Live on-the-spot improvisation using timpani, Java drum, and an FM8. Everything is controlled in realtime. I’m using a Zendrum LT, a Novation Zero SL with various pedals, and a plastic white 13″ Macbook (with 4GB of RAM). On the software side, it’s all Ableton LIve and various Native Instruments plugins, including two Battery 3 instances and two FM8 instances. I’m trying to show some of the subtlety and breadth of both the Zendrum and the virtual super-instrument that I’ve created. The ideas fall apart too fast and I think I get into distorted noise a bit too much, but who knows. Anyway, download the adjusted MP3 at www.thesixtyone.com (it’s Blue Couch Dog). Only I hear the click.
This is the second part of a little tutorial about creating and processing percussion grooves with samples. For this example I used Cubase 5, Kontakt 3 and as for the samples, the Dhol from “Tonehammer”. Hope you enjoy!

Dubspot Instructor, Michael Hatsis, shows how to create moving percussion sounds and patterns using Ableton’s new Collision Instrument. This technique demonstrates how to use Collision’s MIDI Key tracking and Velocity tracking to drastically alter the sound. Other topics covered include using Ableton’s MIDI devices Random and Velocity. Clip envelopes are shown as well. This is more of an advanced tutorial, but if you have any questions please feel free to ask. Enjoy!
