ThunderWave DJ PRODUCER LIVE step grid

The grid, in plain sight.

Eight color‑coded tracks, up to 32 steps, per‑track MUTE and a cursor that runs with the song. On top, both DJ tracks always visible; on the right, patterns, scenes, stems and panels.

One sequencer per deck.

EDIT DECK A or EDIT DECK B switches the whole screen to that deck, in its color. Each deck has its own engine, 8 patterns, kit and settings, and both play at the same time. SEQ A and SEQ B mute them separately.

ThunderWave DJ PRODUCER LIVE sound picker

197 sounds.
Hear them before you pick.

Tap a track's display and pick a kit and sound. Each tap plays once so you choose by ear. Each track can come from a different kit.

Meter, note value, swing
and polyrhythm.

ADVANCED A and ADVANCED B open each deck's full menu: kit for the 8 tracks, factory rhythms, meter (2/4 to 8/4, 6/8, 12/8), note value (half to thirty‑second, triplets), where the 1 is, swing, dynamics, click, song rhythm analysis, polyrhythm and volumes.

ThunderWave DJ PRODUCER LIVE mixer

The drums, in the mix.

Each drum kit goes through its deck's channel: fader, EQ, filter, effects and CUE. The mixer's DRUMS knob raises or lowers only the drums of the deck you edit.

And it's still your DJ desk.

DECKS brings both platters up front with pitch, SYNC, loops, bend, vinyl and 8 hot cues. The drums keep playing while you mix.
