The sequencer engine of the K.O. II provides an intuitive, fast way of building up beats and variations using 4 groups x 12 patterns. Like most DAWs, you can instantly swap patterns per group, experiment with different combos to find what beat and bass lines work together. The commit button helps you freeze a point in time and move on, adding a verse or a break. It all happens in real time while playing.
