Drum Machine Trick: How to import loops from a 100,000+ MIDI clip library into almost any sequencer

[@marcosrotllan]

I was doing that one year ago with the keystep sending midi to the octatrack...works flawless

[@BartSchuller]

As a complement to this: start with an audio drum loop, then use Ableton's audio-to-midi on it, then send that to the drum machine. I'm guessing Ableton will use a fixed target drum rack for this, so the note mapping would be the same for any audio drum loop!

[@ApexDubb]

Thanx buddy Also If you find .Kar files and change the extension to .mid you can strip the midi data of any song you can find a karaoke file for This is a great way to grab stems from different songs that share the same key for making midi mashups

[@HEC9]

I'm using Maschine MK3 ...but thank you! Useful tips.

[@setvice]

This is incredible. My Drumbrute just become 100,000 times more useful.

[@dman030]

especially elektron should let you batch import midi clips, they have many sound packs that do this already (sounds and what must be midi).....so i dont see why they dont just simple fix this with C6 or whatever. probably take them half a day to fix this in their software / OS. this is helpful though, thanks.....but also why i do most drum work in the box these days.

[@madmac66]

This. Is. Genius. I’m gonna create a Cubase file just for drum grooves that will act as my library. No more losing data from my drum machine

[@micindir4213]

These all are 80ies midi tricks. Which are nice, and people should know them, don't get me wrong, but why manufacturers still segragate software and hardware is beyond me. I mean for a long time I was on a steady diet of rack midi modules, alesis mmt 8, Yamaha QY, 4 track cassette, 8 track cassette, stompboxes etc. When it comes to do actual work, its always ableton, and recently I've pulled a trigger for push. Ableton + push is a combo that got me through tight dealines, theathre productions, live sets, studio work etc. etc. etc. Any drummachine is sitting there unused (at least its pattern/song mode), unless it has fast to access sounds. Its ok to use bare-bone sound generators like volca kick, jomox mbase, etc. Its almost modular approach, where audio interface outputs just clicks for generators to trigger. And again, its all run from push, as it is real centerpiece for me. Standalone boxes can't be beaten in live environment, though. What I would've liked to see is an interconnected system, where pattern in a drummachine is a reflection of ableton's clip, and vise-versa. Imagine if you had the ability to have two way street with hardware, as with software instruments. Oh, and creating audio track to hear your boxes as well as midi clip is retarded in 2019. That's why I still think its all a hobby shopping and not serious work - its just unpractical. 90 % of the time its software and as a cherry on top some quirky sound from very specific analog/whatever piece.

[@JamieClark]

mic indir as much as I love my DT and Circuit, you might be right... I get so much work done (and so much more quickly) in Reason10 or LPX. Something about Ableton is off-putting for me visually, but I sometimes envy the workflow. I’m happy to have my DeepMind12 and Blofeld, because I can treat them like acoustic instruments and record them live instead of programming midi if I want to lay down an idea quickly. Digitakt? Nothing quick about exporting from that box!

[@micindir4213]

@@JamieClark I'd say its ableton only worth getting into if its a push+software package. For me 'live' is indispensible for live performance. There's just no competition in that field. And creating in ableton live from the start removes the export bit, which makes studio to live process much quicker. So one feeds the other and vice-versa. I'd say I use ableton live 50/50 with reaper. Reaper is a daw I use when you record (audio) performance or arrange/write songs. Ableton live for me is sound design tool and uninterrupted, unique, "workflow" daw. Much like a combo of logic (utilty daw) and reason (workflow daw) actually. Whoever would port push's workflow into these daws would really make progress in music technology, and not repackaging 70ies technology.

[@JamieClark]

​@@micindir4213 Now that you mention it, Reason is already going out of its way to repackage 70s (and 80s) technology, and that's part of what I like about it. Very simple to figure out how to do what you want (workflow). If some of the audio editing/group comping and staff notation from Logic came into Reason (as well as some non-linear MIDI clips a la Ableton, which we already kind of see in the ReDrum, so we know it's possible...), then I would be a happy camper. As it is, I don't like the vector drawn UI in Ableton, and prefer looking at the Reason Rack for sound design. I know ReWire exists, but that's such a hassle, and I'm terrified if I recall a project and it can't find the corresponding Reason save file!

