This pack has over 90mb worth of samples from the Elektron MachineDrum SPS-1uw and comes with three different racks inspired by the SPS-1 layout.

• v1 - Light on CPU
  v2 - More knobs, more fx harder on CPU
  v3 - Similar to v1 with a slightly different layout.

Only three "kits" have been made... its up to you to make your own kits. There is a folder in the project called "MachineDrum SPS-1uw Samples" where you will find the rest of the SPS samples.

It would be cool to see everyone repost the kits they've back in this thread.

After some requests on my site I also made this GM version of this rack to comply with the GM standard.

Thanks man, these are heavy

My pleasure... please exploit the hell out of em! It would be great to hear what you create out of em too. Peace

I'm all over this.

Anyone come up with some good kits yet for this pack yet? Would love to hear em!

What do you all (who downloaded) feel are the strong points for this one? and the weak? What samples would you have liked to hear more of? Less of? Differences in rack layout?

Peace!

i just downloaded this and was playing around. these are great - thanks for taking the time to sample such a cool machine and create these.

the only thing i would change (and probably will as i tweak these rack would be to do it in more of a GM format (kik, snr, HH) but i already have a rack of simpler's mapped out this way so i'll probably just drop the samples into those. the only downfall is that i'll lose all your cool FX racks.

tip - you know that simpler plays back at normal pitch at C3 and i noticed you put a pitch plug in to adjust for that. if you head over to thecovertoperator's they made a nifty midi rack called "fixed at C3" that you can just drop in in place of the pitch plug that will route the note correctly. saves the hassle of having to adjust the pitch plug.

that said - these racks rock! thank you so much for taking the time to create and share these with us.

I did think about this... and you're probably right. Maybe I'll make a GM version soon. I don't have/use a keyboard so what I did with these ones is make em match the notes on my MachineDrum so i can trigger each chain with it "respective" button off the MD. Off course those can be changed easily on the MD to match the GM standard too. So either way, GM'ing these bitches makes good sense.

Thanks for the tip! Those Coverts are sneaky dudes!

Thanks man... my pleasure!

Actually while writing this response I've made a GM adapted version which utilizes the CO's "fixed at C3" rack. Hope the don't mind...

Everyone can find the adaption HERE Named "MachineDrum SPS-1uw v1 Adaption"

Cheers!

sweet. thanks so much - i totally was not expecting you to adapt it to GM but am very appreciative.

makes sense that you made it the way you did - to be used with your machine drum (and since you don't have a keyboard. for me my fingers naturally go to the "GM" specification to bang out drums on my keyboard. thats probably why i don't really use impulse that much and when i do i use the pitch plug to remap impulse to GM.

didn't have much of a chance to play today but am looking even more forward to playing with this cool little machinedrum rack now.

Thanks Again!

Hehe... I didn't really mean to make an adaption so quickly but I got to playing around with the idea and the "fixed at c3" thing and I was nearly there so I thought "just complete it". I've actually remapped my Machinedrum now to use the GM standard so it works strait across with this rack. You may have noticed this adaption is not "exact" GM I've moved the toms for example all down to be on three consecutive white keys, rather than using low tom 1 & 2 and mid 1 & 2 and so on. I've also done some other stuff like move the cowbell to the "pedal hat" slot (since the MD doesn't have "pedal hat" and then worked the M1-4 into the empty slots since those are misc anyway. But all the regulars are whee they should be. I think... ?

Also don't know if you've noticed but the .../Library/Presets/MIDIEffects/MIDIEffectRack/Tools/ (should be in the bundle Ableton Library) there are some racks called "GM to Impulse Remapper.adg" Maybe this would open the doors to Impulse for you? Its actually very similar to the "fixed at c3" thing; combo of scale and pitch plugs in a rack.
