I am trying to decide whether or not to sell some modules that are usually associated with percussion/drums in rack (Squid Salmple, Akemie’s Taiko, Varigate 8, Stolperbeats) because I feel like they are taking up space that could be better utilized.
I have another case they could go into but I keep coming back to the nagging thought that in-rack drums are never going to be what I want them to be. I generally prefer programming drums in Ableton because I can get to a level of complexity that is much higher, more quickly than with in-rack sequencers. Trying to do Aphex/Squarepusher style stuff just seems super cumbersome in the rack and I don’t know if there is any way to get around that.
I’d love to hear your thoughts and experiences with either removing drums from your rack, or if you got them to work with your setup, what were the factors that helped there?
