PercussionStudio

PercussionStudio was designed to help you easily transcribe rhythms, in order to play and learn them without much difficulty.

Basic interface

In order to keep things simple, the developers went with a straightforward user interface that will allow you to browse through the software's features without getting distracted.
Once you have chosen your instruments, you can even hide the list, so you can have more space for musical notes and tempos.
Each created rhythm has its own volume sliders and the option to only hear that particular track, or to mute it in order to hear the others.
Even though they are effortlessly drawn, these sound controls are very helpful when trying to focus on particular instruments or rhythms.

Downloadable instruments and rhythms

PercussionStudio offers you a multitude of preset instruments ready to be loaded and played, but in case you need more, you can download others from the program's website.

If you're happy with the result, you can also share it by uploading it on the product's site, so others can download it.
There is a multitude of rhythm presets to be downloaded, like Rumba, Cha Cha, Merengue, Samba and many more. You can load and play with these, edit them the way you want by tinkering with the beats per minute slider.
You can also see what others have been working on by downloading rhythms from the website. You can use and modify these as you wish.
