ROB WARMOWSKI: It's the nice thing about Mulch 2 and also it isn't particular to many modular audio applications. It allows you to sort of keep ideas at arms' length until they --it allows you to put in more ideas than you end up using and it doesn't really interrupt your workflow too much because the controls are available for you to fix whatever change of heart -- fix the problem that becomes apparent when you have a change of heart. So maybe we'll just leave that in and adjust like flavor.

Now, I'd like to add some hats type sounds, and in fact I've got some hats so what we're going to do now is I think we're going to change from using loop players as our sources and instead we're going to add a drum machine, and that's in Audiomulch the contraption is called Drums and here it is. It has mono outs and just for giggles let's fake stereo that. Let's bring it up to 7 and 8, and we look at -- We'll call this "Hats, Etc." because I'm sure we're going to put some hats in here but we may put some other stuff too. Don't forget to bring up the main volume on contraptions when you create the menu, and what we have here is a drum sequencer that has five channels, and we simply assign samples to the individual channels, so we got to hats here, we can sample some hats, sample some samples as it were.

[ROB WARMOWSKI GOING THROUGH A SELECTION OF HI-HATS]

Looking for some single hits I guess. All right, we'll get that, and we'll get another open hat, half closed. All right. Let's start painting in some notes.

[ROB WARMOWSKI CREATES HI-HAT PATTERN ON DRUMS CONTRAPTION]

Maybe a pattern like this. Of course we're not hearing anything because the individual channels on the drum machine or the Drums contraption haven’t been turned on or rather been turned up from nothing. So here comes the hats, now we've got some hat and let's bring in the open.

[ROB WARMOWSKI TURNING UP VOLUME ON HI-HATS ON DRUMS CONTRAPTION]

Now that really did something. I really like the way that the open hat slides right into the snare. It is a kind of timing kismet if you will that I really enjoy listening to.

[ROB WARMOWSKI PLAYING AUDIOMULCH PROJECT]

We've got a basic loop here, and if we want to create different variations on this loop, what we can do is we can create different presets that just play with relative levels of each of the contraptions that are being fed in: the floor tom loop, the snare sample, the slow multiple snare sample, and the hats coming out of the drum machine. So, one thing we'll do right now is we'll create a preset and that's just like I'm clicking the ellipsis here and just selecting -- or right-clicking rather into the one slot and telling it to store, and what that did is it created a preset #1 in which all of this is being remembered. That leaves us free to experiment with the mix.
