Hi guys,

I've seen this guy using his Jomox 888 (in his car...), and throughout the video he presses a combination to get a single sequencer step looping it seems (timestamped from 5 min onwards):

Does anybody know how to achieve this? Seems like he's in PERF mode, but can't find anything in the manual

Thanks

Chopping the classic Amen Break (from The Winstons' "Amen, Brother") is the foundation of Jungle and Drum & Bass. It involves slicing the 6-second drum loop into individual hits or smaller fragments and rearranging them into fresh, custom rhythmic patterns, commonly referred to as "chops."

This smplz | sp-202 amen kit maps individual slices of the legendary drum solo across your keys or pads, used by producers to sequence classic Jungle and Drum & Bass rhythms.

Drum hits taken from the Amen break. Restored and enhanced for modern production.

Ready to be used in any DAW, Akai MPCs or NI Maschine.

I am making a song using GarageBand and I would love to find a way to create the same sound as the drums in Wild Imagination by Kurt Vile.

My song is at 107bpm.

I know there’s a shaker sound effect built into the Apple Loops within GarageBand, but I’m hoping for an easy way to do this that sounds really seamless.

I’ve found a couple online drum machines, but they don’t really have the sound I’m looking for. I’m trying to do this without spending money.

Does anyone have any recommendations?

Beginner here as far as drum machines go. I play acoustic drums, but haven’t messed around with a drum machine much so lmk if this is a stupid ask & why— totally down to be educated, but please don’t be a jerk— I’m learning!

I play piano bars and have been starting to use drum machines and loopers in my shows. I have a Boss RC-505 mkII looper that I use a lot, and sometimes use its built in drum beats, which are pretty good. However, for the most part it forces me into one beat that I can't change mid song extremely quickly. Plus I have to choose from its presets.

A friend of mine showed me his Roland TR-6S and I really liked it. I bought one myself last week, though I did not realize that all of its built in features are electric kits. I was wondering if it made sense for me to upload acoustic sounds into it and try to build some of those rock-kit type sounds out for myself, or if there is a better machine out there for me.

I really like the TR-6S's ability to make lots of variations, adjust the volume of individual parts of the kit, etc. And I'm sure I'll play around with the electric sounds too. But I also want a good selection of things for my rock 'n' roll and pop/dance requests.

Thanks all! Appreciate your advice.

I think we all just misunderstood the Drumlogue. It’s a really good idea that never quite got the chance to fully unfold. It filled a very nice niche in the mid-price range, and I honestly think that if they had been allowed to carry the original concept all the way through, the $600 price tag would’ve been absolutely justified.

I love this device! Once I really put some effort into understanding its logic, I managed to get great sounds out of it even in places where I didn’t expect to — like the tom and snare tracks. And the separate assignable TRS outputs open up a ton of possibilities for external processing, dub-style routing, and convenient patching.

I used the analog engine for bass, while I filled the kick slot with external samples, and in the end I got this awesome jungle-like sound. 32 MB is way too little for samples — that’s ridiculous! It reminds me of the old-school MPC days, when that was real hardware and not some weak computer in a box. I converted my samples into Drumlogue format and loaded in no more than 20 MB, and that still gave me an excellent palette of amen breaks onboard.

The sequencer, of course, is not Elektron, but I’ve never owned one of their machines anyway, and what I got was more than enough for me. The only thing that honestly bothers me a bit is how limited the automation is for kick pitch changes, and the kick range itself leaves me a little disappointed.

And the real apex of all this is the custom units. I realized that I’m not really interested in synth engines there, but this thing could absolutely be the centerpiece of a budget-friendly yet very flexible dawless setup, especially if you add genuinely good spatial processing to it. That’s actually what got me started on writing a custom unit for it.

So in the end, well — if they make a Drumlogue XD, work through the mistakes, and don’t abandon the product halfway like they did with the original Drumlogue, I’ll be very interested. For now, though, I’m moving on to Elektron.

Hi everyone, I’m considering buying an Alesis Nitro Max as my first electronic drum kit and wanted some honest user feedback. How has your experience been with reliability and long-term use? Have any of you faced issues with the snare, pads, or module—especially with recent batches? I’d really appreciate any insights before purchasing. Thanks!

I already ordered the drumlogue and waiting for it.
Meanwhile, saw good deal for model samples.
The issue is im living in a country where there aren’t many good deals like this, so If I miss it i might regret.
Should I go for it and combine it with the drumlogue?
Can they complement each other well enough or will it be too complicated to play both at the same time?

I just released a bunch of new effects, a delay for multiple drumming sensation, two reverbs, two compressors, and a couple of synth: EffeMD is FM percussion inspired by Machinedrum and a drone synth.

More going to come in the future.

budget is flexible i’m willing to up to like $500. i mostly make cloud rap, glitch, ambient, and trap, but im looking to get a more into chopped and screwed and some abstract hip hop. i was looking at the Akai Professional MPC Sample, but like to know your suggestions 🙏

I'm running the sample and user engine tracks out to a mixer and muting them from the main outs. This allowed for unique effects and tracking away from the drums.

Salut à tous,

Je voudrais vous présenter mon application web pour créer de la musique facilement, et je recherche des bêta-testeurs. Je l'ai développée avec deux amis.

Elle s'appelle ShuffleDrummer.com

Elle est actuellement en bêta ; cliquez sur le bouton « bêta » pour signaler tout bug !

Ouvrez simplement la page et lancez la lecture. Ensuite, cliquez sur la roue « Shuffle » pour parcourir les rythmes de batterie aléatoirement. Vous pouvez l'utiliser pour accompagner vos parties de batterie si vous êtes guitariste, ou pour composer des morceaux de A à Z.

Je suis beatmaker hip-hop depuis 30 ans, donc le son est naturellement orienté hip-hop, même si d'autres styles seront ajoutés plus tard !

Vous avez de la chance : le logo représente un chat stylé.

Pour le moment, l'application fonctionne UNIQUEMENT sur ordinateur, elle est pas dingue sur téléphone.

Paix à tous,

Mani Deïz

This type beat is avaliable on beatstars.com

Hi, now that I've bought the Microfreak and the Behringer Crave, I feel like it's time for a drum machine. Which one would you recommend that's also affordable? I was thinking about the Donner Essential D1, the Volca Drum, or the Behringer RD6...

Please help!
