How To Chop Drum Breaks Automatically
How This Works
We made a pair of Ableton devices that automatically cuts up drum breaks and glitches them out using stock Ableton 11 devices.
Basically whats happening is you put the Simpler device into slicing mode and chop a warped beat. You can also use transient mode, which sometimes works better.
This lets you trigger slices of the beat via MIDI notes and play them with a keyboard or pad controller.
Except instead doing that, your going to trigger the Simpler device with and arpeggiator, then use the Random MIDI devices to make the note skip around.
You can of course manually chop the beat up beyond that or simply record the output of the Autochopper devices and move on to other things!
