Imaginando has announced the launch of its most ambitious product to date. A groovebox-style music production application, BAM is designed to create everything from drum beats and loops, to complete tracks, all within a single, easy-to-use, intuitive environment.
BAM facilitates the rapid creation and live performance of loop-based electronic music, via the process of sequencing various sound sources/engines such as drum machines, synthesizers and samplers etc, plus effects processing, and also offers a high level of control via parameter modulation and automation. With its track, clip and scene structure, entire songs can be arranged using BAM’s ‘follow actions’ to construct automatic playback transitions between scenes.
BAM is for anyone who wants to make electronic beats and music. Utilizing Imaginando’s signature style of a simple, clean, minimal interface, BAM puts users’ creativity first and helps capture musical ideas fast.
