Where can i find that pulse sample to practice with please? OR a very similar one?
The sample i’m using sounds like its speeding up
Yea he does sound like Coach Mcguirk!! LMAO!
Ok thanks bud, I’ll have a look at the manual. By the way, didn’t you discover DNA?
Hahahaha… are you H. Jon Benjamin, you sound exactly like Coach McGuirk! Lol.
If you read the Nexus manual they have instructions on how create this sound.
Just go into the mod menu and choose one of the portamento types.
He’s using four different midi tracks to activate the drums. Say you 808 kit in track 1, make 3 more midi tracks, under “IN, AUTO, OFF” you can choose the output, choose 1-808 Kit. Under that you have to choose the output channel, pick the first for one that way it can output all the sounds the drums has. Do this for all the midi tracks you want, and use each track for a specific drum, ie. track 1 bass drum, track 2: snare… It can be confusing but its simple once you get it.
cool sound that makes
glide? should be in practically any synth
i really like your sound! but the download link doesn’t work… can someone help me??
thanks
I like this technique, but am I right in saying the glide function only appears in Simpler? i.e. I can’y achieve this in a midi clip with say, Nexus, right?

Good tutorial, and thanks for showing another option for software, LMMS sucks so I’m torrenting Ableton now.
the first 15 seconds sound fukin crzyyyy……
Hey dude, what a great tutorial!!! Many thanks for this very usefull information, I’ve been looking at how to do this sort of transition between notes and now I know!!! Brilliant, you’ve made my day! Cheers.
Both Reason and Live are great tools and you can do more or less anything you can imagine in either one ( except record audio in Reason ). I also know abunch of people who use both together via Rewire with great results.

Im using Drum Racks. One of the features of the Drum Rack is that it has a built in “Rack Mixer”. It basically allows you to mix elements in a Drum Rack using a Session View mixing style. You can unfold the rack mixer by clickin the unfold triangle on the Track Header that the rum Rack is in.

Well i would suggest Reason and abelton really , both great programs, however i use reason mostly and i like it alot , it gives you alot more freedom to do what ever you want but both great programs :)
Reason is a toy compared to AL8
Fl Studio 9!!!
Ableton
I use both ..
Im pretty new to all of this but ive tried reason before..
The this is you can “ReWire” Reason into Ableton so that you can use both
Do you suggest Reason or Ableton Live 8?
i dont like Garageband ( mac user)
and i really wanna learn how to make my own music.
So it’d really be neat !
which one ?
its seems to me most builds are chromatic.
in the video he’s using all midi channels, not samples, thats the difference i think.
if you want to have multiple samples on the same channel, try a drum rack. however theres no time streching when using samples
@fermixx
K i got that worked out. But i don’t get the same as in the video. How to do that?
