Maschine Midi Drum Patterns (Maschine MDP) (video bellow)
Maschine MDP was made to put drum patterns creation in hyper speed. It is not like "normal" drum midi loop library, it is more like modular where user combines elements together.
Why like this? If you have 10 drum midi loops you have 10 drum midi loops you can use. If you use 10 midis from this pack to make drums with just 4 elements each (more elements in drums equal more combinations possible but we´ll focus on essential) you can make 210 combinations. Let's say you are extremely picky about drums and you don't like whole 3/4 of results - you will still get 50 good results. That's just from 10 files while in this pack there are almost 1000 which you can combine with each other (not counting combination folder nor half time folder).
It's also unique because to use it in Maschine you don't have to adjust, transpose or anything, just drag to pad which has drum sound on it and that's it. Can be used even if you don't have Maschine, we`ll get into that later.
For all those features its unique product on the market. While it was quite tedious to make it is very easy (and fun) to use.
The midi files were made for creating broken/irregular type of beats in first place, from downtempo, hip-hop, rock, breakbeat, DnB and anything in between (anything that isn't regular 4 to the floor beat). If you make 4 on the floor like House etc this files can still be used for other elements besides kick and snare (hi-hats, percussion), in those music styles you don't actually need midi for kick and snare. If your interest is half-time beats, used in for example trap and genres ending with a "step", we created midis for that too.
All midi files were human made (not software generated) in a very slow time-consuming process.
Despite the name Maschine Midi Drum Patterns, it can be used in other DAWs/samplers in the same or similar way.
Below is the list of all DAWs tested and results. Most work the same way as within Maschine (v2, v1 wasn't tested) ie without any need for "special" settings:
FL studio, Ableton, Cakewalk Sonar, Reaper, MuLab, Bitwig, Studio One.
We couldn't test in more DAWs, so to be sure it will work on your machine please download the demo to test. More details about our tests are in the manual, which is included in the demo also.
To ensure wider compatibility sfz and Kontakt templates are provided, detailed instructions included in pdf.
Initial idea was to be just midi patterns for Maschine but in our latest test we found out that it works in quite similar way in most DAWs. Despite that, we decided to keep our working title "Maschine MDP" though.
Sorry for long text, we wanted to give essential information about it. It aint rocket science to use it, in short 3 words:
just drag and drop.
Video demonstration, recorded live in one go without cuts in PP, longer one but on the other hand we wanted to present video that it is not staged. A little experimental, jumping throughout various extremes of bpm and also regular and half-time drums, using various kits. Even testing how it sounds applied to percussion.
All sounds in the video are from Maschine factory library. Not that we have any affiliation with or endorsement by them, we just wanted to make demonstration video with sounds that anyone having Maschine also have.
We also made video of usage without Maschine (in DAWs)

Like already mentioned, there is a free demo, its heavily stripped version (only 5% of full version) but still contains over 200 MIDI files and all templates too, no license or other differences, we think still usable.
