hey guys, I was wondering how I could make a drum kit with some operator drum sounds i made? I would like to be able to play each sound I made on my midi keyboard. How can this be done?

1- In *session view*, set up a track with your operator and the pull up the preset want to use for a drum sound.
2- set up a track to "resample" your operator drum sounds.
3- record the individual sounds you'd like to use as drums from operator track to your "resample" track. you can either record the sounds individually as separate clips or you can set the clip to continue recording as you pull up the sounds you'd like to use for your drums.
4- once you're thru recording, regardless of whether you recorded multiple clips or one long one, you'll want to use a digital audio editor (if ya don't have one, audacity or goldwave are two effective and cheap solutions...easy to find from google...Google

) to trim up the samples you've created.
5- once the samples are trimmed up in you DAE, you can import these sounds back into Live for use in Impulse! just drag each new wave/aiff you've created onto one of impulses 6 "pads"...and you're set to be able to trigger your operator drum sounds from Live's impulse instrument.

sounds like a lot of steps, but its really pretty easy once ya know what has to be done -- and this same sort of process can be done with any other kind of sound as well- and you can use this process to get source material for simpler as well...

Live is quite open and flexible- once you know what type of things it's capable of- you can take it from there and have all sorts of fun

You really don't have to go to an audio editor (unles you want to normalize, which might be a good idea). Just create copies of the clips you have recorded and set start-/endpoints for each hit.

route one clip to several operators and filter out the unwanted notes

here's a sloppy version of an operator beat box. it could probably be improved a million times over, but here you go:
