AutoBeat
GIVE BEATS A CHANCE
€29.00
A huge beating power in your Live project: AutoBeat is the definitive tool to create, sketch, and/or variate your drum patterns, or melodic contents.
Tons of advanced features, and just few clicks to generate new inspiring loops and beats!
Edit and write your beats, set probabilities for each step and let AutoBeat create variations on the fly for you. Use the advanced random functions to create new rhythms and grooves.
How it works
The device is based on eight 16 steps sequencers. For each step you can define the chance to trigger a MIDI note and its velocity. This creates patterns with continuous changes exactly where you want them! You can set, for example, a 4/4 kick, then add another kick hit on the third 8n at 50% chance. This triggers a new kick note just sometimes.
Each voice has exclusive tools for advanced editing: time resolution, three random functions, offset, loop length and more.
Beside the variations automatically generated on the main pattern, you can also create an alternative pattern via the fill area: then just click the fill button to launch another pattern on the fly.
Being a MIDI device, AutoBeat works with any instrument (not only drums). Furthermore, it has special features optimized for Ableton’s Drum Rack! If this device is used in the same track with a Drum Rack, AutoBeat starts communicating with it getting the drum pads name. Then, editing a drum pad in the Drum Rack, AutoBeat automatically selects that note pads displaying its settings: you will always see the pattern of the pad you are working on.
AutoBeat works great as continuous variations live instrument as well as a smart probabilities writing tool: the store feature allows you to instantly create MIDI clips based on the current pattern with just a click.
Generating patterns, drum beats & fills in Ableton Live has never been so satisfyingly easy…
