Program hi-hats with frostwave step sequencer


YouTube Uploaded by thetonewrecker on Mar 7, 2011

"Frostwave step sequencer is hooked up to send midi note and velocity data to an Alesis DM-Pro drum module. I've programmed a patch where all note numbers in the DM-Pro have various high hat and cymbal sounds only rather than full kits of assorted drum sounds.
The top row of sliders are sending a midi note number out based on position and the matching slider below sends a velocity value for that step. You can mute steps (via the buttons at the bottom) if needed, but setting the velocity down to zero is quicker. There is also a few spots showing switching the cycling step length from 4 to 8 steps and back.
This is an easy way to build interesting percussion loops to cut up later that are a bit more varied than the usual Roland xox style grid allows.
I also will run this into Ableton Live to trigger various clips in a track which can yield very interesting results."
