MIDI keyboard controllers now come in many shapes, sizes, and price points. Your keyboard can control both BPM and other instruments in your studio or stage rig, and you can easily record bass lines and keyboard parts into BPM. Use BPM's MIDI remote control features to map everything the way you want. Program your favorite MIDI keyboard to control BPM, both from the keyboard and any knobs, buttons, and sliders it may have. Then use BPM's MIDI remote control features to map additional controls such as knobs, buttons, and sliders. BPM includes template files that you can load into popular pad controller models to get going quickly. Map hardware pads to BPM's sixteen on-screen pads and you are on your way.
Together, BPM and a drum pad controller give you a true beat box experience.
