Hi everyone, I just discovered Reaper. I have been using Ableton Live and really like the Impulse drum machine/sampler it has. It's great that you can drop any sample into it's slots. Could anyone give me some advice as to how to get something similar for Reaper? I like to program my beats in the Piano Roll editor of Live and I'd like to do the same thing in Reaper. So I guess I need to get some kind of VST that is similar in function to Impulse. I just don't know of anything affordable that will achieve the same result.

Thanks Sheppola! I downloaded Addictive Drums demo earlier today. You're right about the sound, it is really good. But I do a lot of synth drums too. What is the drum sample player you're talking about?

It's called BigBadaBom, These files contain it plus some free samples, You can get free drum samples all over net and load your own in :)

Excellent! :) For further useability, create eight track outs and then put all tracks inside a folder track (I named mine "ReaDrums Rack"). You can then save that as a track template as well, and you'll have all your individual pad processing possibilities taken care of.

Unfortunately you can't collaplse them in the Mixer view (yet). To make a folder just put an empty track above the others and change its symbol to a folder. Then go to the last track and change its symbol to an "end folder" - voila! Now it's just a matter of routing the samplers to each output track...once you wrap your head around it it's very logical. HTH

You can collapse them in the arrangement, but not in the mixer.

+1 for Poise too. I am a happy user of this excelent software.
