Patterning 3 : Drum Machine
"A UI Masterpiece" - App Store Review, US
“Patterning beats any hardware drum machine for polyrhythms and evolving patterns.” - Sound on Sound Magazine
“An amazingly fun and creative app... Even beginners will create something cool.” - AskAudio
"10/10" MusicTech.com.

Patterning, the award-winning circular drum machine, is back with version 3. Building on the deep feature set and intuitive interface that has made Patterning a favorite among musicians over the last decade, Patterning 3 introduces new features to spark creativity and rhythmic exploration.

And with the latest update to version 3.1, Patterning now also runs on macOS, bringing circular beats to the desktop for the first time.

When Patterning launched in 2015, it introduced a fresh take on the drum machine with its intuitive circular interface and a new approach to generating rhythms. Designed to inspire creativity, Patterning became a beat-making hub for musical explorers, creative comrades, and novices alike. With 700+ free user-created and artist drum kits, the Patterning community is strong and growing.

In Patterning 3, Olympia Noise Co. continues to innovate with exciting new features such as parametric swing, fill patterns, parameter modulation, an FX track, multiple timelines, and more. Patterning 3 also adds support for AUv3, allowing it to run as a plugin inside a host application.

Here’s some of what’s new in Patterning 3:

▶ AUv3

Patterning 3 now operates as an AUv3 plugin, integrating into AUv3 hosts like Ableton Live, Logic, AUM, and more. Multi-channel output and MIDI are available in supported hosts.

▶ macOS

Run Patterning 3 as a standalone app or AUv3 plugin on Apple Silicon.

▶ Parametric Swing

Parametric Swing is a novel approach to musical swing that allows for the creation of beats with a unique feel—from slightly off-kilter to wildly erratic, drunken grooves.

▶ Fill Patterns

Quickly switch to a "fill" version of your patterns, perfect for adding dramatic flair or transitioning between song sections.

▶ Modulation

Apply LFOs, randomization, and velocity to most parameters, crafting beats that pulse, evolve, and react in complex ways. Simply hold the ALT button to assign modulation to your tracks.

▶ FX Track

Dive deeper into sound design with the new FX Track. This dedicated track allows for the automation and modulation of FX parameters, enabling detailed sound sculpting. Manipulate effects over time to add movement, texture, and depth to your beats.

▶ Multiple Timelines

Create full songs, loop sections, and more with the updated timeline editor.

▶ New Effects

Patterning 3 includes new effects: track saturation and ring modulation, a master compressor, and expanded delay and EQ controls.

▶ Audio, MIDI, and Ableton Live Set Export

Export perfect multichannel and stereo loops, MIDI files, and even complete Ableton Live Sets. Drag and drop MIDI from Patterning directly into your DAW.

▶ Quantize and Nudge
Record in beats and keep your groove with the nudge layer, or adjust quantization to bring them closer to the grid.

▶ Fast Automation Layers

Touch a parameter to view and edit its automation layer on the circle.

Patterning 3 builds on the huge feature set from previous versions, including:

▶ Unique, circular interface for quick and inspiring beat-making.
Per-track step lengths up to 512 steps in length, playback modes, swing, and more.

▶ Record Beats

Use the drum pads to record beats.

▶ Deep Sampler Engine

Sculpt your sound with controls for pitch, envelope, filter, effect sends, panning, distortion, and ring modulation.

▶ Automation and Modulation
Sequence envelopes, filters, effect sends, MIDI, and more.

▶ Huge Library of Free Drum Kits

Choose from 700+ user-created and artist drum kits.

▶ MIDI Integration

Extensive support for MIDI input and output.

▶ Synchronize

Ableton Link, MIDI Clock, and AU host sync.

…and more.
