller. - Beautifully minimal and concise PDF manual. - ReWire, full screen mode, tap tempo and more. I made the Spacerx source loop for Daevlmakr's current 1dot9 sample set using drmArm. I've been playing with it for a couple months now, and just can't stop. Created in Max/MSP then wrapped up as a stand-alone application, drmArm is hands-down one of the best Max built apps I've used. drmArm is a free download at spacesuitgroup.com. If you dig it, grace them with some patronage and/or spread the word so more sweet tools like this one will fall out of the airlock. |
