KIZAMU
刻む to carve rhythm
Turn a bar into a sequence of cuts, reverses, freezes, and grain. Paint the pattern. Let the track move through it.
Break the grid.
Keep the groove.
Kizamu is a step sequencer for effects, designed to sit on an audio track. Each step can pass clean audio or trigger a distinct transformation. Connected steps become a single phrase, so gestures feel intentional instead of chopped into unrelated hits.
