I don't know if it was posted here. Doug did a video. Sounds really good
I’m loving it! Like all his apps. Nothing to complain, just enjoying the drums and the variety.
iBassist has just been updated to work now with jazz drummer. I’m not a jazz specialist but it sounds really good.
Have only played with it for a short while, only complaint so far is that, once you speed things up (to faster swing and bop tempos, ie >200bpm), there is way too much snare action.
And there really should be some brush sounds in there. I hope @LuisMartinez updates it with at least 1 brush kit.
Thank You @LuisMartinez !
Another fantastic Drum style app to add to the collection. Yours are my favorites.
Thanks, iBassist really turns on the lights here..
not a Jazzist either.. but hitting that ‘create’ button, changing those bass-lines make it VERY interesting... (and, oh, I’ll export that 😁)..
Looking forward to FD export feature..
Thanks @LuisMartinez
It’s really a fantastic app. I love the rhythms.
Presumably all of the swing is baked into the midi it exports? It looks like it is to me, but would someone be able to confirm?
And presumably the swing is sent out when using live midi out too?
Also, it would be really great if the midi out values were expressed in Midi note numbers as well as just in notes. Would save me a lot of time when mapping drums.
Seems the swings are baked into the midi export.. three file are set to 0, -*, +*...
So how does the intensity X-Y export as midi?
It’s a really clever app.
Yup. Got me teetering on the feel-like-a-cheat precipice
Great app. The best from Luis in my opinion. Here a small "electro-Jazz" track (Jazz drummer, Noir, Digistix, Quanta, etc)
My friend, this app is a full on cheat of the best kind. Everything about it is spot on, especially now with the bass integration. Are you gonna get those moments of epiphany as in humans playing jazz? Nope. But dang if this app isn’ta crap ton of fun and inspiring both better chops and creative juices.
.
I’m also tempted as I use Band in a Box on the PC to practise my jazz improv efforts but this does sound more convincing and a bit more random. Just missing a piano or did I see there’s a way of sending the chords out to a piano app? From ibassist?
Watch this video by Doug it could give you some insight
Thanks for posting the video!
Have we talked recently about how nice it would be to have state saving in Lumbeat apps?
Cool!
iBassist as Universal. Please!!!!!!!!!
Loving this app!
The interface is so much easier to read than Soft Drummer (really, I can't read much of the white text on the light gray background in SD). Also the drum sounds are more appealing than SD in my opinion.
What I really enjoy is the XY control for variations, it makes for some realistic rises and falls in intensity and is more useful to me than song mode - I recorded JD straight into MultitrackDAW to make a backing drum track and was blown away when listening back to it! In a 3 minute track there was only one fill that sounded a little off to me, but even that blended into a jam just fine.
Haven't tried export yet, might give it a whirl later. For now though it feels like I'm conducting a live drummer by using the XY controls!
This so far is the feedback that really resonates with me. Thank you, @3sleeves.
I don't suppose you have a recording we could hear?
Any way to get multitrack exports that have X/Y controlled parameters?
@ExAsperis99 Glad my feedback is helpful!
Although this isn't necessarily a jazz tune, I posted this in the MultitrackDAW thread earlier (sorry if this is spammy of me), it's a little jam over one of my recent Jazz Drummer sessions:
I loaded JD as the source, hit play in MTD, switched over to JD then played with the XY for a couple minutes.
This is one of the busier patterns I've made so far that still sounded fairly natural (8/4 with Max, minimal rides and toms). I find that custom patterns with fewer toms and more snares and hats tend to sound more realistic...in my opinion, more like a drummer with chops and less like a sequence of sampled sounds. The toms and rides aren't bad, but they really sound best with Jo in beats with more swing I think.
Still experimenting though.
@AudioGus Not sure about multitrack exports yet, still have to try that. So far I've mainly recorded whole sessions. I imagine there might be a way to do something similar with song mode...not sure if each pattern in a song can have a different swing setting yet. One thing I'm curios to try is using Soft Drummer for rides and toms on top of Jazz Drummer playing the kick, snare, and hats. Potentially that could sound like a huge kit, hopefully the swings don't clash.
That sounds great, man!
You prefer it to Soft Drummer, yes? I think I'm sold.
To funny, I just started using Soft Drummer for rides and toms on top of Egoist beats yesterday.
@ExAsperis99 Thanks! Yeah, I find Jazz Drummer to be more versatile than Soft Drummer personally. Most of my music is created in 4/4 or 8/4 time, Soft Drummer sounds a bit too predictable in those meters for my tastes. Jazz Drummer has more character, hard to articulate it exactly, it just sounds more like a drummer to me.
@AudioGus Nice! Soft Drummer is apparently shaping up to be a decent backup percussionist
The more I play with Jazz Drummer, the more I dig it. In fact, I think I could throw together a little jazz act for very small venues without the hassle of lining up a drummer and bass player. Would take a fair bit of prep time up front, but the results are good enough that I could show myself in public without being embarrassed. That said, I have no clue how I would set up Jazz Drummer and iBassist for a set list.
I assume that I would use song mode as it's the only way to save enough of the "presets" to be useful for different tunes. But, jazz is a little different than pop songs. With pop songs, I could set up full songs by laying out the different parts of the song, hit play, and away we go. With jazz, I might linger on a part for a longer stretch--it's more organic than a 3- or 4-minute song. But, I don't think Jazz Drummer supports the ability to move from part to part manually within a song (even better if I could cycle through the parts using MIDI CCs). Unless I'm missing something?
And finally, I agree with the comment above that the X/Y feature for intensity is brilliant. It could actually be used as a way to go from part to part (along with the switch between ride/hats) but I can't get the MIDI Learn to work at all to see what options are available there. Anyone else get MIDI learn work in Jazz Drummer? It's an insta-crash for me.
Guys is Jazz drummer good for only Jazz style or could i get away using this app for like soft rock songs.
I have been doing the iBassist’s ‘Make Drums Feature’ (with JD) with different genres... say Reggae... Very, very interesting.. It’s like a great jazz drummer bringing his style to a reggae band..
So, I will say, YES.. but deeper..😇
Edit... Much Deeper..
