@andycordy5190 8 ай бұрын

Thank you. Light bulb moment! I've been to Quest for groove on KZfaq and will no doubt be going back, however, the algorithm brought me here this lunchtime and I'm so glad it did. I've seen some phenomenal playing online such as you show in brief. It's phenomenal stuff but I am not interested in being a specialist. I've been managing (since the birth of midi really🤣) with quantize, step mode and a very poor technique in any instrument but I really want to be able to put down something a bit more varied since plodding through anything with a real groove takes me forever. Just getting beyond the idea that one hand will do one thing and the other do something else might seem to you like nothing at all but to me it's like the difference between one finger typing on this tablet compared to my (more or less) competent typing on a conventional qwerty keyboard. I think a personal style is very important and your comments about finding ways to do other things by picking up what you need for your own groove is central to the thinking I always followed.

@TheKitComplete 8 ай бұрын

I'm so glad you found the video helpful! Personally I've always struggled with learning music, it feels like it takes me a lot longer than others. But I've managed to keep on keeping on by making sure I always had fun with it. Even to the point of getting my bachelor of music without being able to play any instruments (something that a lot of people find hard to believe). So as long as you're enjoying the journey, take whatever path works for you

Really though, I think the superior format’s gotta be piano keys, I miss the rompler days where you could get some pretty good sounds in keyboard drumming. I think it would be great if there were drum machines that just had a regular keyboard lol

@TheKitComplete 3 ай бұрын

I wouldn't say any format is better than another. Different but not better, if you know what I mean. But I do get what you mean too. I like the Launchpad x for having more and smaller pads (a bit more keyboard like), and if you're looking for a keyboard the MPC Keys look really cool. At the end of the day the 4x4 pad layout is still what I gravitate towards, and I believe the Maschine has the best pads on the market so I'm happy to stick with it

Yeah so there is the Maschine Plus (bit.ly/2GUM8Gl) along with a few products from the MPC line. These are standalone products so you can use them without a computer, just plugging them into some speakers or headphones. Other than that you'll have to look at products that are meant to be used with drum sticks. Hope that helps

Unrelated to the video but I wish somebody makes a drumpad with real highend,pads, really good sensitivity and so on, but with no internal samples or useless drum kits or loops that nobody will be using but only add to the cost. That would give us a really good pad for working with those drum VSTs, but cheaper since they wouldn't have to pay professional sound people to make those useless and unmusical loops and kits to go into it. There are MIDI keyboards like that so why not drumpads? Or even a full on MIDI electronic drumset? If there are any drumpads or kits like that, somebody please drop the knowledge bomb on me. Or if there are none like that and if you are someone associated with any of those drumpad or electronic drum kits manufacturers, please consider suggesting the idea to your company. Thank you.

@TheKitComplete 2 жыл бұрын

So there is the Akai MPD line, they have pretty good pads and are very affordable. Also you could have a look at the Alesis Samplepad and Samplepad Pro, they do come with internal sounds but are still fairly cheap. There a quite a few options out there, I would suggest looking at a music equipment website like Guitar Center (even if you don't buy from them) and just scrolling through the options they have. Hope that helps

@Eric-dd8bk 2 жыл бұрын

@@TheKitComplete Yeah I'm familiar with them. But I've heard a lot of bad things about Akai's pads and the drumpad has a lot of sounds built into it, so it can be way cheaper without those sounds. You can load samples into the pad anyway so. . It will be best if it has the highest quality pad, sensitivity and build quality without anything else adding to the price.

@TheKitComplete 2 жыл бұрын

So I don't think the Akai pads are as good as the Maschine pads but they are still very good. Definitely good enough. With the Alesis stuff I don't think the internal sounds would make much (or any) difference to the price. You are really paying for the hardware rather than the sounds. But let me know if you find anything you really like so I can check it out

@MilanFourTimesEight Жыл бұрын

The thing is - those samples/drum kits/loops really dont add to the cost

@nachodaisuki91 Жыл бұрын

@@MilanFourTimesEight Really? In the digital keyboard or piano world, what makes up a big portion of the price is the internal sounds. Of course all the functions knobs, sliders the quality of the keys, the materials used do contribute, but the biggest selling point is the internal sounds. Of course I could be wrong, but as far as I know, that is the case with the keys so...
