Here's what I've found out so far.
 
1) Created a simple instrument track for grooveextractor_lite
2) Created another instrument tract for Addictive Drums 2
3) Set up routing
4) Opened Groove Extractor (GE)
5) Dragged an Aaron Comess drum loop into GE (DrySwunk_Verse01_100bpm.wav)
6) Face palm! REMEMBER to switch from Electronic detection to Acoustics
7) Opened the step sequencer
8) Dragged the resulting MIDI into the step sequencer
9) Adjusted the key mapping to match up with AD2's default keymap (kick was ok (36); the other four needed remapping)
 
Bingo! Worked like a charm. Of course, the resulting audio from AD2 was no where near the original loop, but that's not the point.
 
The issue I still have is if you create an intermediate MIDI file, it will be Type 0 and not Type 1, so that needs to be followed up on.

 
 




I used to have dollars, then I subscribed to this forum and now can't afford to give my 2 cents!! I still have scents at times, go ahead and ask my wife or little dude.

If you can smell what the Rock is cooking!

Little dude?

For anyone who picked this up, the v1.1 update is available for download. Plus, a manual has been added.

I would be interested in this, although I've noticed that the audio demos on the site only feature very simple grooves, nothing too fast or involved. Can anyone tell me how it fares with some all-out Billy Cobham style mayhem? 

Groove Extractor? Extract the groove and what do you have? Modern pop music. Yeah, that's the ticket.

Outta here.

I wouldn't mind having it either...If it works. Some reviews would be great!

FYI
 
Hi all,
We have recently updated GrooveExtractor to version 1.1 with two handy features:
1. tempo box: Manually enter the BPM for the output MIDI file
2. preceding silence option: In the option menu (click GrooveExtractor logo), one can choose to align the first onset as the first beat. This is handy if one cuts part of a sound file to create groove loops.

While the resultant MIDI requires "cleaning up" it's not bad...could end up
being quite a time saver.  Another thought is to record your drummer, then generate MIDI,
from his tracks and replace with the any Drum sound you want...

My next experiment will be to try to isolate a drum track from a song, and 
then export it as a wave file and see how well this converts it...

This could be quite a useful tool in the long haul...and, since this is considered "lite",
maybe the full version (if and when it becomes available?), will do much better, and
offer more functionality...so, for a $10 investment, you're on the upgrade path to
the (maybe) full version?
