Trace Sequenced Sample Box 4+

WELCOME TO TRACE
Trace is a versatile tool for sample based music creation.
It´s a drumcomputer, groovebox, sample animator and metronome with onboard effects and live performing skills.
Use it intuitively to achieve unexpected, inspiring results and produce rhythms, complete playbacks, atmospheric soundtracks, etc..
It comes with a really special sequencer which is priority driven, means: One channel trigger at a time to create unusual patterns with automatic generated death notes.
Do not have to preprogram any sequence.
Just dial in the pattern length and tempo, choose a sample and divisor for each channel and let it swing.
Create a song with the arranger and synchronize your patterns and selected channel delays to the global song speed. Play your animated samples, patterns and songs live with multiple realtime FX options per channel/group and use the internal recorder to tape your session to wav.
Share your recorded wav´s via social media, e-mail and cloud, or drag and drop them to your computer.
Trace comes with more than 160 carefully homemade samples.

Each sequencer channel includes:

Beat Divisor/Trigger
18 divisors/trigger points, including different subdivisions of 1/4 note. Changes happen on the fly, with preview.
