Autobeat, an AI drum sequencer plugin, is available for free.
Axart Software has recently launched AutoBeat, a drum sequencer plugin that is compatible with both Windows and macOS. While there is a paid version of the plugin, a free version is also available for users.
Artificial intelligence (AI) is currently very popular and widely discussed. In addition to our previous coverage on AI music generators, this technology is now being utilized for MIDI generation, audio editing, and various other purposes.
I have previous knowledge of the team at Axart Software because of their impressive mKer sequencer suite for the iPad. However, it came as a surprise to learn that they also offer an AI-powered drum sequencer for both Windows and Mac operating systems.
While AutoBeat does offer a paid version, there is also a lot to discover and explore with the free version. Therefore, let's delve further into it and examine its features.
Autobeat has a fundamental feature that allows users to choose from a variety of genres to create drum beats. There are a total of 8 genres available, including popular electronic genres such as house, techno, and DnB.
Additionally, there are a total of 12 tracks available for use, which is typically sufficient for the majority of MIDI-based drum machines compatible with both Windows and Mac operating systems. In my personal experience, I found it beneficial to utilize Autobeat in conjunction with Algonaut's Atlas.
Since I was already using AI, I thought I might as well go all out and aim for the top achievement!
You have the option to choose the thickness, size, and strength of each design. Additionally, the randomization dial adds a touch of organized disorder to the combination.
In my experience, I discovered that setting it to approximately 25% yielded the best results. Otherwise, I observed that things started to become abstract too rapidly.
Autobeat's premium version enables users to export MIDI files to the drum machine plugin they prefer. If you are comfortable with routing MIDI, then you're in for a pleasant surprise.
I appreciate the flexibility of being able to customize the mapping of things according to my own workflow. The interface is user-friendly and easy to understand, and there are separate mute and solo options for each of the 12 tracks. Moreover, you can save multiple patterns, with a total of 128 patterns stored across 8 prompts.
If you're struggling with finding inspiration for percussive elements, Autobeat is a great option to try out. However, I did have to make some adjustments to focus on specific elements of my Atlas kits that I wanted to work on.
However, after making the necessary adjustments, I quickly began to make significant progress!
Autobeat can be used on both Windows and Mac computers. It is designed to work seamlessly with Apple Silicon, which is a great feature to have.
Get AutoBeat now by downloading it for free or purchasing the paid version.

The software is not functioning properly for me and it causes my digital audio workstation (DAW) called Samplitude to freeze. This is not a good experience, so I have decided

When using the software Ableton, it creates MIDI data but does not produce any sound. In order to hear the sound, you must use a channel and direct the MIDI data into a new channel containing a drum kit or virtual instrument.
I'm sorry, but the
Hmm, now it has completely ceased to function.
I am sorry

This is not artificial intelligence in any way, but rather just a collection of patterns.

I tested it out using Ableton Live 11 on a Dell G5s Ryzen 17 with 16GB of RAM running on Windows 10. I installed and loaded a VST in a MIDI channel, as well as loaded a Live Impulse drum application. I followed a video tutorial and learned that I needed to route the MIDI channel to connect to the drum VST. However, when I linked everything and pressed play, there was no sound. I tried again with a different application in order to assign the MIDI notes to the loaded samples, but still no sound. Eventually, I uninstalled it. It was quicker for me to manually load the VST3 and DLL Speedrum Lite, load it into Live, and manually create my own drum notes for a "random" pattern.
