Bonix Nova

Bonix Nova is a professional-grade pocket drum machine and step sequencer that puts the power of classic hardware grooveboxes in the palm of your hand. Build hypnotic beats live — toggle steps, twist parameters, and hear your rhythm evolve in real time without ever stopping the loop. With eight tracks, up to 16 steps each, adjustable BPM (40–240), and swing from straight to maximum groove, every beat you imagine is within reach.

Go deeper with Parameter Locks — the same per-step controls found on boutique hardware drum machines. Set individual probabilities so your hi-hats shuffle differently every bar. Nudge microtiming offsets to push and pull hits for a human feel. Transpose single hits by semitones, shape decay per step, and arm conditional triggers that fire only on fills or every N loops. Unleash polymeter by giving each track a different length and watch phase relationships shift across the full cycle.

Explore a catalogue of 50 hand-crafted drum kits spanning 30+ genres — 808 Hip-Hop, 909 Techno, Jungle Break, Afrobeat, Gqom, Gnawa, Flamenco Cajon, Baile Funk, and more. Load pre-built pattern starters to jumpstart creativity, or study the Techniques library to sharpen your rhythmic vocabulary. The 25-lesson structured tutorial walks you from your first kick-snare all the way through probability gating, song-mode chaining, and advanced groove design.

Save your best beats to the Vault, share pattern cards to Photos, and chain up to eight patterns in Song Mode for seamless live sets. Four hardware-inspired colour themes let you dial in the perfect aesthetic before every session.
