FURROWDrum groove generator plugin for techno and house
Grooves that learn you. Point FURROW at your sample library and it picks the sounds for you, choosing kicks, hats and percussion from your own folders at random, or drop in the exact samples you want. Pick a style and press GENERATE. FURROW writes the rhythm, makes it breathe from intro to peak, and gets closer to the way you write every time you use it.
FURROW Trailer
Play, shape, move
PLAY
Press GENERATE. Lock the lanes you like and keep generating around them. ENERGY morphs the groove from intro to peak; automate it across your track.
SHAPE
Ten lanes, each with its own sample, grid, drift, filter and its own effects: WINDSHEAR pitch, ring mod, lo-fi, compressor, delay and reverb.
MOVE
Drag the full loop, the MIDI, or any lane's stem straight into your DAW. Or give every lane its own output. Nothing is lost: every groove goes to the ARCHIVE.

Questions
Does FURROW come with sounds?
It plays a built-in kit until you point it at your own sample folders. Then it uses your sounds, sorted automatically.
What does "it learns you" mean?
Every time you drag a groove into your DAW, archive it or regroove it, FURROW learns your step habits, accents, timing and swing. The MINE style then writes in that language. It all stays on your computer.
Can I use the grooves as audio and MIDI?
Both. Drag the full loop, the MIDI, or any single lane as MIDI or WAV onto a track, or switch on OWN OUT to give a lane its own output.
