Check out PC Drummer. Easy to use, and it allows
tweaking to give variation to both hit and rhythm so it doesn't sound like a
machine. It can handle 24bit stuff, and you can use your own samples. You can
then save it as one wav file or as multiple wav files for each instrument in
your kit.

Subject: Easiest drum machine
software
Hey folks,
I had been considering plunking down a
coupla hundred bucks on a used Ensoniq or E-mu drum machine and it occurred to
me that it might be cheaper to go the software route. For whatever reason I
have a bit of a brain block when it comes to programming synths, MIDI, and
rhythms, so it will be an uphill battle I know. The drum machines I've been
drawn to are those that allow you hammer out rhythms on pads in real-time, so
that you don't JUST have to do it in step programming.
Trance/dance/techno/breakbeat etc are what I'm looking for.
Any
decent software packages out there focused on drums? I really don't have the
time/inclination to master a complicated software interface like a lot of the
overall production systems - if there really is a dedicated drum machine
program out there that's decent, i'd love to play with it. If it has (or has
access to) multiple decent drum libraries as well, that would be cool - or at
least the ability to play wav samples.
I do have an Akai MPD16
midi drum control pad thingie, so that should help.
Any thoughts
on a "for dummies" software drum machine?
