Gradywerks - MPG64-R (Pc)

The MPG64-R is the sister program of the MPG64-A and is geared for creating drum patterns. It is similar to the old MPG Drum Machine, with many new features derived from the MPG64-A. Some features include the ability to play in midi sync with the MPG64-A and the ability to export the pattern data to a Midi file. The primary feature of this program is a very simple, 64-step drum grid which can be used in lieu of your existing drum machine's complex sequencer. It can be used to trigger any type of midi drum machine, either software or hardware. Each of the 20 rows can be set to a different midi channel, so you can even trigger multiple devices simultaneously from the same grid! You can also run multiple MPG64-R's in synchronization, just in case 20 drum sounds triggered simultaneously isn't enough :)

Due to the enormous amount of time that it took to develop this program (the main interface has a combined 1,400 clickable buttons, keys, and knobs!) there is a small charge ($29 USD) to download it.
