There are also tons of preset rhythms, and a Scramble button, so if you just want it to make something up for you, it can! The Rhythm page, for example allows you to come up with quick, rhythmic patterns that you can then, through use of the Paint tool, draw in to the existing clip. It’s within these pages that you are able tweak both existing presets, and build your own. It is composed of the Preset Page, Sketch Page, Chords, Voice, Rhythm and Key. Of course, the Harmony Builder is more than just a bunch of presets. I can draw around in the paint brush without thinking about it, and the notes never change. So, I can build up a progression, and then bring it into Liquid Music, and have my robot help me build that progression up with sick, melodic rhythms and octaves.
If the Key layer is locked, none of the chords are changed, period. Once you drop this performance, minus Key, Chords, over yours, Liquid Harmony converts between differences.įor example: If I was playing a progression that is C to Am to D#, to G, Liquid Music does not change the chords, it just changes the Rhythm, if the Rhythm Lock is unselected. However, you can deselect the Key, the Chords played, and even Rhythm, if you want.
WAVEDNA LIQUID RHYTHM REVIEW FULL
Within the Harmony Builder, as I mentioned, there is a massive list of presets that are, in fact, full MIDI performances/MIDI files.
Thankfully, the editing is really sweet with Liquid Harmony, and when you start adding in preset Harmonies from the Harmony Builder, you can quickly build up some sick chord progressions playing parts that are not humanly possible. It just assumes that it’s the same chord, carrying on for several measures. If you’re tie-ing a note from one chord to another, the Wizard does not seem to be able to read the chord changes, from measure to measure. This is odd, considering that drums don’t require this, and slightly annoying, considering that the Import Wizard is not always spot on.
The Import Wizard analyzes a regular MIDI clip/melodic clip and then attempts to import what’s being analyzed over into Liquid Music, from Ableton Live. With the new Liquid Music layer added, there’s an additional component.
When you start adding in preset Harmonies from the Harmony Builder, you can quickly build up some sick chord progressions playing parts that are not humanly possible. When Max for Live Integration is in effect, you need merely select a clip within Ableton, and when using Liquid Rhythm, the drum pattern will automatically appear within Liquid Rhythm/Music and you can begin editing. You can, of course, import your own melodies directly over into your host DAW, but with Ableton, there’s some very special, extra integration, thanks to Max for Live. Let’s take a look at this exciting new direction for WaveDNA, and see just how successful it really is. But now, along with sick beats, Liquid Music can spit out amazing arpeggios, huge chord progressions, and complex melodies that would normally take a while to put together. This logical next step, or optional upgrade, for the WaveDNA family allows one to manipulate basic MIDI clips in a similar fashion to the way Liquid Rhythm works with drum clips, made with the Ableton Drum Racks.
WAVEDNA LIQUID RHYTHM REVIEW UPGRADE
Recently, WaveDNA added an optional upgrade to a new, MIDI editing, best friend to work along side of Liquid Rhythm: Liquid Music. When working through a unique Max to Live Integration, it makes Ableton, suddenly AI based and freakishly awesome at putting out sick beats. Not long ago, I had the chance of not only writing a review of, but also the pleasure of getting to teach a course on Liquid Rhythm-An amazing, MIDI, drum editing application from WaveDNA that can act in standalone, and as a VST/AU plug-in.
