What Is DRUMR Anyway?
It might seem simple on the surface, but under the hood DRUMR uses Ableton Live’s powerful Rack system giving you the ability to create a practically limitless range of drum and percussion sounds.
Each Macro controls gives you quick access to the most important parameters for sculpting drum sounds.
The DRUMR Rack
8 smart Macro controls make it easy to dial in exactly the drum sound you want.
- Sample Select → select one of the included samples as a starting point
- Sample Position → scan within the selected sample to find a suitable timbre
- Decay → adjust the decay of the drum hit
- Pitch → adjust the pitch of the drum hit
- Hipass → apply a highpass filter in conjunction with the Resonance control to add body to the sound
- Resonance → used to boost frequencies around the Highpass's cutoff, useful for adding body to sounds
- Drive → analog-style distortion to add some crunch
- Volume → control the output level of the sound
