my EDM e-drum engine ( -> featuring Volca Beats) providing a fully playable Hihat Engine) [built with Ableton Sampler (or Kontakt)] 🙂👉


Have you ever dreamed of being able to play an analog Drum Synth like Korg Volca Beats or Roland TR-808/909 with a regular open-closed-capable hihat engine? -> This is possible and it is pure e-drum heaven ❗️💙

- Me and my good pal MOSSPRINTEN have sampled the Korg "Volca Beats" with lots of Hat, Kick and Tom round robins in order to maintain the analog sound behavior.

And I can tell you it's a huge difference compared to a Oneshots engine : it's like a real analog instrument - full of liveliness :)

With these Hat samples I've built a 'regular' hihat engine using Ableton Live 'Sampler' (and also NI Kontakt) -> so I can play this fantastic and authentic Volca Beats Hat sound with open-closed patterns just like a regular hihat!

The Pedal 'Chick' is a very short and high-pitched VB Hat sound and we've sampled the Hat open sound at the maximum length available (which suffices for long open notes) so my (main) hihat engine consists of 3 different VB Hat sounds.

Additionaly, I'm playing 2 further VB Hat sounds (one open and one closed) on the right side as X-Hats. And there are 2 further sounds: the "Echolot Clave" (which is based on a 808 Tom) and a Ride Cymbal from Boss DR 110. :)
The short and dry Hat sounds vs. the wet and open ones (and the overall analog sound & feeling) makes this EDM drum sound sooooo lovely.

We've cleaned the Volca Beats (and ths other analog drum Synths) samples from any noise and slightly processed them. The additional 808 Tom sound ("Echolot Clave") was processed with a huge reverb.

Check the original DRUM SYNTH source setup !

BTW, If you would like to play this or a similar analog drum synth e-drum hihat engine : No Problem -> I can build such an engine :)
