mid samples into the software for building beats. The included drums sound nice, but it’s crucial that Liquid Rhythm lets you integrate sample folders from your desktop to its Library for importing. The program comes with more than 1 GB of drum sample content organized into 12 kits ranging from Acoustic and Rock to Dubstep and Techno. That lets you activate Live clips in Liquid Rhythm, so you can dynamically edit them and switch between different clips all within Liquid Rhythm’s interface.

Ableton Live 9 Suite users can enjoy the coolest setup of all, where Liquid Rhythm not only controls other software instruments, but also integrates Live’s Session clips within its own interface for a better workflow. So, for instance one could fill up the drum tracks with random percussion instruments, completely to be surprised and also use the predestined note overlap, in order not to overload the arrangement.The software works as a standalone mini-DAW (Mac/Win) for MIDI drum trackcreation or as an AU/RTAS/AAX/VST plug-in with three plug-in modes: Stereo is the most basic Multi-output sends up to eight stereo/16 mono channels for separate output processing and the Interplug-in MIDI Routing mode makes Liquid Rhythm into a sequencer-within-a-sequencer that can control the MIDI notes of another VST instrument placed on the same DAW track. Finally the Randomizer makes spontaneous rhythm alterations, for various and connected variations possible with proportional grading. If a variation of basic cuff RNS is to be provided for the B-part of a title, often a shift of the accent in a trace is enough, for example the Snare.

For this a pattern with different accent emphasis can be selected. With the GrooveMover the accents of individual note traces can be redefined very fast individually, or as a multi-selection. Naturally the possibility also exists to edit individual notes. With this direct access not only can you develop well-structured drumbox rhythms terribly fast, these rhythms can also emulate the playing style of genuine musicians. Here one changes the note position before or behind the back beat in the beat – the rhythm “drags” or “presses forward”. A further enhancement is the Humanize function, which provides for temporal finishes. To edit a rhythm track efficiently, Accent Modifiers can be selected, which allows quickly and simultaneously all major upbeats (Up and Down Beats) to be changed within a selections in the dynamic, to obtain the dynamic relationships between them. Finer control lends itself between the categories: Suggested, Similar, Favourites, and the All filter. With the choice of another instrument a suitable selection one bar pattern changes automatically. If one now activates, for instance the Bass drum track, the BeatBuilder shows typical associated patterns, which are inserted by selecting into the track.

In practice one puts on individual tracks for different drum instruments. The right column shows the so-called BeatBuilder or BeatSeeker. In the column on the left is the Media Library with six electronic and four acoustic drum sets in the GM standard, whereby the individual instruments can be varied freely. A typical sequencer representation has the tracks arranged vertically and forms the main area on which the horizontal timeline allows for further pattern development. The work area is divided into a central Arranger, a Media Library, the BeatBuilder / BeatSeeker, and the so-called Molecule Tools. As a user of classical sequencers one gets comfortable immediately. The new interface is easily understood and reminiscent, in its two-dimensionality, of Ableton Live.
