RE: ? for drumset players into techno
There are a number of units out there that theoretically can do what you're talking about. A lot of newer drum machine/sequencers such as the Yamaha rm1x, Roland MC505 and 303, and the Korg electribes and Quasimidi Ravolution and Sirius have tap tempo buttons that will supposedly match their tempo to what you tap in. I say supposedly because on the unit I tried (MC303) it did not work worth anything. However, the technology may have improved on the newer models. On these kinds of machines you can modify a rhythm by adding/removing an instrument on a particular beat as it goes, but I'm not sure if that's what you mean. Your best bet is to try some out at a music store or something and find out what unit may work for your purposes.
