ṬABBĀL

A MIDI clip sequencer for percussive ornaments and embellishments. Trigger fills, ghost notes, flams, and rolls — not single notes.

The Tabbal plugin interface — a grid of lapis and gold ornament clips on a deep navy background.

Ornaments, not notes

Each cell triggers a complete rhythmic figure — fills, ghost notes, flams, rolls — instead of a single note.

Grid sequencing

Build intricate percussion patterns by toggling cells across beats, with per-cell velocity, scale, and nudge.
