I was so incredibly impressed by this software until the moment I realized you can not sequence your own drum beat with this. You need a device like midi drums or a piano midi keyboard and record your work live. I was wondering where the sequencer was through all the tutorials. This is only for actual drummers, not producers who compose their own midi music. What an absolute let down of the worst kind and imposed limitation on today's software technology. =*(

Hey SlabTzu!

Try using the sequencer in your host, usually works great.

i wanna know how MAKE your own beats

[SlabTzu]

@GreatAndWorthy This is not a stand alone program. Something I discovered over 2 years ago. Get off my dick.

How do I switch from stick sounds to brush sounds?

Where do I find marching beats?

[roboticcrawler]

@ElvisBluntman777 you need to use a software like FL studio to make beats of your own

@XLNaudio

So that means you can create your OWN beats, then, right?

[MMRED]

So... I know I'm gonna look like kind of a dumbass for askiing this, since I don't know much about music programming (I'm only just starting to buy software and stuff and I've been looking at and comparing differenet things) but umm... When you say you can "sequence" your own beats that means you can MAKE them YOURSELF and not use a beat somebody else make, by using one of those sequencing softwares you all recomended, right?

Sorry if I look like a dumbass, I'm just trying to get it straight.

@ElvisBluntman777 Get a program like Sibelius and write them in drum notation and export it as midi. Then open addictive drums and import the midi file.

when i use this with fruity loops and want to edit the specific beat it doesnt work,

for example, i select a beat i want from AD, then import it into FL but then if i want to change a bass drum or snare or whatever i go into piano roll, and the whole sequence is equivelant to one note on FL piano roll.

anyone know how i can actually edit a beat???

Hey great tool you got there, I just have a couple of questions, is it possible to make automation for any of the effects and stuff?

And also on the kit page, when you click on the icons, you hear the related sound, but depending where you hit (bottom or top of the icon), you get a different sound, how do I take advantage of that? Say I want to have like a sequence of fast kicks, fading in, kind of like determining a breakdown in a song, what would be the best thing to do?
