Brumm from Berlin Try it

How it works.

Thirty seconds. You will survive. The track is already playing; you hum, sing, shape, play and keep. The resident does the rest.

How it works

Five things you can do. All of them before the coffee is ready.

  1. The pad with a hummed melody as notes

    1Hum

    One phrase over the loop. It comes back as notes, played by a pluck, a bell, a bass, with a name of its own. Keep it or hum it again.

  2. A sung take landed as your voice, each syllable on its note

    2Sing

    Or sing it, words and all. It comes back as your voice, every syllable on its note and on its beat. The wobble stays if you want it to.

  3. The pad with the dot dragged to the right

    3Shape

    Drag the dot. Left is what you sang; the further right, the later the night. Up and down decides who gives way, you or the track.

  4. Play mode: the drum lights and the keys under your thumbs

    4Play

    The beat under your thumbs: kick, clap, hats, a break, a drop. Or five keys with your melody's own notes, so there is no wrong one.

  5. Saved ideas as covers

    5Keep

    Save an idea, bring it back later, hum the next one over it. Mix one into the other: Cut, Build up or Blend. A sketchbook that plays itself back.

The resident

Nothing sounds the same for two minutes.

Every loop tool gets boring the same way: eight bars, one filter moving, everyone can hear it. Brumm has a resident. It knows how a night is built, from the first kick to the drop and the break after, and it keeps the track moving while you play: a hat joins, the clap leaves, the beat changes on the drop, a break comes when it's time. It tells you what it does next and you can always take the wheel.

  • Grooving · the shaker joins in 8 s
  • Break · Drop in 6 s · new bass
  • Keep this one
  • Drop · 4 · 3 · 2 · 1
  • Grooving · lets it ride
