NM Snare Build

Snare build-ups you draw like MIDI

$12Buy · Soon

Drop any snare and draw your build-up on a 1/4 to 1/32 grid, triplets too, or press Generate for a new one. Swing, pitch rise, filter, reverb and texture, played in sync with your song, and MIDI notes play the snare like a sampler.

Ableton Live 12 Suite, or Live 12 Standard with Max for Live. Windows and macOS.

How it works

Put it on a MIDI track and drop a snare. Pick a grid value (1/4 to 1/32, or triplets) to fill the build, select bars to change only them, or take the pencil and draw: drag to paint, right-click to delete, drag a row up or down for pitch. Press Generate for a new build, then add Swing, Pitch Rise, Filter, Reverb and Texture. PLAY loops it with your song.
