With a little prep you can port your favourite kits to Push with a minimum of fuss

As Live users know, each pad of a Drum Rack can contain any one of a variety of sound sources, including any of Live’s instrument Devices or third-party plugins. A common use, however, is to load each up with a sampled hit, via individual instances of Live’s Simpler. Our example here uses 16 vintage drum sounds from FM’s Sample Archive.
