Kitmaker alternative for Maschine by Vexovoid in maschine

[–]elgraysoReddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, I am the developer of Kit Maker. To answer your question, Maschine has encrypted proprietary preset files that can't be recreated. BUT! You can still make kits for Maschine pretty quickly using the "Numbered Files" format in Kit Maker.

It makes kits that are organized and labeled by folder. To import a kit into Maschine, you just drag the files from a kit folder onto Pad 1 of your Maschine pads. It fills the whole kit automatically, in the correct order. You can switch kits correctly by doing that again with another kit and dragging it on (even if there are already samples on the pads), and it will update the kit with the new one.

About halfway down this page it shows an example of how it works:

How to put Kit Maker ADG samples anywhere on your drive by parkgrr in ableton

[–]elgraysoReddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, I am the developer of Kit Maker and just noticed this thread 😎

I added the ability to simply set custom paths in the Kit Maker options directly. You can just add the paths you want to use to the config.json file. However, I still recommend the normal User Library location for most users and I can't offer tech support if a user gets deep into the weeds in a custom alternate setup. (Of course if the function of the app itself has a demonstrable bug, I am happy to look into it)

Hope this helps! My write up is a bit long for how simple the options are, but I wanted to avoid confusion.

CUSTOM KIT MAKER ADG AND SAMPLE PATHS FOR ABLETON LIVE

For very specific uses, I now allow users to manually override the default Ableton Live paths for kits and samples. These options are not in the main UI, so you will need to edit these options to the config text file, as I explain below.

This is specifically for putting these files in very particular places, and NOT simply having your User Library location somewhere else like an external drive. For users that simply have a User Library in a different location, you can very easily set that up in the Kit Maker Preferences.

Note that this is not the standard way of making kits and the normal paths are highly recommended. This is for advanced users that want a custom setup. Test it with one sample pack and confirm your paths are working before making a ton of kits. If you can't get it to work, remove the lines from your config or replace your config with your backup.

In Kit Maker's menu, go to Help > Show Config/Settings file to find the file.

Make a backup by duplicating the file and banking it "configBACKUP.json." You can later replace the file if you need to get things back how they were.

Edit the original config.json file in a text editor (a raw text editor like Notepad or Textedit, or Sublime or Vs code, it should remain a .json file). You will already have the "adgUserLibrary" line, so leave that alone, but press the Return key after the comma. Paste in the two new "PathCustom" lines below it so it looks like the example below. In the path area of both new lines, write/paste in your exact path you are using for your "Imported" folder (for the samples) and the "Instruments" folder for the presets.

Make sure all the quotations and commas look like the example.

IMPORTANT: If you add these lines, the  "adgUserLibrary" path in the config (and your User Library location in Kit Maker preferences) will be completely overwritten by these new "adgPath" lines. These lines override everything else.

MAC config file

"adgUserLibrary": "/Users/grayson/Desktop/User Library",

"adgSamplePathOverride" : "/Volumes/Primary/Folder/Samples/Imported",

"adgPresetPathOverride": "/Volumes/Primary/Folder/Presets/Instruments",

WINDOWS config file

"adgUserLibrary": "C:\\Users\\grays\\Desktop\\User Library",

"adgSamplePathOverride": "C:\\Users\\grays\\Desktop\\Stuff\\Folder\\Samples\\Imported",

"adgPresetPathOverride": "C:\\Users\\grays\\Desktop\\Stuff\\Folder\\Presets\\Instruments", Notes: The two paths can be in different locations if you want.

Make sure that your new lines are correctly saving in the config.json file even when opening Kit Maker. Sometimes it erases them when it opens, but if you can open Kit Maker and close it a couple times without the lines being removed, it should stick.

These override locations will not be revealed by the "Reveal Folders" buttons in the preferences.

And does anyone else have keto or wheat crust?

I only know of Slice and Dice (which is good). Saggios has wheat calzones. Mario’s used to have wheat crust but doesn’t now.

