Abstract

Music production relies increasingly on advanced hardware and software tools that makes the creative process more flexible and versatile. The advancement of these tools helps reduce both the time and money required to create music. This paper presents research towards enhancing the functionality of a key tool, the drum machine. We add the ability to learn how to groovefrom human drummers, an important human quality when it comes to drumming. We show how the learning drum machine overcomes limitations of traditional drum machines.
