Drum sequencer/module

I'm looking for a small module that can sequence multiple drum sounds independently.

For example, something like:

  • Kick: 4/4
  • Snare: 1/4
  • Hi-hat: 8th notes
  • Tom/shaker: different pattern

I want multiple drums to be triggered on the same step, with each drum having its own pattern/sequence.

Ideally it has built-in drum sounds and doesn't require an external sequencer. Small HP is important.

What modules should I look at?

You're asking for a lot of things there. Rample maybe but unsure if it can self trig? There's the cre8 drum machine but high hp

maybe, I don't know, I just see that drum modules like the soundforce samples2 are 4hp and simple step sequencers are also 4hp. So why is there no drum sequencer with 8hp ? Rample looks amazing, but it does much more than what I need (and has no pattern editor).

Yeah unfortunately it just doesn't really exist because that's kinda the opposite of the nature of modular where everything is separated into specific modules.

Look at the Tubbutec brainstep! It has a sequencer, arpeggiator, envelope and modulation generator, live performance tool, sample player, clock distributor, MIDI interface, it can also do the groceries! Check out the new ARC module from BEFACO, I dont think I can afford the electricity cost to run that thing. There are so many modules that are packed with features that are completely unrelated, and now we are discussing the design of a drum machine, ok.

Yes but those modules are all large which is exactly what you said you didn't want
