Sample Library, Synths and Sequencing

BAM ships with a sample library of more than 1000 drum and percussive samples, plus melodic timbres. Its built-in engines include an oscillator synth, a drum synth, a sampler and a classic acid bass synth, so you can start a beat without loading anything else.

The step sequencer supports up to 256 steps per clip, and a MIDI clip piano roll editor handles note-based parts. Clip-based parameter automation and track-level trigger options, along with LFO and EG modulators, let you add movement to patterns over time.

Effects, Mixing and Live Clip Launching

Each track offers filter, 3-band EQ, parametric EQ, delay, chorus, compressor, reverb, phaser, saturator, bit reduction and stereo enhancer effects. The mixer provides volume, pan, mute, solo and arm controls for every track.

The matrix MIDI clip and scene launcher lets you trigger clips and scenes, with extensive follow action options for arranging sections. That makes BAM usable for sketching in the studio and for triggering loops during a live set.