[@eardrumkru]

@@JamieClark If I may: I work with Reason in rewire mode under Cubase for years and never have problem find the right project Just give the same name to both projects and save them into the same folder

[@JamieClark]

EAR DRUM KRU thanks, maybe I’ll try - with Reason, I don’t even need save-folders. Each project is self-contained (at least on OS X). If I need a Project folder for each song I make, id probably go insane (like back in LogicPro9 days). I’m good at writing music, not being organized! I didn’t sign up for this haha! My theory is that’s why great painters become famous after they’re gone - someone who is organized takes all their work and markets/distributes it.

[@YousefKekhia]

Hey :) Could you please tell me how are you able to send midi notes to the audio tracks in the digitakt? i thought this is not possible? Would really appreciate the answer

[@lefanuproject]

I believe that in the MIDI project settings you can set the MIDI channels for the audio track. So presumably they are all here set on one channel, but yes, that doesn't explain how this one channel can trigger a different audio track. Unless, each track was also set to a different tune somehow?

[@alltaken0]

Hi, thanks for this, very good tutorial! I am trying to record midi into the machine but not for drums, for the notes themselves. I basically want to record midi seq into it so i can then trigger my synth with them. Instead of playing the notes, record them in as they are too complex. Looks like i need to record the midi for the chromatic keyboard it has but not sure yet how. Maybe you can help. Thanks a lot!

[@CrplCon]

There are no free midi drum loops that I can find in a google search. EVERYTHING asks for a credit card.

[@midierror]

This is a great idea o breathe life into your drum machines. Am I right in thinking you can save the racks you make to use again? If so, we could make a library of ableton racks for different drum machines collectively.

[@loopop]

Indeed you can save and reuse racks - the problem is each rack will work for one library / drum machine set - and even then only when the drum machine has the same sounds. So, for example, the kick on the drumbrute is c1 but on the digitakt it could be anything depending on which sample you loaded. Actually even the drum brute has two kicks (with and without color, and that can be mapped to taste)

[@Krushtaar]

@loopop do you know a convenient way to map the Ableton drum rack to the right pads on the MPC live? And what could be the reason, that the MPC live (or MPC One) is not available as dedicated MIDI Controller in the MIDI configuration of Ableton? All the best

[@tubthump]

I used to record patterns into Music X on Amiga like this

[@jjaffee]

can this technique be used in the same way with the Digitone? I book marked this video to come back to when I got it all set up and today is that day. Only now realizing that the device in the video is the Digitact ... not the digitize. Thanks again for the great videos

[@loopop]

hey - I've not tried it, but it should work!

[@fromsoundtosea2010]

Nice video! I'd like to know if I can record midi notes from Digitakt to my DAW using USB cable. The reason I'm asking that is because I'm thinking to buy the new Arturia Audiofuse 8pre, but it doesn't come with MIDI I/O, so having a Digitakt, I could connect my MIDI devices to Digitakt and record MIDI data into my DAW via Digitakt USB.

Am i the only one who cant figure how to set up the midi effect rack?

[@lesterfalcon1350]

With the Electribe Sampler, do you loose the groove. Does the Electribe quantize it?

[@nkozi]

As said elsewhere, this is a very 80’s programming trick, but it’s very good to have this in a modern video since a lot of older programming knowledge has been lost over time because of VHS conversion and advances in the language we use to talk about music gear changing. It’s serendipitous that you made this, though. I’m gonna be buying an Analog RYTM mkII soon and I do a lot of programming on Ableton’s timeline, and wanna use it live as a drum module.

[@ApexDubb]

I use my MPC exactly like this flawlessly

[@oflittleconsequence]

Does it work the other way around? I want to buy a cheap, portable drum sequencer (like the Roland T-8 or TR-6S, or the IK Uno) so I can sketch ideas onto them while I'm out somewhere. When I get home, I want to transfer/record the MIDI into my MPC. Will that work with any drum machine that has a MIDI out, or do I have to avoid the single-track machines like the IK and only get a multi-track like the Rolands?

[@loopop]

Most drum machines send out MIDI - if they do, you can record it. Of course channel and note assignment may vary

[@oflittleconsequence]

Thank you so much! I spent HOURS slacking off at work today in search of this answer!

[@rnah7056]

[@loopop]

Hey - thanks for your comment it's a good point. I'll add that to the description. It would actually a bit simpler. In order to get this trick to work with a drum machine that needs notes to appear on individual MIDI channels, here's what you need to do: (1) Set up a MIDI track in your DAW for each of the Electribe channels you want to send notes to (2) Set MIDI *from* in all these tracks you set up to the track that has your source MIDI drum clip (3) add the Pitch MIDI effect to each channel track as needed. (4) Set the MIDI *to* to the Electribe MIDI channel you want to play on. That's it - it should work! You can group the channels later if they make the screen to busy, and you don't need a MIDI effect rack. Let me know what you think.

