Thanks for this excellent explainer. I just bought this a couple of days ago and your video is the best one I've seen on it so far. I have learned a lot and can now go forward to experiment with confidence.
Is there any way you can tell me why the individual midi notes don't make any sound once they're on a track. I can play the loop and it will make sound and I can convert it to audio, but if I tap on the individual midi note or the piano roll or try adding in a new note there is no sound. This is a complete mystery to me.
Very well explained, thank you sir! Based on your video and playing around in the Drumazon, I can't really see how using the Audio Out differs from using the Bus Send? Both just seem to route through Bus1 or Bus2.
The other idea I will suggest to D16, if they don't want to combine the drum synths, is to perhaps make like a master plugin that one gets if they own two or more of the drum machines that allows you to combine the sounds from both or all three in one plugin. I think that's the best idea they could possibly implement for them. Thoughts anyone?
Hi, thank you for this video is great👍 But I have a question, I bought silver bundle from D16 with all of those drums machines. I need help, is any of you have same problem. I use Presonus Studio one, when I open any of products from D16 is open with massive size. Ok, I change size but unfortunately I can't move it for any place of my monitor. It's stay in one point. When I open first any different vst like Artuia than D16 is ok, do not remember size but I can easily change it and move around. But when I try recording nothing happened. Maybe is stupid but do you have same problem or do you know how to fix it? I will be glad for your help.
I can't figure out how to chain patterns so they play automatically after each other. I instinctively hold Shift and wanted to click on the patterns but doesn't work. Any help?
Anyone got any idea on how to send each instrument (kick, snare) to a seperate channel on Ableton? I go into Output/Audio Outputs setup and set them to seperate channels (output 2,3 etc) but they come through as mono?? Presumably I disable the main output so they dont phase? I've tried assigning the FX buses to the main as well but all the levels are wrong and it sounds rubbish, nothing like when everything comes through the main output???
On Drumazon 2: Options-> Audio Outputs-> Edit Setup Select the output number on each drumsound and "UNTICK" the "to Bus/ Master" on each so it goes through the separate output and not to Bus or Master. This routing will bypass* the fx busses but not the ones per sound "filter, eq and comp". (in Ableton LIve create audio track for each and audio from Drumazon outputs 2-16 cause 1 is the track with Drumazon 2 in it) *NOTE: This routing will BYPASS the 2 busses and master so You don't use those at all.
The other thing I don't like is I can't see a way to audition the drums without disengaging the sequencer mode completely every time you want to do that. No drum pads in other words. That's kind of a major suckage point to me. A really big one.
no offense, but d16 needs to put out a very detailed level of tutorial for a plug this deep. Like Dan Worrell deep. its actually kind of amazing they did such a great job, got i out on 9/09 and then a mega fail on videos. they need to take some lessons from cableguys. this guy does do a decent job and it looks a 3rd party type review, but clearly hes not 100% checked out on the plug but gives it a decent overview
There's a lot missing here and in the manual. For example I can't see how to copy and paste to make a 16 step pattern expand to 32, usually you can copy the first 16 steps and paste it at step 17, then of course edit steps as you want from 17-32. If anyone knows a way to do this please reply here, I can't work it out.
This is one complex plugin. I have managed to work it all out, EXCEPT the stupid effect bus structure. I'll watch now and fingers crossed it's answered here. I mean they allow choice of 5 busses but I only see 2 and even the bus choice seems backwards to me, I don't understand why send bus 2 fx to bus 1 and so on. Honestly? If Audiorealism drum machine had an AAX, I'd be all over it. It is the same price as one of the D16 plugins, BUT, has ALL the D16 machines modeled and extra on top AND a sample player AND it has the same sequence style page as D16 *or* the traditional 16 steps per single sound input method, i.e. like old school hardware and how I like it. D16 doesn't do this AFAIK. It's probably worth it to just buy the Audiorealism and use it in Blue Cat Patchwork in Pro Tools. The lack of any real effects doesn't bother me as I'd rather do that via multi out in the DAW anyway and it's a lot clearer to me that way, but I think this might be a bit cumbersome with Patchwork so I'll need to try the demo in Pro Tools first. Oh well. Can't win. The D16 ones are overpriced for the content IMO.
I get it now, I wasn't clicking with the word "slot" till I just noticed it on the GUI, I was thinking the numbers were bus numbers LOL. Now it makes sense although I wish say if I assigned to slot 3 that I could choose say 3 and 4 or just 3 and not HAVE to have it go through 3,4,5. Still, it's fairly powerful.

A very useful guide. Cool! 👍

@@gordowebb9910 sorry I know this is late but it's the padlock up at the top to switch between internal and external patterns
Thanks. Another great intro video!

Very helpful. Thanks a lot.
Glad it was helpful!
can get no sound from this plugin on my midi keyboard but if i use the start button i can get sound can you help me with this?
But how to select and change drum samples like if I wanted to replace a snare and put a kick so I can use two kicks?
When is the next part coming out dude?

Thanks for this video. Just wondering if it’s possible to drag the midi patterns from Drumazon into FL’s piano roll?
Great video but the interface in your video looks very blurry on my 24" iMac. The plugin isn't though, when I use it.
Thanks for letting us know, going to look into it for future vids.
How about the fills? Is there a preset or do we have to draw by hand?
Hi, thank you for this video is great👍

is there a possibility to use panorama on the single instruments???
I can't figure out how to chain patterns so they play automatically after each other. I instinctively hold Shift and wanted to click on the patterns but doesn't work. Any help?
Use the key function bottom right assign pattern to a key and switch to external mode draw in the key you selected for the pattern
Why do these guys look more like programmers than musicians hahaha!
I feel attacked

i just use it to trigger a real 909 with it. the note numbers are the same
I'm never ever going to be able to figure out how to record to my DAW - midi or audio. The most complicated drums machine I've ever seen

Hi. Mind you that the guys at D16 are a small company. There are hundreds of youtubers that do a good job on showing you how to use the software.
😀
The usermanual covers it all. d16.pl/manuals
honestly theres really not and its a huge release for them. just doesnt make sense for marketing purposes @@njdpdv

Great interface! BUT: The sound is pure plastic! Maybe good for Hip-Hop, not for real music....
