Once upon a time, in the not too distant past, I was building a drum track and decided to use Drum Rack. While programming my beat and tweaking controls I thought, "Man, I wish Simpler had some of those cool random options that Impulse has so I could use them in Drum Rack."

  • i use ableton since live3 and i can tell there were simpler and impulse in live3. ok and now i will watch the tutorial.

  • Holy crap. This is awesome.

  • Drum rack can use 128 x infinity samples actually....

  • This is really clever, great work

  • awesomre, probs the best tut on youtube

  • Whoa, this was pretty cool! Never knew I could do this, thanks for the tutorial and the file.

  • Hey guys I am having an issue ... for some reason every few kicks or hats the sound won't play ... I think it has to do with my number of "random" choices or the scale. .. I did use my own wave samples ... has anyone else had this problem? Any help is much appreciated. . Thanks

  • Simple yet complex; this is genius! Thank you so much for sharing this wisdom!

  • @KaeseAtze where it says 120.0 at top is the bpm and to automate it just click on it and expand your master track and ll get the automation line =)
