Workflow
Sketch fast. Shape the groove. Export clean.
TEMPO-1 keeps the important drum-machine surfaces close: pads, step editing, kit shaping, mixer moves, MIDI control, and export. It is built for momentum first, with enough depth to finish the idea outside the sketch.
Groove shaping
Shape patterns with velocity, swing, BPM, pattern length, and visible step-page controls for quick variation.
Step velocitySwing controlPattern length
Sound design and resampling
Choose modeled and sample-based sounds, import your own WAV files, bounce a voice to sample, or bring an exported loop back onto a pad.

MIDI and AUv3 workflows
Map performance controls with MIDI learn, trigger voices from hardware, and run TEMPO-1 as an AUv3 extension in supported hosts.

Export and sharing
Move ideas out cleanly with current-loop WAV export, current-pattern MIDI export, live WAV capture, and preset-bank import/export.

Sequencer feel
Pattern controls that stay close to the beat.
Keep the core rhythm decisions in reach while you build: choose the page, set the working length, shape velocity, and keep tempo changes visible without leaving the grid.
Step pages
Move through longer patterns without losing the beat grid.
Length16 / 32 / 64
Start tight, then open the pattern when the groove asks for more room.
VelocityStep level
Raise or soften selected hits without changing the pattern.
BPM + swingFeel
Keep timing controls visible while the sequencer stays in focus.
Pattern slots64 slots
Save alternate ideas and variations without rebuilding the kit.
iPhone captures
The workstation, sized for touch.
The phone version keeps the same rhythm-first surfaces close: pads, voice controls, sequencer movement, FX, and routing.

TEMPO-1 combines modeled voices, bundled samples, user sample import, and voice bounce-to-sample. Capture or export a loop as WAV, load it back onto a pad, and build new layers on top.
