MIDI Loops for BASS

Recently I got some MIDI Drum Loops from groovemonkee.com. Are there any sites like this that provide BASS loops? I want to run these through my East West Hard Core Bass plugins.
I am looking but not having much luck so far. Any suggestions are appreciated!

I just don't think like a kick a** bass player yet. I like a lot of audio loops I hear but I like the option of tweaking the lines if I need to when I am working on compositions.
The plugin itself is great. I am very happy with the purchase.
I just am looking for a lot of input when it comes to lines and I don't have a ton of time to sit around creating them.

  • Does anyone use MIDI loops in Logic Pro to compose music?

    Seriously, if anyone out there uses the MIDI loops to compose music in Logic, how the heck do you do it? Especially if you are also using audio loops, it seems almost impossible to me. The chord transpositions that you get from the chord track are not even to the right pitch, and the transposition behavior is different according to whether you drag the loops into the arrange area before or after putting the changes in the Chord track. The signature track is no better, as it doesn't seem to affect audio loops. So how do you get the bass loops etc. to play in the keys you want them to without going through extraordinary contortions? I looked at one of the Logic Pro books, and it said to transpose by using the transpose function in the inspector, but that only lets you transpose by octaves! Do you really go in and edit the loops by hand to transpose each note?
    Any pointers on this would be greatly appreciated.

    Put the mouse pointer on top of the transpose number, which is zero, hold down the left mouse button and drag up or down to transpose by steps. At the beginning of either the getting started or Logic manual there's an explanation of the different types of mouse/key behavior, if you're not used to using Logic it's a good idea to go over these.
    Also, Logic does not always use simplified Mac conventions (thank the stars for that), as a result you have a lot more variety of data input, it varies according to the task at hand.

  • Apple midi loops load incorect channel strip

    when i preview a midi apple loop in the loop browser it sounds fine, but when i drag it onto an inst. channel it loads up all the wrong channel strip info. it will load the Garage band sampler but the correct samples do not load. I have used Redmatica's EXS manager and the Inst. are connected to the correct samples, and still no luck. even if i go into the EXS24 and try to load the Garage band Inst it does nothing (not even a warning saying it cant find samples) it stays unloaded. this has mainly been the drums from jam pack 2. I have reinstalled them twice. initialized my drive and reinstalled everything .
    has anyone experienced something like this?

    Good question with a complex answer. Let's say you have three synths you want to layer together, EXS24, ES1 and ES2. On one of those tracks in your arrange window, drop in your midi arrangement, for this example we'll say it's the EXS24. You'll notice a "plug" on the top right corner of the channel strips. Locate the plug on the EXS 24, click + hold and drag this plug to the ES1. Now repeat the process for the ES1 to the ES2. You have now changed all the instruments together, and they will respond to the the midi input from the base synth, i.e. the EXS 24.
    To make this easier, it may help you to create a new layer in the environment window and then place the channel strips for those instruments on this layer. This will keep things organized for your workflow, but it's entirely optional. Hope this helps. Check out macprovideo.com for more environment + midi tricks.

  • Apple Midi loops... where are they located on my computer?

    Hello -
    I'm wanting to use the Garage Band midi loops in other audio programs. Where can I find them on my computer? I have no problem locating to .aif loops, but the midi loops are very well hidden. Are they even accessible? Any tips, hints?
    thanks,
    Derek

    Are you talking about Photostream or are you just talking about importing your photos to your computer for safe storage? A sync does not do anything with photos in the Camera Roll. Syncing of photos goes in the other direction from the computer to the phone. The act of moving photos from the iPhone is an import, using whatever photo software you have on the computer, such as the Import utility for Windows computers and iPhoto for the Mac.

  • No midi loops

    Here's a problem I've never encountered before. When I open the loops browser on a particular GarageBand document (we'll call it "File1"), none of the midi loops will display (they're either grayed out or not listed). I've tried unchecking the "Keyword browsing: Filter for more relevantt results" box in GarageBand Preferences, but that doesn't help. If I close the file and open a different GarageBand document, the loops browser shows all loops (including midi). Any thoughts on how I might regain access to my midi loops in my "File1" document? Thanks.

    Never mind - problem solved.
    I had my time signature set to 6/8, and I guess there just aren't any loops provided for that rhythm.

