I don't get it.

Did you build a step-sequencer for drums in live?

There's a Microdrum demo in our audio player.

I don't get it.

Did you build a step-sequencer for drums in live?

YES! 16 entire steps with velocity sensitivity!

I triple dog bump you!!!

Thanks Mike!

Holy crap! you guys really knocked me dead on this one! A friggin step sequencer made out of racks!!??

And the interface is so simple and intuitive. this thing is unbelievable! I tried to figure out how it's working but there are too many layers. Care to give us some hints? I can see that the arp is involved.

[micah frank]

haha. yes.....

lots of arps. here's a hint: if you combine pitch, chord and arp (i think in that order) you can program it so that only one note in your arp sequence actually hits a range above C-1. So there are constant 16th notes happening, but only one of them surfaces above C-1.

Hello!

I think that I have a problem with Microdrum. I am trying to modificate the steps in a groove preset, but I cannot do it, because the knobs that isn't functions in the preset cannot be modificated (it shows a value of 100, but the knob is black, without the orange colour, and I move the knob, but it has no effect). I don't know if you understand what I say, but what is wrong?

Thank you.

[Fer]

I forgot to say that I can edit the knobs of the macro of the steps before the playing of the clip. But when I play the clip, I cannot use some controls. Why??

[Beatport]

check the automation. i know there's 2 modes for microdrum. one is just a playback mode for the presets while the other lets you edit all the steps. i'm unsure which is which but i think the instructions explain it.
