This is the ultimate tutorial including review and sound estimation. Very helpful, concise and in-depth. Thank you very much, and yes, I would love to have more of these!

[@Woochia]

You're very welcome! I'm looking forward to review more interesting tools and synths, hardware and software. There are very cool pieces of technologie out there :)

[@bionic23]

Very smooth and calm and structured tutorial

[@G-Doggy]

Very comprehensive review. Thank you!

[@antonm_]

Just got this last week. This is perfect timing as I am still trying to wrap my mind around taming it. ☺

[@kevvvvv01]

V good. Thanks. Better than other playbeat tutorials I watched. More practical. Cheers

[@marktwomey5083]

[@bombonmentiroso9833]

Thanks bro, really nice tutorial.

[@cstanleyhns]

Good overview

[@MrTroposphere]

GR8 TUT

[@dmreturns6485]

Excellent tutorial. It is a great product. I'd like it to be able to export the drum samples used in a project for storage or further processing.

[@channelite]

Awesome tutorial! I wish Playbeat could sequence external midi such as the drum rack and hardware midi.

[@tendingtropic7778]

there is no midi export?

[@charlottemcmillan9668]

Excellent video - thanks. I'm wondering how well it works at triggering external drum VIs. I haven't found much info on that.

[@peoplelikefrank]

It‘s in the manual, also some videos explain that. The workflow depends on your DAW and the drum machine.

[@olivernight]

Great vid man. If I have a snare pattern I like but would like to try different snare sounds, how would I do that?

[@Woochia]

Open the preset tab, and you'll see the sound of each track on the right. Drag and drop snare sounds from any preset on your snare track to replace only that. There's also a random button to reroll only that snare sound

[@Ambitiouz_mindset]

Question is the pitch information in the midi export?

[@Woochia]

Good question. I don't think so 🤔 maybe ?

[@davidwitte6466]

would be nice to have midi export and finding sounds is very difficult…would be good to have tagged content or searching for similar sounds.

[@GamingChannel-sk7to]

how do i export a custom beat into my fruity loops?

[@Woochia]

I don't use FL so I don't really know it, but you can't drag and drop the audio loops from the export window?

[@PolymerJones]

can it export stems

[@Woochia]

Yes, either as audio or as midi (though, midi loses some information, like the pitch modulations for example), but I préfère to route each sound to a separate track, so I can mix them independently while keeping the flexibility of the plugin.

[@ritchxmusic]

It doesn't generate midi output to control other instruments?

[@Woochia]

Normally it should 🤔

[@joesweeney6262]

I found the midi and multi track features to be extremely weak. Also no scale support in pitch generation.

[@gordowebb9910]

export midi doesn't work - only audio

[@xyzyzx1253]

With ableton you can convert audio to midi really easily

[@xyzyzx1253]

Just a matter of dragging an audio sample into a midi track and it will extract the midi

[@gordowebb9910]

@@xyzyzx1253 Unfortunately the midi file I end up with is completely different than the audio. Thank you for your imput

[@TeddyBullard]

Again wrong dude

[@JakeyWakey]

do 1 track at a time. still a pain though. also 2 octaves too high for my sampler

[@JonRayRunawayVealMusic]

That’s a lot…. Need some slower daw specific help …logic etc….

[@gordowebb9910]

Unfortunately Playbeat 3 does not work with reaper

[@TeddyBullard]

Not true at all wtf lmao. I literally just used it. Your problem = skill issue

[@TeddyBullard]

@gordowebb9910 false

[@itsrelativ3967]

Worst purchase I've ever made. Wasted 15 on the iOS version. I'll stick to XO and Loopcloud Drum.

[@Woochia]

Really? What didn't you like about it?

[@ArthurKlisiewicz]

dark, unreadable interface, GUI sucks !
