CHAPTER 23. LIVE INSTRUMENT REFERENCE 375
23.3.2 Accessing the Drum Machines
After installation, the Drum Machines presets are accessed through Live's Device Browser, in
exactly the same way as Live's other built-in instruments. You will nd them as categorized
presets within the Drum Rack folder. Drum Machines presets are therefore loaded just like
any other device, by dragging a preset from the Browser into an empty MIDI track.
All of the Drum Machines presets are conveniently mapped to Macro Controls for greater
expression.
Additionally, Drum Machines includes a comprehensive collection of Live Clips, which are
installed to your Library. Loading a Live Clip to an empty MIDI track loads a combination of
MIDI notes, an instrument and custom effects that you can use as a starting point for your
own creative work.
23.4 Electric
The Electric Instrument.
Electric is a software electric piano based on the classic instruments of the seventies, and
developed in collaboration with Applied Acoustics Systems. Each component of these
instruments has been modeled using cutting edge physical modeling technology to provide
realistic and lively sounds. Physical modeling uses the laws of physics to reproduce the
behavior of an object. In other words, Electric solves, in real time, mathematical equations
describing how its different components function. No sampling or wavetables are used
in Electric; the sound is simply calculated in real time by the CPU according to the values
of each parameter. Electric is more than a simple recreation of vintage instruments; its
