You can some VST effects which will do a similar sort of thing, but theyre nearly always random and you wont have any control over when or for how long the "stutters" last. You can try doing it with a delay or if your felling really clever you can program a buffer in Reaktor. But honestly, the best way to do it is in the piano editor. 09-03-2006 00:01 Muad'Dib Andrejnalin Registration Date: 02-12-2003 Posts: 4,197 Helpfulness rating:  Yeah, the piano roll is a VERY MIGHTY TOOL, which will give you unlimited combinations while producing. Just remember to set the level of detail you need when working in it. You should set the SNAP feature, and the Timebase (PPQ) feature which can be found in Options menu -> Project General Settings. __ Thinking about becoming an Image-Line/FL Studio customer?

Thats a good point actually, forgot about that one. If youre using FL. Load up a snare or whatever into a sampler. If you set the range of the arpegiator to 1 and set the speed nice and fast. You'll get fast retriggering from the arp but without the pitch being changed (unless you want it to) The onlt thing with this method is that its a little harder to get filter automation etc. 13-03-2006 23:02 BattleDrone 2161... the future.

But if you want full control you should do it manually. __ Check my soundcloud (exclusive tracks on there) 15-03-2006 00:28 PEAHEAD Wicked Producer Registration Date: 27-07-2005 Posts: 416 Helpfulness rating:  yeah tht looks alrite but i would stil prefer piano roal. lol mabye im boring but hey i can get it to sound just how i want it. i think im gona try tht thing with the arpegiator. see how tht sounds n tht mite be the new way. oh yeah baz it ent blanked out i did it cuz i thaught it mite be. wel thaught i mite get told not to speak like tht on here 15-03-2006 07:46 TechDiff Hetty Jakes Pretentious Cheese Wog Registration Date: 14-06-2005 Posts: 1,028 Helpfulness rating:  quote: Originally posted by BattleDrone Or you get a VST plugin called Glitch and let it do the stuttering for you. Glitch can do much more than just stuttering. But if you want full control you should do it manually. Glitch is cool, it does give you total control if you can be bothered. But its instantly recognisable. Plus it takes a fuck load of effort to programme well. Anyone who's used it will know if you're using it straight away which is a real problem. Kinda defeats the point of "experimental" dance music if everyone knows how youre doing it. I know Ive said already, but Reaktor is the way to go if you want quality edits in your drums. It takes a LLOONNGG time to get to grips with (I think Ive been using it for about 5 years) but its gotta be the most rewarding programme ever made. The best thing though, is that due to the way it works, you can make your own drum mash up tools and it wont sound familiar to anyone. There is no way that it could. The only way it is recognisable is if you hear some mental drum programming which sounds totaly unreal, and you'll go "How the FUCK did they do that??!!?! " and the answer will be, "probably Reaktor" 15-03-2006 12:06 drumnbass.be forum » Production » Software » Fruity Loops - FL Studio » making breaks stutter
