Next, select another clip on the timeline (we’re choosing Bass to start) and locate the Clip View section for the chosen clip. (It might also be named based on the clip you extracted it from).
Now the rhythmic information of your drum pattern will appear as “Groove 1” in the Groove Pool. Simply right click on the MIDI file on your timeline and select “Extract Groove”. It sounds like a rather surgical procedure, but is actually very easy. Once you’ve found a suitable pattern, it’s time to Extract Groove. We’re auditioning a few using the Native Instruments Vintage Drummer instrument. For our example we have Bass, Keys, and Percussion, and we’re looking to add a Drum part.įind a suitable MIDI Sample for the drum pattern. Open an Ableton session with at least a couple tracks. We’ve gotten some pretty jaw dropping results doing just while using MIDI Samples as the source of the Groove. So what does this mean? It means that you can take the swing of a drum pattern, the pocket of a bassline, or the saunter of a soulful key part and, with just a few button presses, lock in the rest an arrangement to the chosen part. For those who aren’t familiar, the Groove Pool allows you to store rhythmic information independently from any assigned pitches or sounds and then apply that rhythmic information to any MIDI or audio clip in a project. This is not the case with MIDI Samples, which come with plenty of groove to go around.Ībleton users might know of a useful section of their DAW known as the Groove Pool. But what sometimes get lost in this process are the subtle imperfections that give an otherwise rigid instrument the feel and vibe of a live performance. This array of tools is an enormous asset to the modern producer, allowing for greater speed and versatility of sound. With all the tools available to music makers at this point, it’s fairly easy to sit down and make a whole song without ever pressing a key on a keyboard or playing a note on a guitar. MIDI Samples are built for those of us looking to imbue our in-the-box productions with an extra human element.
