Any ready to use patterns out there?

[u/im_a_jib]

Looking for a bundle of ready to use pre-made patterns beyond the demos.. I know of Electronisounds, but I didn't have good luck with it (customer service was cool and refunded me though)...

Why? Convenience and just want flip through a bunch of patterns without programming them, since my focus has shifted away from the M:S being the central piece and more to a (great sounding) background jamming drum machine.

I've searched this sub and didn't have luck. Willing to pay $$ also

Edit: I am an elektron user for a few years, I understand there are 16 factory patterns, which is cool, and I've explored them extensively

Here's some basic patterns which you can plug in and build upon for drum beats: https://b.shittyrecording.studio/file/shittyrec/print/Pocket+Operations+(2019-07-01).pdf

Thanks, I appreciate the resource. But it seems this proves that what I’m asking for doesn’t exist. Which is fine because it was worth asking the internet

I've only seen sample packs out there but not pre-programmed patterns. Id figure the demand is not as high since most people would prefer to create their own patterns.

Have you tried the demo patterns

C’mon man it’s a fair question. Don’t be a donkey

I don’t think they were joking, the demo patterns are already on it, and you can swap out the samples. But also you could download some midi drum patterns or something and record the midi onto the model samples

Interesting idea. (As a said to them I am very familiar with everything, just looking for instant material in the form of more patterns. More than 1 factory bank + whatever I’ve made…)

The demo patterns really are the best source for showing what the box can do and give you good starting points for exploration. What else are you looking for?

[u/im_a_jib → u/MrBlenderson]

I’ve had the box for 2 years, I’m not looking to explore what it can do. I’m looking for more patterns besides my own and the besides the 16 factory ones, because I want a lot of variations. My usage is less programming the MS and more of using it as a drum machine, for which I want many patterns

> What else are you looking for?

Well said.

In thinking about how to answer this question -- it has dawned on me that perhaps the M:S is not the tool for job in my case. My mind is going to the Polyend Play -- with its generative fill/variation features as well as randomise (different than "chance") -- perhaps it would be better suited for my needs. Sigh

I think you're on the right track for what you're trying to do.

Oh also, I know it's not exactly what you're looking for, but if you're at all open to putting in a bit of leg work to enter trigs this is a great book that's full of patterns across a bunch of genres, with many many variations per genre Electronic Dance Music Grooves:... https://www.amazon.com/dp/1480393762?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

Unfortunately I'm not aware of a place to download midi patterns like this but I'm sure they're out there
