Your Favorite Rhythm generation tool for the Virus ? - The Unofficial Access Virus & Virus TI Forum

muziksculp · #1 22.12.2005, 09:42 PM

The Virus is a great synth, and the new TI has amazing sound generation capabilities, but I am not sure it is the best tool to create the rhythm track for a song (i.e. Trance, Techno, Dance, ...etc).

It would be interesting to know what Virus users seem to consider their favorite tool (hardware i.e. Korg EMX-1 or software i.e. Stylus RMX) to create rhythm tracks for the Virus.

Any feedback on this topic ?

Thanks

Stylus rmx has everything you need in a box. Sound quality,flexibility for a bargain price. If you get the xpanders you can create everything you can imagine.

agreed, I find Stylus RMX to be one of my favorite vstis. Be sure to pick up a copy of recycle as well so that you can chop up all of your loops and import them into rmx (if you go with it

)

I'm using dr-880 drum machine for acoustic drums and HPD-15 for ethnic and electro groove altogether the sound is amazing .

I like the simplicity of using a TR707 and using it to trigger other synths also. Thing that baffles me a bit with modern drum machines is that you dont seem to get individual outs these days. Everything just comes out of a stereo pair. Am I right in thinking these devices are just jamming tools....they cant be serious recording tools can they?

DS. I think you will find that you can re-wire up the Virtual Drum software these days into multiple outs in your DAW - so each track can have FX/EQ.

So...most people use software drums these days? I dont like working with software...hell I dont even like working

What hardware alternatives are there these days? Drum machines with individual outs?

Hey Doc, have you used NI's Inktakt?

I have read on another forum that Intakt is similar to ReCycle, maybe easier, maybe a little more feature rich.

I bought Reason almost 2 years ago and hated it so I never got into ReCycle...

Cheers!

Stylus RMX ... definitely!

In the music that streams from my site... you'll hear Groove Agent. Now I've migrated over to Stylus RMX. Far superior to Steinberg's Groove Agent.

If you like, check the new mpc 2500.Superior quality, many outs,2midi IO, but only 16mb onboard ram expandable of course.The perfect hardware companion to the TI IMO.
