20 Distinct Rhythmic Voices
Dive into 20 distinct drum algorithms tailored for everything from driving Tech House pulses to chaotic IDM glitch layers, deep Trap syncopations, and organic Boom Bap grooves. Draco uses a deeply musical probability matrix to calculate hits on the fly based on your master density controls. Whether you need a minimal foundation or a maximalist onslaught of ghost notes and ratchets, Draco intelligently scales your rhythm to perfectly fit your production.
Evolving, Loop-Stable Phrases
Say goodbye to repetitive 1-bar loops. Draco introduces a decoupled 4-cell phrase architecture that allows different sections of your pattern to evolve independently across a timeline. Powered by deterministic, seed-based hashing, Draco generates beautifully structured 1-bar to 16-bar loops.
Pro-Level Fills, Breaks, and Feel
Bring your arrangements to life with performance macros designed to inject energy exactly when your song demands it. Dial in the Break macro to mathematically slice away elements at cadence points for tension-building drops, or turn up the Fill macro to trigger smart, genre-specific drum rolls on the fly. Paired with dynamic velocity scaling, customizable swing registers, and micro-shifting humanization controls, Draco lets you dial in the “pocket” of your groove with precision.
Seamless Rack Integration
Draco is built to drive your favorite Reason instruments effortlessly. Use the comprehensive Auto-Map menu to instantly snap into optimized layouts for Kong, Redrum, Rytmik, Reason Drum Kits, or General MIDI. If you are using a custom VST or hardware unit, the interactive front-panel custom displays allow you to manually scroll notes or trigger instant MIDI Learn. With 16 individual gate outputs on the back panel, Draco offers the ultimate modular flexibility for the modern DAW producer.
Modular CV Matrix & Routing Flexibility
Turn Draco around to unlock a playground of modular routing possibilities. The back panel features a massive CV matrix, providing 16 individual drum lane gate outputs alongside master gate and pitch connections to patch into your favorite samplers, synths, or utilities. On the input side, you get extensive external modulation flexibility with dedicated CV inputs for every primary green macro control—including Drive, Roll, Hats, Toms, Percs, Fills, and Breaks—plus complete CV control over your groove settings like Swing, Pocket, Dynamics, and Ghost Notes. With additional CV jacks to dynamically randomize or mute pattern seeds on the fly, Draco transitions seamlessly from a standalone sequencer into a deeply responsive, living hub for your entire modular rack ecosystem.
