Building on the deep feature set and intuitive interface that has made Patterning a favorite among musicians for nearly a decade, Patterning 3 introduces new tools to spark creativity and rhythmic exploration.
With the latest 3.1 update, Patterning now runs on macOS, bringing its unique circular beats to desktop for the first time.
I love it since version 1. I've never found a more interesting and intuitive drum app or drum computer hardware for instant playing, improvising, and composing from scratch.
