Your Drum Machine Already Has a Sequencer. Heres Why to Use Another One

“Most drum machines come with a capable sequencer built in: probability, micro-timing, ratchets, song mode. So why add another one? Because once there is more than one instrument on the desk, every machine brings its own workflow, its own menus and its own way of thinking. Patterns get scattered across different boxes, projects are hard to recall, and the full groove is never visible in one place.

This video covers five reasons to move the writing to an external sequencer and let the drum machines do what they do best: sound great. With the OXI One MKII at the centre, every instrument is written the same way, the whole groove is visible at once, and the patterns stay with you, whatever hardware is connected.
