Getting Started
Drumbot is an online drum machine, which allows you to quickly slap together a drum track using drum loop samples that will work together in any sequence.
Labeling Scheme
in = intro
vs = verse
ch = chorus
br = bridge
bu = build
cr = crash
ou = outro (ending)
Schemes may be inter-mixed. For example:
vs.cr.1 = verse crash #1
ch.bu.3 = chorus build #3
All the loaded drum loops are part of the same "song," hence, you can arrange the loops in any order. |

Features
DRAG AND DROP
To add a drum loop to the timeline, simply drag and drop a loop into the timeline at the location you want it.
To remove a block from the timeline, drag the unwanted block out of the timeline.
OPEN
Allows you to open an existing Drumbot Loop Set. Drumbot Loop Sets are text-based XML files that contain information about the arrangement of loops on the timeline.
SAVE
Saves the current state of the timeline so you can continue working on the set at a later time, or make different versions based on your needs.
EXPORT WAV
Allows you to save the track as a stereo WAV file for usage in another audio editing program such as
Pro Tools, Garage Band, Logic, etc.
PREVIEW LOOP
The mini play buttons allow you to preview a drum loop before adding it to the timeline. The preview can loop continuously if the "Loop Preview" button is checked. |
