Back to the Breaks: Exploring KRINJAH's Cutlass Sequencer

By Mizeyesis | November 2026

Sometimes the best production tools are the ones that let you get straight to making music.

Today, I installed Cutlass, a breakbeat chopping sequencer by KRINJAH, and decided to give it a quick spin. I loaded up the Planet Rock break and started experimenting. What immediately stood out was how intuitive the workflow felt. I have many other sequencers and this one felt much easier to use in comparison. It became increasingly apparent that what I needed, was easy to find. The process made remembering how the rhythm works within theoretical terms, even easier.

I've worked with plenty of production tools that require a fair amount of setup before you can get creative. Within minutes, I was exploring rhythmic variations, rolls, random patterns, and offbeat sequences without getting bogged down in complicated menus and processes. For someone who loves jungle, drum and bass, and the unpredictable character of chopped breaks, that's exciting.

One of the things I've always appreciated about jungle is its rhythmic freedom. The unexpected snare placement, the rapid-fire rolls, the little imperfections that give a break personality. It's not always about making everything perfectly quantized as sometimes the magic is in the movement. And my chaotic mind frankly doesn't like quantization for lot of music production aspects.

Cutlass seems to understand that approach and the wanting for freedom in mind of a junglist. I recorded a short clip of my first experiment. Nothing overly produced or rehearsed, just me exploring a new tool and sharing what it can do.

I'm looking forward to digging deeper and seeing where it takes me creatively. More production experiments are coming soon.

Love, peace &, jungle beats!
