Boom comes with a diverse collection of 10 classic electronic drum kits. It offers variations of the classic 808 and 909 kits, edgier Dance and Urban - style kits, and a powerful retro kit inspired by a 'CR78 merged with a 606'. Each kit is crafted with great detail and packs a serious sonic punch.
Each kit has 10 drums, and you can easily adjust the panning, volume, tuning, and decay of each drum. There's also a special tuning screw for each drum channel to make specific sonic adjustments. This flexibility offers almost endless possibilities with a user - friendly interface.
You can mix and match drums from different kits to create your own custom kit. The drum sounds can be triggered individually via standard MIDI pitch mappings.
For quick inspiration, there are over 50 presets covering contemporary and classic electronic/urban music genres. Boom also has an onboard sequencer to create and trigger your own patterns, which can be saved as presets.
In Pattern Select mode, use the keys at the bottom of the interface to select different patterns. They're color - coded to show how they map to a MIDI keyboard from middle 'C' upwards for easy remote selection.
The Matrix display in the top - left helps you program a pattern. You can also use the bottom keys in Pattern Edit mode. There are handy features like copying one pattern to another and simple controls to adjust pattern playback: normal, double, half, or triplet time, and a swing control similar to classic MPCs and other vintage drum machines/samplers.
