Hi all. I love the sounds on this pedal, and the simplicity of it. Turn the knobs, flick the switch.
Is there anything close to this nowadays?
I use VST electro plugins, but find I have to go in and quantize after the fact (on a windows machine) and it can take a while.
Feeding a pedal like the above into the computer would save a whole lot of time and frustration. I am not one to go in and out of menus deep diving etc.
Other option, but I am not sure could be something like the Akai Professional MPD218 , but maybe that just does the exact same thing as a midi keyboard, only it's pads and not keys and it doesn't look like you can loop what you play.
The Arturia keystep 37 also looks like it could be a solution if I needed a keyboard...

ive got quite a few iOS drummer apps that sound great, are quick to set up patterns or modify existing ones, can tap a pattern in quickly via screen and have lots of drum sounds.

also the Elektron: Cycles. Lots of fun and easy to use
I love some of the old Roland TR series drum machines but not enough to pay the subscriptions to access the virtual versions.
If you require quantised step time rhythm patterns, just use your DAW's "snap to" function in the MIDI grid editor. Draw your beats with the computer mouse or trackpad.
If you are using an artificial intelligence algorithm to generate drum parts, use its Swing/shuffle parameter(s) to humanise the drumming.

Meanwhile, editing the opening post turned the playable YouTube video into an unplayable thumbnail.
I also have a free VST plugin called MT Power Drums with a library of grooves. I dropped in a groove and replace the VST with an electro one e.g. a Roland TR type kit, and it seems to work too, so a few options discovered since my original post.
