Hi guys,
like everybody of you all I want to learn more and more.
You know, there are a lot of beat machines (SOFTWARE) on the market.
For example :
Battery
GURU
Kinetic
Fruity Loops
.
.
.
.
.
.
and so on....
Which SOFTWARE do you use for your beats/grooves ?
What do you think are the benefits of some of these SOFTWARE ?
Do you all program MIDI patterns or do you use SAMPLES/LOOPS ?
Thank you all !
Greetz
Kilevox
your beat making machines!

i like to go for synthesis. (so no samples with a few exceptions)
you can design the sound exactly like you want it to.
inside the computer i use:
drumatic3 - pure synthesis with a lot envelopes, filters, osc's, noise gen's ; full tweakable with a great sound and .........it's freeware :-)
microtonic - also great sounding (a bit more "digital" than drumatic) and very tweakable + pattern seq.
outside of the box:
clavia nord modular wich gives me the most creative freedom for sounds.
my host is Live (what else?!?!)
for sequencing i like to load my created sounds im my mpc as wav files. this adds swing and a good feeling while programming my beats. better than clickety click with the mouse in my opinion.

midi sequencing - five12 numerology (in it, you can define rhythmic divisions mathematically as ratios which makes polyrhythming a lot less hassle to get your head around, I find. Plus you can easily change groove timings to syncopate to your hearts content)
for the hits themselves I use u-he's magical zebra 2. Great sounding and very easy to use modular soft synth. Lovely!
I use Ableton for hosting and other administrative business.
hope this helps, mark.

machinedrum sps-1 uw. it ownes.
i always use a hybrid of sampling and synthesis. both have their ups and downs for me.
