Yeah, that is what I would do, I am lazy, and hate midi editing with a passion.Lunch Money wrote:The neato thing is that you can be lazy and approximate such sounds, but then TELL people that you meticulously programmed them.pw wrote:But, if you are lazy and want to approximate such sounds, head over to www.smartelectronix.com and download Supertrigger, and all the stuff from Destroy FX.![]()
Man... that sounds right up my alley!!

Ok I know nothing of this type of sound really so this suggestion might totally suck.
Check out this:

I use this one just for adding extra movement/variation to percussion (like hats and such. nothing too out there for me) but at more extreme settings might be very workable for what you are looking.

*This* is purely a Mozart midi plugged into Battery 2. Let your mind run, and you can 'program' beats with any method...

Another cool trick which doesn't necessarily produce the 'same' kind of results, but still produces some damn neat results in the same 'genre' at least, is to use Elevayta's Clone Boy to imprint the sonic character of one track over another.
So, you take a track of beats that syncopates to your main beat, but imprint it with... whatever. Industrial sounds...white noise...crowds...general cacophany, and those things will come in and out of the beat and in and out of pitch as if they were a drum track instead.
Pretty neat.

I should point out that the drums were dr-008 fed through CamelSpace to chop them up and then Lucifered to hell and back.Hunter wrote:Do you mean roughly like this?

You can manually sequence every single hits but I get better results by starting out with a few good homemade loops and chopping/rearranging and doing effects and stutters and reverses. This wouold be easy in acid with chopper thingy. also a tracker does this.

yes @ funkadil, I usually sequence individual hits into short loops and then render those and chop those up with additional individual hits. I never use the chopper though, I just use ctrl+c and ctrl+v alot.
I've gotten really good results using chopper type plug-ins on non-drum things, like arpeggiated chords and vocals and pads and things.
I need to stop being on the internet, these past two days have been disgraceful.
