Pablo Caputto Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 Hi! Im from Argentina! I just want to know what is the best drum machine to compose for you ? Ultrabeat is good but i hate the display.. Should I back to battery 4? Another one? What do you think about using live loops to compose? Which is the best, easily and efficient vst? Thanks!

Atlas007 Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 IMHO, the new DMD is pretty decent. Ultrabeat is still a useful beast as I know it pretty well and has quite handy features. Live Loops are an interesting approach to compose and experiment. However being from an old school, I cannot rely only on that as I'm not an à la DJ style composer... The best plugins are usually the ones you master. AFAIK, they all have their limits and quirks. I like the Korg's legacy quite a bit as they sound pretty close to their original gears. The AAS (Applied Acoustic System) are also really great and their CPU footprint are very light. Of course you have the big guns like Spectrasonics (Omnisphere, Keyscape, Trilian and Stylus RMX) which are simply superb sound-wise. Native Instrument also offer a slew of great synths. There are so many nowadays, its is almost indecent if I compare to what was available when I was young, where you could hardly afford one gear and be stuck with it for the better or the worse. Anyhow, that's another ("getting-old") story... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Nahmani Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 Hi back at you! I feel like Drum Machine Designer is now pretty good. It's basically a grid of cells that can each trigger a drum sound created by any software instrument you want, by default either a drum synth (built upon the Ultrabeat synth engine, albeit with a newer, simplified interface), or a sampler to playback your favorite sample. Best of both worlds! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JakobP Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 Using Step Sequencer with Drum Machine Designer is really great for this I think... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fisherking Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 the DMD is amazing; i spent so much time setting up some other drum sources, with multiple outs, in my primary template... then added the DMD, and now have enough drum sounds to overwhelm any other sound in a song... as it should be.
