LiViD - Little Virtual Drummer
MAGIX LiViD helps you to turn your ideas into songs. Enter a few basic details and
LiViD will play a full drum track, complete with intro, verses, choruses, fills, bridges
etc.; the entire song structure is laid out for your convenience. Brilliant stereo drum
samples recorded by professional studio musicians and a freely adjustable
“Humanize“ function will create an authentic drum feel with perfect sound quality.
LiViD features four styles (pop, rock, funk, latin), each of which is subdivided into four
further substyles, as well as six song sections for each substyle (intro, verse, bridge,
chorus, outro, fill-in).
Scramble: A random sequence of four one-bar patterns is generated internally for
each style/substyle/song section. “Scramble” generates a new pattern order.
Shuffle: Shifts the second and fourth 16th note of a beat back by a freely definable
amount (100% = triplet rhythm).
Humanize: Randomly shifts all events backwards or forwards, or leaves them
unaffected. Note: these shifts are very subtle and not always immediately perceptible!
Snare: Sets the snare stick style to “normal”, “side stick” (stick hits the rim while
resting on the skin) or “rim shot” (sticks hits the rim and skin simultaneously).
Exception: the snare’s quietest velocity level ( the "ghost notes") is always “normal”.
Hi-hat: Sets the hi-hat sound to “soft” (fully closed) or to “hard” (half-open).
Exception: completely opened hi-hat (pop, type1, verse).
Ride: Sets the ride cymbal sound to “ride” (cymbal is hit on the rim) or “ride bell”
(cymbal is hit on the bell at the center).