[@mikedegrazia]

Is it safe to say you could just sample the beat from ezdrummer and chop it even if it is nonpurchased?? not that i condone that sort of behavior...so even if its not say triggering the midi it could still be utilized to some degree.

[@loopop]

Technically, sure you could sample it. Legally/ethically I don't really know and I doubt the terms and conditions would allow it explicitly.

[@Nomo_Popo]

'Import' is misleading. You're talking about recording them in realtime.

[@loopop]

I disagree. What I describe is damn close to adding an “import over midi” function that just takes a few seconds longer than file transfer over midi.. That’s why there’s the word “trick” before “import” in the title.

[@diogocmx]

Love your videos, but the title on this one is totally misleading. You're not "importing" anything, you're recording in real time, which is completely different. Importing implies dumping files without any playback involved. It's essentially an offline operation.

[@loopop]

Thanks for the love ;) Regarding the title, I totally disagree. First, the title says "trick" before it says "import". Second, I am literally importing the notes over MIDI. If the drum machine had an "import over MIDI" function it would be essentially the same, only take less time. If you sync your DAW do the drum machine you literally press play on it and the pattern is transferred (assuming it can sync). Third, I totally disagree with the word "totally"... while Ideally I would have hacked an "Import MIDI file" onto your drum machine, I think this is pretty darn close...

[@sunilsolanki]

Excellent work! Are you connecting your drum machines to the computer via USB? what if you have a non USB older drum machine??

[@loopop]

Thanks! If your drum machine doesn't have USB but has MIDI IN this should still work - you'll need to USB MIDI interface to connect your computer to your drum machine - note: Not a USB MIDI host, that's something completely different ;)

I've been trying to create this MIDI Effect Rack. It appears each Chain is an assigned note. How to configure this is not explained in Ableton that I can tell. Your earlier reply to Miss Antidote: "It’s really quite easy to make these - just drag the pitch effect into the track, right click it and group it, and the copy paste more chains selection the source note and destination pitch. It takes two minutes with a bit of practice." I'm with you here up until "copy paste more chains selection...", then I don't see how. Your technique seems just what I need, and thank you for posting this. Can you suggest another clear tutorial or any other resource for doing this thing?

[@loopop]

mandolier I’m sorry I tried to make it as clear as possible and can’t post another tutorial about the same thing. I recommend reading up on groups/racks in the manual or watching tutorials. It’s a concept that takes getting used to

[@mandolier]

@@loopop Again, thank you for this post. I've done so many searches that it's unclear, but will credit YOU for turning me on to the Toontrack's Tap2Find. It is ESSENTIAL to matching beats to what's imagined, and woefully absent from any other application as far as I know. The key to this MIDI Effect Rack process, as far as I can tell, is duplicating slots in the track and then deleting all but one note (or voice, or instrument) from each duplicate, so that the remaining note can be transposed. One clue to this can be found in this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hoOvp4JpbMusnJY. (Beware that the Hi-Hat which Dubspot uses in this example is almost inaudible.) I have not found this explained ANYWHERE else. My own remaining concern is because I'm using Live 10 Lite, I suppose. I can play each of these individual, transposed slots to my DrumBrute, but haven't yet been able to play all of the transposed slots together at one time. It seems that Lite might not support playing to an external sound module such as DrumBrute (unless it's looped back to an input(?!)) Maybe this is a grouping issue. I find Ableton's manual unhelpful, frankly.

[@mandolier]

I was wrong about duplicating clips and deleting notes. Live's Group function isn't necessary. As you implied, each key/note in a clip gets transposed - by its own Pitch device. Additionally however, each Pitch device's effect is limited to its (exclusive) key/note by its Chain Key Zone. I did find two helpful sections in Ableton's manual after all: 18.4 Chain List and 18.5.2 Key Zones. This works fine in Live 10 Lite as well.

[@loopop]

It's really each, you just "fold" the Toontrack MIDI like I did. Copy the clip to a new MIDI track. Send its out to the octatrack. Now use the computer keyboard to play the different notes, and transpose the pitch up and down with the arrow keys (after you select it) until you hit the right destination note for every source note. Hopefully I explained it OK...

And of course, after publicly asking for help ... I just figured it out! :) The problem was that I was using the VST instrument from Overbridge (which really should work), and a Midi Out generator/channel is what you want.
