You already have are tons of drum machine plugins, I know. Yet, I believe Beat Scholar – the first plugin by Modalics – is worth your attention, as it presents an entirely new way to compose rhythm in the digital domain.
In the developers’ words, Beat Scholar gets you:
• A unique rhythm composition system, developed to make the deepest & most
interesting grooves accessible in a few clicks.
• Place any drum on any beat, Beat Scholar gives you total freedom to create drum
fills, linear grooves and place them anywhere.
• Add bars, change measures and beat values easily.
• Beat Scholar keeps you in musical context, encouraging experimentation and
innovation.
