Breakage is a freeware cross platform drum machine. Its goal is to serve as a research platform for breakbeat composition above the note level with an intuitive, user friendly interface for live rhythm programming. Using neural networks to extract and use trends in drum patterns, Breakage employs artificial intelligence's data mining techniques in the service of interactive generative music, taking inspiration from Nick Collins's SuperCollider library "BBCut" for automatic breakbeat cutting.
