With Native Instruments we’re not just part of the future of sound we’re defining it.

"I don't really understand the purpose of this post"
Me either.
But by being here consistently and buying product since 2002 makes me think I have been "defining" this for a very long time now….:)

Fan made Passion as passionate as I am about Traktor I thought when hearing the insolvency stories I would make a banner to merge the old tagline with the new Branding.
Me neither! And I've been on this train since Komplete 2. whatever year that was!
these sounds are the best Ive ever heard. But even as an owner of Mashine, Ableton Live, Reasons Studios, I have yet to find out how to take advantage of them. Im just listening to individual sounds.. Like woopee! But I aint recording a damned thing. Just searching Youtube videos, where no one is explaining how to get those sounds into Ableton just to play a drum track???? never thought Id say Im starting to regret I bought Complete 13. There is just a slew of drum sounds; I should be off to the races, but Im not. Then you try to talk to support? ..gotta get past that bot who is trying everything in its power to block you from leaving a support ticket. I purchased Mashine 3 and it just poses for pictures sitting in NI Access and does not open; not even with Reaktor.. Im at the end of my rope. All of this music software and no music being made. Thank God Im a musician and can play guitar and piano through Audio..
Just thought I would add; before I discovered NI, Ive made a large number of songs, tracks through Reason and Ableton Live. But I wanted to upgrade my sounds. What I find is nothing! Absolutely nothing can control NI's drums. putting the sounds into a keyboard does nothing for me. I need them sampled into drum pads.. Ive got an Akai drum machine but dont know how to use it yet.. And thats going to take me months to learn. I shouldnt take that kind of an extreme to play NI's drum sounds in a sequencer.
These posts need to probably be in their own thread. There are various types of NI drum libraries. The most common ones are the Abbey Road collection and Studio Drummer which allow you to select a drum configuration and a set of drum patterns which you can import into a DAW such as Ableton as General MIDI tracks which work with most players/DAWs. Others are more specialized such as Session Percussioinist which can generate percussion sequences which can be triggered from a keyboard for example depending on how you trigger it. So you're best bet is to start a new thread and describe how you're trying to use it in order to get some help. In pretty much all cases (other than sample loops) you're going to be dealing with creating MIDI tracks in your DAW that trigger the drum sounds. If your Akai drum machine can send General MIDI sequences there should be a way you can use it to trigger the more common drum libraries like Abbey Road.
