Beatseqr beat-tweaker inna dub garage stylee

YouTube via jonathangolub | October 26, 2010

"This is me playing around with Steve Cooley's amazing beatseqr hardware controller. I'm running it through a Macbook Pro, with Roxor and Steppa, the open-source software designed specifically for the hardware. The Macbook is sending MIDI out to an Emu ESI-32, and I'm also adding Space Echo, spring reverb and digital delay to individual tracks. I spent about 10 minutes beforehand programming the step sequencer, otherwise everything is live."
