Here’s a quick public demo video of the SP-12 Drum Rack for Ableton Live 10. It’s available for paying members. Earlier I posted an audio file of these (I recorded the sounds from my SP-12), but wanted to make a nice drum rack out of it.
In this Ableton Live 12 video course, Ableton wiz Thomas Cochran walks you through all the important updates and changes to Ableton Live 12, including new plugins, new features, workflow improvements, and much more.

It can excel at anything from gentle corrective tuning to over-the-top vocal synth effects. Then you’ll look at Drum Sampler and see how to play back and adjust the samples in various ways, including via the built-in effects.

Of all the new features in Ableton Live 12, the MIDI Generators are perhaps the most revolutionary, providing the ability to not only transform MIDI notes in unique ways but also generate them, in order to instantly create a multitude of different patterns. This has the potential to radically transform the workflows and compositional processes of everyone from beginners right through to more advanced producers. On this new masterclass from Course Director and Certified Ableton Live Trainer Rob Jones, you’ll learn to fully get to grips with all of the MIDI Generators on offer, as well as acquire a wealth of new techniques and inspiration for how to implement them in your production. The course starts with a few lessons that tackle the general operational features and quirks of these new devices, all of which reside on the generator tab within the MIDI Editor. These aim to teach the basics when it comes to note generation, to help with understanding what they act on and when and how they can be made to create patterns. This leads to the first tool, Rhythm, which is introduced slowly via a demonstration of how very simple drum patterns are made, helping ferment a good knowledge of the main pattern controls on all tools of step length, pattern length and density. Once the basics are out the way, there’s a detailed look at a number of different practical uses of Rhythm, showing different approaches for making interesting percussion grooves, before looking exclusively at velocity handling.
