On the Ergonomic and Classic layouts, the hi hats are moved one row lower. When a kit has 3 or more toms, they will be grouped together on the second row from the top. Not compatible BeatMaker 3, iMPC 2 or Numbered Files. In a case where Kit Maker only has one Kick sample left to use, for instance, it will be applied to the Kick pad with the brighter label.Īutomatically puts the primary closed Hi hat and Primary open Hi Hat in the same choke group. When making Sample Pack kits, the same rule applies the brighter pad will always be assigned first. The brighter pad label indicates the first sample (“Kick 1” in this case). In a Maschine kit, for example, there are often multiples of the same sample type, such as “Kick 1” and “Kick 2”. When making a layout, it can help to visualize where your main samples will be.īrighter labels indicate pads that take priority. These happen to be the most important drum sounds. These also show up as orange in the Sample Pack pad layout. There can be a lot if variation in the types of samples that comprise each Maschine kit, but the primary pads are almost always the same throughout (two snares, two kicks and a closed hi hat). Pads labeled in orange are the primary pads. Press the Save button and Kit Maker will retain your Custom pad layout for future use. wav files.Ĭhoose a provided pad layout from the drop down, or drag and swap pad positions to create your own layout. But keep in mind that certain software (Akai, for example) only accept. Play around with different combinations of samples and options to see what works best for you! See the Sample Pack Options section (lower in the manual) for more options on using Sample Packs. But if there are extra Misc samples available, they will fill in the blanks. For example, if the first-generated kits use up all the hi-hat samples, these pads will end up being empty in later kits. In addition to filling the original “Misc” labeled pads, left-over Misc samples will fill in otherwise empty pads. Tip: If your kits are ending up with too many empty pads, add more samples to the Misc folder. Because there are an unlimited combination of samples a Sample Pack may contain, it is often the case that many of the later kits will not have the exact balance of samples to make full kits. Kit Maker will continue making kits until there are no samples left. Kits generated later in the process may have empty pads, as the available number of samples becomes less (ie the kick samples have all been used in earlier kits and there are no kick samples left). If there are no samples left of an individual pad’s category, other samples may be placed on that pad, as explained above. Samples will be placed on pads if the samples of that sound category are available. Turning the option off results in less pads per kit it only fills pads when samples of that pad category are available
