Witech TheDrumSource

TheDrumSource is a sample based drum machine. It has a sequencer and a built in sample browser. It is designed to look and “feel” like a classic (x0x) hardware drum machine.

The built-in sample browser in TheDrumsource is designed to let you navigate through your samples. The sequencer can be running when looking for new samples. You will hear the sample the moment you select it. There is also a quick button to select the previous and next sample in the same directory as the current selected sample.
