All the parameters can be MIDI mapped for mouse-free interaction. If your beat’s still lacking magic, Molecule Tools can add randomisation and dynamic accent/groove functions via the Randomizer, GrooveMover, Accent Mods, BeatForm Palette, BeatForm Tumbler, and BeatForm Shifter. And the Maps present palettes of 256 BeatForms/BarForms, organised by increasing complexity, that may be dragged onto the canvas. The BeatWeaver basically lets you dial in (with a pot) the complexity of each BeatForm, while keeping the others in the measure locked in. Once you’ve selected a ballpark BarForm, you can use the BeatForm Sequencer to add, subtract or replace note clusters in the current measure.ĭelving further into this new mode of beat-making, you can also use the BeatWeaver and circular BarForm/BeatForm Maps to construct beats. The selected instrument type determines the initial palette of suggested BarForms.
When opened as a plug-in, Liquid Rhythm’s Library appears on the left the Arranger, Mixing panel, and Molecule Tools down the centre and the Beat Builder to the right.Īfter loading a kit from the Library, you create beats by clicking on an empty measure on the Arranger canvas and selecting a BarForm from the Beat Builder. The Instrument Editor allows you to create velocity-switched, multi-sampled instruments. Liquid Rhythm is best considered a specialised sequencer for the other drum instruments in your DAW. It’s possible to build kits from scratch using your own drum samples, however don’t expect more than a basic multi-sample player since there are no synthesis functions. The Library also contains 769 loops, which may serve as an easy starting point for beginners.

A mere four drum kits are preloaded (expandable to 12 via free download), built from 200+ instruments comprising velocity switched multi-samples. It’s clear the sample player is not the focus here. Both modes include a built-in drum sample player, but when opened as a Max4Live device it only displays the sequencer, relying on the user to insert a Drum Rack after it to provide sounds - a preferable option for anyone using their own drum kits.
Liquid Rhythm can be invoked as a standalone instrument or DAW plug-in (AU/VST/RTAS).
It’s all based around WaveDNA’s Molecule system, which presents MIDI in a whole new way. WaveDNA’s Liquid Rhythm is a rhythm sequencer that - rather than plotting in individual notes into a piano roll or sequencer - cheats for you and puts in note clusters. Liquid Rhythm breaks beats down to the molecular level for deep-tissue manipulation.Īlthough I’ve developed dexterous finger drumming skills over the years, beat composition tools have become a gateway to more exotic grooves I’d never play habitually. Liquid Rhythm hosted as a Max4Live device inside Ableton Live allowing dynamic editing of Live’s MIDI Clips.
