What are you using for your Drums?

A sampler? Drumsynth? Drumachine + Sampler? Drag & Drop in DAW arrangement sample?

After trying out Nerve from XFer I see that its sound engine is unique and gave me the feel of switching drums and using different ones from my favorites using the internal sequencer. No this sin't placebo so dont come with me with that crap, each software has its own DSP code and behaves differently I'm sure you already know.

Since I dont have 200$ laying around or half of that for used on KVR, I'm sticking with a bought version of Audio Realism ADM Drum Machine sampler, its algorithm is different than logic ultra beat which sounds stale with out sampler color that Nerve & ADM bring.

Anyway what are you using for your drums? Battery? Kontakt?

Loops and one-shots, sequenced in the cubase grid. It's terrible but fast.

I use to do that, damn right its fast especially in logic since I work in 96 Khz everything gets converted in a flick of snap from my what would be your pool window, in logic its called media window.

Slapsself...Reason essentials ain't compatible with latest version of High Sierra, figure its ok to update OS with smaller updates but that is also wrong, shite

Sinewave with some native ableton filters,envelope and Osc tweaks. Really all I do now.

Splice as a sample source, and drum rack or sampler(they are the same thing to a degree tho), processing via whatever, but usually Ableton stock things.

I just love gear videos, BBC just did a history of dance music and Roland gear was of course heavily involved

I use Xfer Nerve. I like Wave Alchemy samples which I trigger with Nerve.

Just picked up Kick 2 at 40% off. Didn't really need this one but when I demoed it I really liked the clickable waveform interface. Made pitch modulation editing a breeze.

Hmmm, a guy on reddit was raving about the Novation Circuit and honestly I hadn't heard it before.

Just looked it up and it seems it might finally pry my Electribe from my hands....

It gets great reviews - Anyone tried one?

its been on my radar for a while, waiting for a sale. right now the circuit mono synth is on sale for 299 usd on the focusrite site but id rather an arturia machine plus the og circuit. no way these things will last you as long as an electribe, but they look fun as shit. Those plastic encoders on top are known to snap, you gotta be somewhat careful; and dont be too surprised if it suddenly bricks itself out of nowhere, but I think they have good warranty/support at least.
