You can, of course, choose to ignore the BeatForms and BarForms found in BeatWeaver and simply program your own patterns from scratch in the arrangement window. BeatForms sit in BarForms, which are entire bars of beats. The notes can also sit in what Liquid Rhythm calls BeatForms, which are groups of notes that fit into an 8 th-note beat. Diamonds are used to represent notes, with rectangular bars above them to indicate velocity. Patterns are displayed using a simple notation system which differs slightly from the typical step sequencer or piano roll grid. Version 1.4 also introduces a new Custom Instrument Type option, which allows you to override the default instrument type of the chosen sound. Suggestions are made based on the instrument type, so if you select a kick drum track you’ll get suggestions of suitable kick drum patterns, which might be totally different to the patterns suggested for, say, hi-hats. A BeatSeeker option below the Map automatically highlights the most appropriate patterns for your beat, with an option to specify a genre in order to whittle the choice down further. Select a bar in the arranger, then audition one-bar patterns on the BarForm and BeatForm Maps until you find something which works in your groove. BeatWeaver is the feature which best demonstrates Liquid Rhythm’s unique approach, based around a multiple-choice system for creating one-bar rhythms from pre-defined BarForms and BeatForms. There are a few different ways you can approach the creation of beats in Liquid Rhythm, but the most obvious places to start are the BeatBuilder section and BeatWeaver, the software’s built-in ‘rhythm synthesiser’. It’s worth noting that once you’ve created a beat you can also swap samples in real time as the arrangement plays back, making it easy to audition different drum sounds in the context of the overall beat (this should really be taken for granted in 2014, but too many sample-based drum machines and instruments still complicate the process). Before creating a beat, you begin by putting together a kit from the sample library (kits can contain loops as well as individual hits). The range of built-in sounds is quite thorough thanks to a selection of genre-based additional downloads, while custom sample libraries can also be added with ease. The central focus is the Arranger Canvas, which is instantly familiar as a linear arrangement view just like you’d find in a DAW. Liquid Rhythm runs as a standalone application, interfacing with your DAW via a VST/AU/RTAS plugin.

With version 1.4 (a free upgrade for existing owners), the aim isn’t so much to reinvent the package, but to hone and polish the features to make the entire approach more efficient and even more flexible. Version 1.3, released late last year, was a substantial overhaul of the software, introducing a number of innovative new features. WaveDNA’s Liquid Rhythm offers a unique approach to drum programming.

Please follow our music lineup on Facebook so that you do not miss your favorite genre or artist. The staff here at Liquid Note works hard to showcase the musical variety that this area of southwest Michigan loves and deserves. He decided that the venue would have a variety of genres from “A Capella” to “zydeco” so that everyone would be able to come and enjoy their favorite musical style from time to time.

Having a music background, and enjoying many different genres of music, Mark understood that our local area had the musical talent to support this but not the right venue to support the various listening habits of music lovers. It is up to you to figure out the artist that goes along with each beer! We hope you enjoy our Musically Infused™ brews!īack in 2003, Mark McPherson had the desire to have a music venue in downtown Otsego. Instantly, more ideas started to form and it was evident that the beers would be very easy to design using this philosophy. “What does Johnny Cash’s music taste like in a pint glass?” was the question that Mark posed to Chris. It started when Mark McPherson and Chris LaPonsie chatted on the phone one Sunday afternoon and Mark suggested that capturing the styles of artists’ music would be an interesting spin on beer. The name Liquid Note Brewing ties itself to music. Music and beer are the best social lubricants known to man! We’ve definitely got music, so we just needed beer.
