JASON DONNELLY: So here's a better shot of the Odo Synths Dr-Fusion version 2 drum sampler. This is freeware. You got previews...,

...different kits that you can load.

You got amplitude envelope, your attack, decay, sustain, and release. It looks like you've got an octave shifter.

Kind of neat. Independent volumes for each one, panning...,

...some pretty fat kicks in here.

Anyway, that's it. So obviously you don't have to use a MIDI controller in Cubase 4. It's totally a namer of preference. I personally prefer to tap my beats out physically on a controller using my fingers but you could pretty much use any app that can host a VSTi, and again what we used today was the Odo Synths freeware Dr-Fusion 2 drum sampler.

So, this is Jason and you're at Gearwire.Com. I'll see you soon.

I need awesome gear... I'd like a free gear catalog!
My opinion is awesome. I'd like to take a gear survey