  • Midi loops in browser sound different in arrange window controller messages

    I have a problem with controller messages as well with fx
    I audition a midi loop it has FX and then drag it to arrange window
    sounds different, I know of ther is another topic about the FX,
    But as well controller messages not being read right
    say a Timpani loop, foot controller is not reading
    so the timpani roll is gone

    This is not a problem, it's intentional design.
    The preview audio contains reverb for these instruments, because the sound is in context - it let's you hear it how you are typically going to use it, and use can use it as an audio loop without problems.
    When you load it as MIDI, it does not add another reverb to the channel because it assume you are going to use a global reverb, rather than add individual reverbs per channel - this is the generally better way of doing it, and avoids new users having a hundred reverbs on individual channels when they only need one.
    As for articulations switched by MIDI, the preview audio can contain only one sample, but if there are different articulations, they need to be played/switched accordingly.
    It's not a bug, it's the way it works for flexibility in the main. You have to remember, that when stepping up from a entry-level program to a professional one, a lot of hand-holding that the entry level programs do is no longer there, and so you can feel like the pro version is "less good" than the entry one. This is not the case - professional users do not need hand-holding, and that generally gets in the way.

  • Midi loops play tones instead of music

    Hello,
    I am having a problem with my Garageband loops that I can't seem to solve.
    Basically the problem is that when I select a midi loop (The green ones?) I get tones instead of the music. If I preview the loop in the loop browser the music plays fine but when I drop the loop into the arrangement area all I get is tones and chimes.
    I don't have this problem whatsoever with the audio loops (The blue ones?) They play just fine when previewed in the loop browser as well as in the arrangement area.
    I have tried removing and re-installing Garageband, and I have exhaustively searched the web and this forum for a solution to no avail! Any help would be much appreciated!!

    the instruments aren't installed, reinstall GB:

  • MIDI Loops in 10.0.3?

    So I just upgraded to 10.0.3 from Garageband '11 and I'm really wishing I hadn't. One of my biggest problems is the way the loops are set up in the new version. Previously, in '11, you would have the "blue" loops that were audio tracks that you could not edit, but you would also have the "green" MIDI loops that you could go in and edit. I would often use these as a base and create new loops from these old ones. My problem now is, where are the green loops that you can edit? I only see the audio tracks that you cannot edit. Does anyone know if the ones you CAN edit are available with 10.0.3? Hopefully this made sense lol please let me know! it's very frustrating.

    One of my biggest problems is the way the loops are set up in the new version. Previously, in '11, you would have the "blue" loops that were audio tracks that you could not edit, but you would also have the "green" MIDI loops that you could go in and edit.
    Midi Loops are still there.
    Have you set any filters on the Loops browser, so that no all loops are showing?
    Disable the option "Keyword browsing: Filter for more relevant results" in the GarageBand Preferences > Loops  panel.
    Also make sure, that the drop down menu at the top of the Loop Browser is set to "Loops", so you are seeing all collections, and set scale to "Any".
    Do you already have all loop packages installed?
    If you are not sure, try the command "GarageBand > Restore Purchase" from the GarageBAnd menu.

  • Midi loop not sounding same at arrange area

    Hi,
    when I drag a midi loops (green loops) into the arrange area it will not play the same sound........ mean I'm not getting the same effect of the midi loop at the arrange area & I don't want use these loop on audio track. I know if I drag the midi loops into audio track it will create an audio loop sounds same effect what I'm listening at the Loop browser but I want to use these midi loops in there own midi track.
    Please help me guys

    Thanks Jorge for getting back to me.
    I tried what you said and when I do get the first Capital Violin 2 midi loop and turn it to green. There is a slight staccato sound but not much. When I move the modulation wheel and select the first sound in the piano roll, yes I can hear a dramatic staccato sound. But the minuet I get the play head to the front of the loop and play it from start it is gone again. Quite frustrating. I would love to get that energetic Capita F Violin 2 midi sound but it doesn't have the power or anything like what it sounds in the loop browser.
    Any extra tips on how to KEEP the sound after playback would be a great boost to my musical loop understanding.
    But thanks for those suggestions!
    I am using a 49 E keyboard and it has a Pitch Bend Wheel and a Modulation Wheel to the left of the keys. The volume control on the 48 e is all the way up. That is another problem I have is even when I push the volume up high in the arrangewindow more often than naught the loops don't seem strong like they do in the loop browser.
    But again, my main problem is a lack of strong staccato sound.

  • How should I manage lots of MIDI loops?

