The result: patterns that actually sound good and are satisfying to play. Customize your patterns with: • Length: 4, 8, 16, or 32 beats • Complexity: control how many notes per bar • Breaks: add breathing room with rests • Accents: emphasize certain beats for groove Every generated pattern is unique, but always musical. SCALES FOR EVERY INSTRUMENT DrumFlow includes the most popular handpan and tongue drum scales: • Kurd (incl. D Minor) – the most common handpan scale • Celtic / Amara – bright and uplifting • Integral – versatile and expressive • Hijaz – Middle Eastern flavor • Pentatonic Major & Minor – universally pleasing • And many more Set your drum's root note and scale, or create fully custom tunings to match your exact instrument.
