POWERFUL EDITING TOOLS AND EFFECTS

TAKE COMPLETE CONTROL OF YOUR BEATS

Liquid Rhythm gives you unprecedented control over your drum patterns. You can fine-tune your beats with a suite of razor-precise editing tools and powerful MIDI effects.

BEATFORM TUMBLER

The BeatForm Tumbler lets you isolate any region of your beat and turn up the complexity with a simple turn of a knob. Looking to simplify a beat? It’s just as easy. Simply click on the region you would like to change and turn the knob to cycle through an array of note clusters to find the one that best suits the music.

BEATWEAVER

The BeatWeaver is a rhythm design tool. Based on your choices, it generates rhythmic patterns you can play with. It’s made up of three parts: the BeatForm Circuits, the Step Sequencer, and the BeatWeave List. Select a series of BeatForms and drag them into the BeatForm Circuit. From there, the BeatForms are automatically sent through the BeatForm Step Sequencer and into the BeatWeave List—a table that shows every possible combination of your selected BeatForms. Choose your favorite beat from the list and drag it into the Arranger, and you’re done. It’s an intuitive way to get the creative juices flowing again and discover new and unique beats you may have never thought of.

BEATSEEKER

BeatSeeker is the perfect tool for exploring new instruments and navigating the infinite rhythm options in BeatWeaver. BeatSeeker automatically looks at every possible beat and highlights the most commonly occurring patterns for whatever instrument you’re working with. Not sure what to do with the hi-hat? Click on a region in the hi-hat track and BeatSeeker will highlight the most frequently used patterns—the darker the highlight color, the more frequently it’s used. BeatSeeker automatically runs intelligent algorithms to help you find just the right groove.

MAPS

The BarForm and BeatForm maps display every combination of rhythmic patterns possible in a 4/4 bar in organized wheel charts. Whether you’re looking for a simple four-on-the-floor kick drum beat or a complex frenzy of instruments, it’s all on the map wheels—simple beats are organized near the center of the wheel, with the beats becoming more complex as you move out toward the edge. Once you find the beat that best suits the song, simply drag it into the Arranger and keep writing.

GROOVEMOVER

The GrooveMover is a way for you to instantly remix your beat. It’s a MIDI effect that alters the arrangement of the notes in a bar. In the arranger, select the regions of the beat you want to remix and press the GrooveMover arrows up or down. Based on the underlying color patterns, the entire beat will transform into something somewhat closely related to what you originally had. Use it as a songwriting tool to discover variations of your favorite beats.

RANDOMIZER

For all those brainstorming sessions at the beginning of a new project, there’s Randomizer. Quickly dial in what you’re looking for on the BarForm, BeatForm, Collaborate, and Velocity & Groove sliders to point the Randomizer in the right direction: Do you want a simple or complex beat? Should the notes have different accents? Then hit “Surprise Me!” and see what the Randomizer comes up with. As with all Liquid Rhythm tools, playing around with the Randomizer may lead to some unimaginable beats, so have fun with it!

LOOP LIBRARY

Built to accommodate any musician, the Loop Library contains an array of MIDI loops that are organized by genre. From Dubstep to Blues, Motown to Trap and beyond, the Loop Library brings intricate and unique beats to any project. Drag and drop or double click on the beat to load it into the Arranger and start down the path of your new project.

THE END OF PIANO ROLL EDITING

NOW THERE’S A BETTER WAY

Editing drum tracks on a piano roll can be time-consuming, or even tedious, depending on your disposition. Liquid Rhythm lets you create unique, elaborate beats using note patterns and clusters—entire bars at a time. It’s the fastest way to experiment with new sounds and grooves. Assemble rhythm patterns for any instrument four notes at a time. Convert a straight-ahead hi-hat track into triplets, instantly.

EASY TO USE OPERATION

POWERED BY WAVEDNA TECHNOLOGY

GENETICALLY MODIFIED TO INSPIRE

Years of research and development went into creating a modern musical language that synthesizes MIDI and traditional notation—we call it the Music Molecule. It’s a showcase of shapes and colors that helps you visualize the rhythmic structures of music. These structures provide a way to group notes together into little note clusters that you can play with—they can be sequenced, edited and painted.

The Music Molecule allows you to group notes together and create beats entire bars at a time, without requiring any theoretical understanding of music or the piano. It’s a fresh intuitive way of visualizing music that lets creativity take center stage, and it’s the lifeblood of Liquid Rhythm.
