Computer Drum Machine???

[carbonscoring]

Does anyone know of any software that allows you to record drum beats say to CW Sonar or Acid? Im looking to not only just be able to program a beat but, maybe also have it be real time. Such as many keyboards do. Maybe having them assigned to the keyboard. K = Kick Drum, C = Cymbal.


Just curious

Try Algorythm at www.spacetimefoam.com. It doesn't do exactly what you want, but programming drums on it is easy, and the WAV tracks can be imported into your mixing software.

If you have drum samples , you can record drum parts with Acid.....

Fruity Loops is good also...

I use SONAR's native MIDI into Gigasampler. Works very well, provided you spend the time (or money) finding good samples for it. You could also use a cheap SF2 hardware sampler such as SB Live with SoundFonts. Though, with SB Live, timing is a HUGE problem (MIDI latency with SB Live drivers, for some reason, is enormous and MIDI is always slightly out of sync. Argh. That's why I switched to Gigasampler).

I found it frustrating having to import drum tracks from other programs as digital audio because this it becomes extremely annoying to add slight variations.
