Pocket Operations

A right-click drum-pattern library for Ableton Live. It browses the classic drum-machine patterns from the Pocket Operations booklet, 269 of them across 23 genres, and drops any one as a MIDI clip onto a Drum Rack. Pick a genre, page through the bank, audition through a built-in kit, then insert.

The third of the dnvsfn Ableton extensions, alongside Midnight Tools and Breakdowns.

The patterns are transcribed from Pocket Operations by Paul Wenzel, redistributed with his permission. If you find these patterns useful, donations to charities on his website, shittyrecording.studio, are appreciated.
