Liquid Rhythm is a beat sequencing and rhythm generation software developed by WaveDNA and initially released in 2010. [1] The software’s core technology, the Music Molecule, visualizes patterns and relationships between MIDI notes and allows users to create and edit note clusters and patterns rather than individual notes.
