#DRUMSPILLAGE SOFTWARE#

Route that to a drum rack or Battery and I have a TR style step sequencer for them. So basically, something which offers TR style step sequencing and pattern storage but which uses samples with the option to go in and have an extensive amount of control over them.ĭoes anything like this exist? One option I came across was to use one of the D16 groups TR plugins but just for the midi out. A fixed choice of soft/med/hard velocity levels as well as a global accent which affects all sounds within the rack. As an Ableton Live user, I cannot find a better option than Drum Racks, but what I want to do at the moment is purposely try to get a drum machine feel, at least in terms of velocity. I just prefer the sound of samples if I want TR sounds. The D16 stuff, the TR emulations didn't inspire me but I do like the TR style sequencing. I didn't really gel with a lot of the stuff mentioned. Some conga/bongo patches running into a waveshaper for instance gets some really punchy FM-like clangs.

There's not much to dislike really, yeah you can end up with a certain sound which is very 'microtonic' but it's not hard to process something.

I haven't stumbled upon any other software drum synth that I find useful. Microtonic's bad ass, been using it for a while, got a lot of sounds that started life in that and have been revisiting it for some electro/techno stuff I want to do. The loops I'm coming up with sound thick and vibey and it's definitely what I was craving - something really fun that sounds effortlessly good and doesn't have a bazillion different interfaces and modes. it's pretty roundly exceeded any expectations I had for a drum synth when I started looking.
