I have been trying this software for a few days now and I am finding it very useful for creating quick backing tracks for song writing purposes. The home page gives you an overview of the software. It really is free. There is no trial period type catch or anything of that sort. It has a good forum and help pages. You can get a response from the person who wrote the software. I am not connected with this company in any way, shape or form except that I have been using the software for a few days now.
I have the paid version of ChordPulse as well but it doesn't seem to have the rhythm patterns or sound quality that JJazzLab has. It took me a few days to get comfortable with JJazzLab but I think I like it better versus ChordPulse. I don't want to say anything bad about ChordPulse though as it is good and works as advertised.
I was thinking of taking the backing track and placing it in CbB as an audio track and then adding my lead guitar and vocal tracks. I know I wouldn't have as much control over the individual instrument parts but I was hoping it would be good enough to demo the songs I write. If I understand what you are sharing I could add the backing track as a .mid file and maintain control over the individual instrument parts.

Drum beats and loops made with drum machines or sequencers are mostly used for electronic music such as Hip Hop, Rap, Trap, Reggeaton, House, Disco, but they are also suitable for any musical genre such as Pop, Rock and Jazz.
Using the drum sequencer is very simple and intuitive, however we recommend that you take a minute to go through our Beginner's Guide and get to know all the features of the Drum Machine.
Download our Drum machine app to create drum beats even with your smartphone.
You can select and change the sound kit with the top row of buttons above the note grid, even while the drum sequencer is running, so you can listen to the same drum beat you've created with different drum kits and choose the one best suits the musical style you like.
The Drum Machine sound kits are designed to easily obtain a realistic drum sound, for this reason two different tracks are assigned for snare, tom and bass drum, the first track for the accented main notes and the second, with a slightly different tone, for ghost or grace notes.
The score represents two measures of the time signature you select, and each column corresponds to quarter notes, eighth notes or sixteenth notes. To make the visual approach quicker, bars and quarter notes are highlighted.
The horizontal lines correspond to the tracks that make up each sound kit: snare drum, kick, toms, cymbals and percussion. To the left of the note grid you can see the drum kit elements, to the right the sliders for adjusting the volume of each track.
The "Clear" button deletes all notes in the score, the second button indicates the time signature, which can be switched to 4/4, 3/4 or 12/8 time. The "Metro" button switches the metronome on or off, the "Chain" button makes the drum sequencer play the saved patterns one after the other.
The Play/Stop button starts and stops playback, you can also use the space bar on your keyboard to do this. Then you see the display indicating the playback speed in bpm (beats per minute) and the two buttons to increase and decrease it.
With the rightmost buttons you can load preset basic Rock, Hip Hop and Latin drum beats, or a random fill, into the note grid.
The bottom two sliders control the master volume and random beat dynamics that simulate the sound of a human drummer.
The Online Drum Machine gives you the ability to save 10 different patterns for each time signature, so you can create a small collection of drum beats, or simple backing tracks for your songs using playback of saved patterns in sequence.
When you save a pattern, the bpm and volume settings of the tracks are also saved.
To duplicate and modify a pattern, once the pattern you want to duplicate is loaded, press the "Copy" button, which will change to "Paste". Then select the pattern you want to fill, and finally press "Paste". Add or remove the desired notes and press "Save".
Please note that Virtual Drumming's Online Drum Machine uses Local Storage, so if you switch internet browser or clear your browser's cache memory, you will lose your settings and saved drum beats.

In the closing weeks of 2021, I have found myself in conversation with colleagues on my own team but also other Catholic schools and other school systems reflecting on how well we taught through the huge challenges of lockdown for a whole term. We have also had some very productive conversations about the positives that we can take away from these challenges and apply to our classrooms - both physical and virtual.
