Hi people,
thanks to this community I had my first electro gig with PD which is now part of my rig.
I'm needing more and more percussive sound, in a minimalistic way. I love very much Alva Noto works, so I'd like to find a drum machine with some preset clicks, pops, sines and so on.
If not does anybody know a good and live-friendly drum machine where I can prepare drum scores and load samples or synthesize clicks, pops, sines and so on?
Thanks

Bump!
What's your favorite drum machine on Pure Data or Linux?

I love Obiwannabe's JazzMan kit ~ http://www.obiwannabe.co.uk/html/toys/jazzman/jazzman.html

Have used it twice in performance, the last being this one:

(for the record, I've only performed to fill "gaps" in things I've done with/for other artists over the past few years, which means that, in the case of the performance in that video, everything was impromptu, therefore almost off-the-shelf~;o).

edit: otherwise, I use whatever comes to hand, including Hydrogen, Buzz Machines, Roland PMA5, or....

it probably depends a lot on what you want to do, if a drummachine is good
(for live use). do you want to prepare a complex drum-score to play along?
or do you want to play/improvise with (simple) patterns? do you want to
program drums on the fly? or use algorithmns to create/manipulate beats?

a simple drumpattern is easiely built in pd: a counter,
a selcect with nr of steps, and the same number of floats
and numbers/toggels/sliders/...
you can create variations by manipulating the counter, or filtering
the outputs by value (using moses), to make the pattern thinner or
richer. (example attached) and assign faders/toggels to a
midi-controller.

there are good pattern-sequencers in rj-lib, and afair in netpd.
i usually use my own in
(http://www.martin-brinkmann.de/mnb_instruments_wip.zip)
for simple drumpatterns and the like.
an example for algorithmic pattern creation is the "can of beats"
rjdj-scene by chris mccormick. or you could do something with
markov-chains, or celluar-automata...

thanks all, well of course I know how to build a basic one, but I was looking for suggestions on the ones you like most. The jazzman is supercool! Thanks mnb I will look into the zip file soon...
