"Servando is showcasing how he uses Elastic Drums together with a Korg Nano Kontrol 2 Midi Controller. You can do this with the current version of Elastic Drums already, but the upcoming Update will make Midi Learning to do such setups much more easy also. In his setup he basically connected the midi controller to some instrument parameters and to some master effects of the Jam page.

Send Midi notes to Elastic Drums in Modstep via IAA Midi

Published on Sep 26, 2016 Oliver Greschke

"When you use Elastic Drums as IAA Instrument, you have to do nothing to make ED sync correctly, nor to send Midi notes to ED from Modstep. It all works automatically via IAA (Apples Inter-App-Audio technology).
IAA will send sync informations to ED and IAA will also send Midi notes without you having to change anything - neither in Modstep nor in Elastic Drums. Leave ED's midi settings to the default "No port / IAA midi" settings. And just send the correct midi notes from Modstep. Maybe have a look at the scale settings in Modstep. Set them to chromatic, to be able to send every note.
Modstep might behave similar with other apps, that have IAA properly incorporated.
Thanks Modstep and Bill Jobs for the presets ;)"

Elastic Drums - Short LoopSampler demo

Published on Aug 4, 2016 Oliver Greschke

"Here is a short demo of the possibilities the sampler will have, that will be available with an update hopefully in the next month. The sampler will have the standard pitch, reverse options but also a wicket looper function capable of doing sounds similar to a grain sampler.

As you can see there are only 2 channels used. You can switch samples between different patterns and you have lots of parameters again to manipulate the sample / loop"
