Hopefully it's useful to some.... feedback welcome.

Peace,

nice work there!!

Great starter techiques for those dying for them funked out
beats. Also.. your live file is making me think about a little challenge
for those more at home working at 160bpm+

post your most broken de-ranged, re-ranged mangled beat setups
for others to check out different techiques to explore the funky break
method at it's most extreme.

whos up for this?

Yep. That was very helpful.

This is a good start into beat mangling, and addictive fun. And I'll start making my own beats, starting in Reason, and then completing the destruction/creation in Live. Much better than canned loops!

Great tutorial and thank you!

Hey!

Great tutorial!Much more intuitive than just copying parts of a Loop arround.

Thanks for this

Just got a Yamaha DD5 digital drums unit - looks to be perfect to control legato-style breaks... Hit it with sticks and it transmits MIDI. only 4 pads but they're going for $20 on eBay

Wowza man.

This is 90% of what I do day in and day out, but I could never have expressed it as well or as succinctly as you did. Top notch job Fourstones!!!

Yeah, fourstones really hit the nail on the head with this one. Even improved on my technique. I am no longer "legato mode master sensei", I secede the role.

Thanks folks for all the nice words and thoughs, it's interesting to see people's reactions. Let me know if there's another area you think could use this kind of treatment.

Peace,
