Motu BPM 1.5 Motu

Advanced urban rhythm instrument

BPM® unites drum machine-style operation with advanced virtual instrument technology to give you the ultimate rhythm programming experience. Combine kits, patterns, and loops with instrument sounds, advanced mixing, and DSP effects to realize your rhythmic vision.

Beat Box Anthology – TR 808…LinnDrum…SP1200… Iconic rhythm machines from decades past that brought us legendary sounds that still drive today’s beats. BPM 1.5 delivers the sounds of 80 such classic machines from the 1970’s, 80’s and 90’s — a massive 4 GB collection of legacy rhythm sounds, combined with BPM’s updated 1.5 library, for an unprecedented 19 GB, by far the most extensive rhythm sound library available.

More musical styles – Updated soundbanks deliver kits, patterns and sounds for many additional musical styles, including big beat, dancehall, dub, electro, jungle, hard trance, house, jungle-drum bass, minimal, progressive, vinylized and others. With BPM’s FlexLoop™ technology, you control every loop element, from individual samples to FX parameters. Combine kits and patterns from each style to create unique hybrid beats.

Customized control – How you play your instrument is how you express yourself as a musical artist. That’s why BPM lets you use the MIDI controller of your choice. It needs to feel right. Be right. Just for you. BPM Version 1.5 goes further by letting you customize how it responds to your pad controller, MIDI keyboard, or other controller, so that your flow is BPM’s flow, and BPM flows with you.

Note repeat – Choose any note repeat value, from triplet 64ths to dotted quarters to 32x. Assign the note repeat button to any control item on your MIDI controller. Change the repeat value on the fly from your controller. Control the volume (velocity) of repeated notes with aftertouch pressure. This is rhythm programming they way it should be: live, dynamic, and customizable.

MIDI Select – The new MIDI Select feature gives you direct access to each pad — up to 64 simultaneous pads per scene — for quick editing and tweaking directly from your MIDI controller. Need to tweak the filter cutoff on the crash cymbal? Play the pad, tweak the filter, done.

Bank aux FX – When creating your own banks of sounds, the new Bank Aux FX feature lets you program and save effects such as delays, reverb, filters, and any of BPM’s dozens of included effects together with the bank itself, so that the next time you load the kit, the effects load with it.
