Many thanks in advance!

I think 128's with a quickly accessed sample selector mapped to the Push knobs is probably the best way to quickly browse samples IMO.Citizen wrote:Is simply making loads and loads of 128s the best way, or has someone devised something that is a better way to browse samples using Push?
Many thanks in advance!
I'm at work right now so possibly later if I have some time.Citizen wrote:Airyck, I don't suppose you could post a screen grab of how you set this up?
Yep that's exactly what I'm doingCitizen wrote: As I understand it, you have maybe four pads of kicks (each containing a 128 of kicks), and ditto for snares, hi-hats, then percs?
Is that, generally 4 pads for each of those drum categories? (4 pads of kicks, 4 pads of snares, 4 pads of hi-hats, 4 pads of percs)
...and then you might have a few pages in the drum rack that duplicates this structure with more samples from the same sample pack? Is that it?![]()
Citizen wrote: So, potentially you have several hundred drum samples loaded in each custom drum rack you've built. Does this slow down the system, or take a long time to load?

Also, does this prohibit you from mixing and matching drum sounds from between sample packs?
I do layer drums but I don't worry about doing it from the Push. When I'm in deep sound design mode the mouse and keyboard tend to work better. You could definitely setup a "layering kit" that would allow you to easily layer sounds from the Push, but it's a personal thing on how you like to do it.Citizen wrote: Finally, do you ever layer drums, and if so, is there a way to reasonably control this technique primarily via the hardware using Push?
I get that. Once you build one, play with it for a bit before making more. You'll probably have troubles pulling yourself away to make more.Citizen wrote: Sorry for all the questions, but I want to get this straight before I spend a few nights building up an arsenal of drum racks.
A 128 is a collection of 128 samples distributed evenly across each of the 128 sample selection positions of Ableton's sampler. It allows you to quick flip through a bunch of samples in context by turning a knob rather than loading samples one by one.Analog4Science wrote:what is a 128? sorry i'm not familiar with this slang.

I'm still experimenting, but I'm thinking my default drum rack would have:
* drum selector macros for kicks, snare/claps, hats and percs
* +/- 12 semitones transposition on all drum sounds
* decay parameter
* EQ, compression (and maybe a transient master) per drum pad![]()
Haven't quite worked out the logistics of this, but would such a thing be controllable in Push, diving deeper down in the rack as required?
