I've been thinking about drums and how Reason has the option of instrument lanes, and can this be done in Bitwig Studio?

Editing programmed drums can be aided by having a note lane for each voice.

Today's solution is to use a Group Track to hold the Drum Machine and a Note FX Layer to route Instrument Tracks into the Group Track. This feels like a good way to continue. This will hopefully find its way into my next #FSOBW track

I am tediously crafting a #BitwigStudio port of my old #Reason Drum Kits so I can have a particular 'sound'. The exercise is valid in that it is pushing me to concentrate on the mappings of samples, reading the NN-XT sampler settings in Reason and converting these to meaningful information for Bitwig.

There are 9.8k sample files. There are recordings for Room, Close, under the Snare, and Overhead.

I'm building a nifty spreadsheet on #kDrive as a first exercise of working outside of #Google.

And I am listening to #BernardPurdie and #ElvinJones while teasing out the various details.

I am very eager to start programming and making some sounds. #ElectronicMusicProduction

Friends of #ElectronicMusicProduction who like samples, you might be interested to look at Archive.org and a very large collection of #samples from the 90s. Could be good for #BonkWave and #NotBonkWave

It is most reassuring that I have been able to get my workflow back in place for #BitwigStudio for #Linux #ElectronicMusicProduction again.

It's been just over 3 months since I moved away from Windows and there were some moments where overwork at the brewery and holiday business fatigue had me worried that I had might not find my muse again.

I am pleased to report that #weird sounds are again flowing from my fingertips.

Is it #BonkWave or #NotBonkWave - time will tell and I want to finish it first so I don't want to spoil the surprise.
