Drummer-1 / Sole developer · Audio software
A drum machine designed to feel like an instrument.
I designed and built it alone: the plugin, its interface, the brand, and the website.
The problem
Turning a rhythm in your head into a usable beat can be slower than it should be. Drum tools tend to sound robotic or bury the musician in menus.
My contribution
- Audio software
- Interaction design
- Solo engineering
What I designed
A sequencer where velocity, swing and timing are visible in the grid, so a pattern can be read before it is heard.

Shipping milestone
What changed
Drummer-1 shipped as a VST3 and AU plugin for macOS, with genre packs and export to audio or MIDI.
Design decision
Draw each control’s effect on the pattern itself, so a musician sees a setting before hearing it.
