Mangle, Destroy, & Crush Beats with DrumK for Max for Live

Apr 10

Take Glitch to the Next Level using Max for Live.

K Devices has released a really fun device for Max for Live, DrumK. DrumK is designed for "beat oriented madness." Think of it sort of like Buffer Shuffler on steroids. It's a super powerful device that you drop samples in and start smashing your beats. Pretty much every parameter can be automated and different presets can be saved and instantly recalled. I've had some time to mess around with it and can recommend it to you. Below are some videos that will help you understand how it works, but first let me show you this one with the Lemur. If you have an iPad, this free Lemur template is amazing! I supplied some drum loops for video, using my Super Tape Drums Ableton Pack. Check it out:

DrumK is a a lot fun, be sure to check it out. You will need Max for Live to use this. Compatible with Ableton Live 8 and 9. K Devices is offering a special for DrumK and the Human Manual. Basically you get the DrumK and 1 hour of one on one training for 49 Pounds (not really sure about the dollar amount there). If you pick up Drumk let me know what you think. If you opt for the "Human Manual" let us know if it is worth our while! Enjoy!