    Hello,
    I just purchased GrooveMonkee MIDI drum loops, which gave me hundreds of MIDI drum loops.
    I use the Mac's Finder to preview these MIDI loops. When I find the one I want, I drag it into the Arrange window of Logic Express.
    However, Logic assigns the name "Sequence" to every loop, rather than the original file name. So then I get left with lots and lots of regions called "Sequence", and it's hard to know which was which.
    Is there any way to change the name of a MIDI region after it is imported into Logic?
    Would there be a better way for me to manage hundreds of MIDI loops like this? (apart from buying new software drum machines).
    thanx

  • How do you turn third-party midi loops into Apple Loops?

    Does anyone know how to turn third-party midi loops into Apple Loops? I've got hundreds of short midi files that I purchased, and I would like to be able to use them in the loop browser of Logic Studio. I tried some of the obvious ways of doing this, like using Apple Loop Utility, but it doesn't seem to recognize .mid files. Seems like .mid files would be right up its alley, so maybe I'm doing something wrong...

    Yes, have the same problem but with wav loops. i have 75000 wav loops from third part and do not find how to "logicized" it. For the moment i can use them into a project but they are not adapting when i change the bpm of the projetc for exemple.
    If you know the solution i would be rescued

  • Audio Loops vs. Midi Loops

    I am new to Logic Express:
    Can Audio Apple loops be played on the "Apple Loops" tracks? Because as of now, when I just drag the audio loops into the track (and I've checked the instrument/output settings), they don't play. The Midi loops play just fine.
    Right now I can only get audio loops to play for me if I create an "Instrument" track and drop them into there.

    is this under sampling ... if you are using it as a sample, it should be in a sample friendly format: the sample should be dropped in and timesliced to your tempo
    sorry so vague but I am new to this as well

  • Question about Midi loops and Software Instruments

    In past versions of Garage Band, I could take a Midi loop ("the green ones") and drag it onto a track with a different instrument and it would play with that instrument. For example, I could drag a loop of a piano melody onto a guitar track, and the melody would play on the guitar. In '08 though, if I drag the piano melody onto the guitar track, it changes the instrument for that track to the loop's instrument, in this case the piano. Is there any way to switch this function off? I find nothing in the preferences.
    It's getting really annoying constantly dragging out loops and changing instruments to what I intend to have.

    not to dissuade you from trying, you could always find something that i missed, but i did test the modifier keys, none changed anything (and the shiftKey prevented a drag from occurring at all)
    as i recall, no matter what i did, dropping into a blank track changed it, dropping into a track that already had a region in it tossed up a warning dialogBox (i think it allowed you to proceed, automatically create a new track, or cancel the operation)
    this does seem like a behavior that should have a toggle in prefs

  • Using general midi loops in ultrabeat

    I want to keep it SIMPLE. I don't want to hassle with programming drum sequences.
    This is what I want to do, take GENERAL MIDI loops from actual live drum performances into Logic Express 8, use them to trigger hi resolution acoustic drum samples in Ultrabeat to create natural, REAL sounding drum tracks at 24 bit/96 resolution. Here is an example of the type of 3rd party midi loops I would like to use:

  • Converting existing MIDI loops

    Hi,
    I have a bunch of previously acquired and used MIDI loops, which I should like to import and use in GarageBand. When double-clicked, the MIDI loops open in QuickTime, with which I can export to an AIF file - but these are full-lenth, 3-4 minute long AIF sound files repeating the 5-10 second loop over and over.
    How can I reliably extract a single cycle to save as an AIF file and import to GarageBand? Preferably, as I have a boatload of these, I am looking for a utility/script that can do this in batch mode...
    Thanks, Tristan

    Hi,
    ...well, that didn't work either: dragging those files over onto the track portion of the window (either an existing instrument or the empty area) did not turn the cursor into "+"; upon releasing, the files would jump back to the Finder window.
    That got me thinking, that perhaps these were somehow not proper MIDI files (they came from a cross-platform program). Upon opening one of them with QuickTime, I exported it as "Music to Standard MIDI", and that file indeed can be dropped into the track, and creates its "Software instrument" and the full repetitive track. The created file has the type "Midi", creator "????" and UTI "dyn.ah62d4rv4ge8044pe"; and, just changing the type of the original file from "MooV" to "Midi" doesn't make it work.
    From this, I can now indeed cut down to a desired cycle, and save that in GB's library. So, I now do have a method for importing these files:
    (1) Open in QuickTime & export as standard MIDI file.
    (2) Drag to GB's track, cut and save the result.
    (3) Tweak the velocity information, since the setting obtained is disproportionate: the sounds of lesser volume are barely audible.
    (4) Repeat. ...great...
    Well, that answers my original question; thanks for insisting that GB should be able to use the (standard) MIDI files.