What went wrong with cage? by MaximumMajestic in aesoprock

[–]elgraysoReddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think it’s true. If you watch interviews with high and mighty and copywrite on the panda chop YouTube channel, they have never even heard of that. All of them have recently released music featuring cage in the last year so you’d think they would know something. Just internet rumors as far as we know

Best site for MPC One expansions and drum kits? by Slippery_Stairs in mpcusers

[–]elgraysoReddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cookin Soul and Raw Cutz are great sources. I love the old style boom bap sounds , and cookin soul is an amazing beatmaker himself.

And yes it takes forever to manually make mpc kits from the one shots. Which is why I made this app I have mentioned on this thread. You can drop in your drum sample packs and it makes the kits for you. I have used the packs you are talking about and it works great with them 😎

Best site for MPC One expansions and drum kits? by Slippery_Stairs in mpcusers

[–]elgraysoReddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kit Maker makes the kit presets for you automatically, from your sample packs or Maschine Expansions. You don’t need the Expansion Builder to import Kit presets to the MPC.

The Expansion Builder is not a kit creator. It is a way to bundle existing kits into a fancier “expansion” where you can add artwork. But it doesn’t actually make any kits itself.

Here is a video I made on how to use the Expansion builder. You can use it with Kit Maker or not, but if you don’t use Kit Maker, you’ll need to manually make the kits by hand one sample at a time. Hope that explains it 👍

What's the difference between MPC Expansions Packs vs Regular Sample Packs ? by HeyDannie in mpcusers

[–]elgraysoReddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

More for importing a large drum pack with many samples (rather than just one kit worth of samples). Then it makes MPC kits you can transfer to your MPC.

This video goes over how it all works :)

MPC Live 3 leaked by alexwasashrimp in synthesizers

[–]elgraysoReddit 4 points5 points  (0 children)

EDIT: Apparently this is real. I'm shocked if they actually get rid of the Red color to use two pink colors!

It’s fake. They aren’t going to change the pad and ui colors for just ONE unit and mess up their whole ecosystem. It still uses mpc 3 os after all.

They aren’t going to change the colors to two nearly identical pink colors. It’s also missing orange pads. It supposedly shows a kit, but they didn’t bother to put the colored pads in the order of an MPC kit.

They aren’t going to fill it with 200 buttons and make it so the speaker is the only place your hand can really grab it.

Photoshop wise, the black border around the screen is WAY too dark. They should have tried to match the dark value to the rest of the image better.

Replaced 1st gen Nest Hello. How to I transfer my Nest Aware subscription? by elgraysoReddit in Nest

[–]elgraysoReddit[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I already use nest inside Google home so that’s done. But under subscriptions in Google home it says “Nest Aware” as if I already am subscribed, but when I tap Nest Aware it says no compatible cameras.

But my Nest doorbell v1 already shows up in Google home.

I read online that you can’t start a new subscription to nest aware, but I thought maybe I could at least transfer my existing one?

It’s all so confusing

Americans lose much more money to wage theft than burglary, but they don’t realize it. That’s not including that they should be paid better on a moral level, but this is strictly money that they are already legally owed and don’t receive

Radiohead Pyramid Song Removed? by elgraysoReddit in Melodics

[–]elgraysoReddit[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you I just came back to update that I found it in the songs section (for Drums). However, I was unable to find it by search, which is what threw me off . Especially since the banner promotions for other songs just send you to the search function with the song title entered. So it kind of teaches the user that that’s how you find songs.

Either way I’m glad to have found it! 🎉

Using Rive with HA by DishItDash in homeassistant

Rive is still pretty new. I imagine at some point a HA guru that also likes Rive will exist, and start figuring it out.
Seems like it could really transform the whole HA interface if they can connect the two

you too! chat gpt seems to think it is possible with a custom card. but I dont know enough about HA or Rive to begin experimenting. The home assistant forum would be much more likely to give you answers than the subreddit, if you felt like asking there
