Are lyrics depicting hardcore homosexual BDSM slutty and impure thoughts welcome here, or anywhere?
 
....
 
Maybe my song could go into pornos ...
 
Needed a nap to recoup my focus, now back to trying to create more.

@Bhav...
 
If you want to do pitch stuff to your beats learn how to use the Loop Constructor (which has a slice by slice pitch option).
 
Essentially you'd bounce your AD2 beats to audio files, convert them to Groove Clips, open in Loop Constructor, adjust the transient "slices" as needed then futz with the pitch option on the slices.
 
I have not looked at your thread but I'm guessing you think you can use AD2's kitpeice pitch function to accomplish this. You can't in any reasonable way. That's not what it's meant for. The only way I can think of of the top of my head is to create "one shot" samples adjust the pitch as desired for each sample you create then cobble together those one shots into the desired beats (or import them into a sampler like SD3, DimPro, Cyclone, etc).
 
If that is how you want to roll with things (and the pitch stuff may produce better quality within AD2) there is a feature in AD2 where if you trigger a kit piece via the kit piece GUI AD2 automatically creates a temporary wave file of the hit. A little popup shows up every time you do that in the lower corner of the AD2 GUI that allows you to keep that audio file. If you leave it alone it gets discarded.
 
I forget the EXACT procedure to make that happen but it's in the AD2 manual IIRC.




Oooh thanks!  Useful tips.  Really.  I'm use these now.

Its a bit different with some VSTs, if you just record the bus to a track by arming it and setting a new audio track as src, you can get stuff off of addictive drums or keys or anything else.  then grooveclip and the rest for chopping or pitch /w autiomation lanes and proch.
 
Ins tracks need recording to audio data first, because whats there is midi events.

Indeed there are many ways to skin that particular cat. In fact I just recently had to create some "One Shots" for the first time. Since it was only to slightly alter a live multimic'd drum track though (the samples came from the original kit) I just swiped the hits I needed, dropped them at the right spot to create the pattern I wanted then copy/pasta'd that (no Groove Clip looping needed) for the repititions I needed. Bounced it all and bingo bango. Dun deal.
 
Actually if I wanted to I could have altered the pitch of the hits/one shots by using the DSP "Process > Transpose" function on individual samples as well before bouncing. I didn't need that but again... that is just another method to achieve such proverbial cat skinning.
 
That method of course could be used on those AD2 one shot wave samples I referred to earlier as well.
 
Sometimes you gotta try different processes to get the best end result so it's good to have multiple tricks up one's sleeve.
 
Cheers.

See Ive always found the pitch bend wheel on keyboards to be utterly useless.
 
Now I finally found the pointof such a thing.
 
Also when I used to play the timpani, I had to change the pitch in transitions during the performed pieces. This seems like a missing feature in drum VSTs.
