Same 808 pattern with the hi-hat open on the offbeat, plus a low sub-bass on the downbeat

Add a voice by adding a row

The closed/open beat gains a third row — a sub-bass that hits with the kick:

rows:
- kick
- hat
- bass
body: |
  kick  x . . . . . . . x . . . . . . .
  hat   1 . 6 . 1 . 6 . 1 . 6 . 1 . 6 .
  bass  x . . . . . . . x . . . . . . .

The bass row lands on the same beats as the kick but points to a low sub voice tuned to F, sitting just beneath the kick’s body. Filling out an arrangement is just adding rows to the grid and aiming each at a voice — the structure stays one readable block.
