Reggae Drum Midi Files Free
Emmanuelle Riker
Hello,
I'm having problems trying to route Lumbeat's drums in Cubasis 3.
I can record them as an audio track when Audio Input is set as an IAA , but I can't manage to record them as a midi track. "Send midi notes" and Midi out to Cubasis" are setted up in Lumbeats app.
What am I missing?
Is there someone that could tell me how to route your Lumbeat's drums for midi tracks recording please?
I have read that other members use other drum kits to plug in to Lumbeat edited midi tracks. Maybe some members will give some suggestions. My own experience is that Lumbeat will not play its own midi generated tracks. That is similarly frustrating with Korg Module, another IAA. Is it an IAA thing?

Thanks a lot everybody for your help, advices and shared experiences.
I also came to the conclusion after a lot of frustrated experiments with all kind of midi piplines that none of Lumbeat's drums that I have ( 7 of them) can play back the midi notes that they generated. It s quite a paradox considering that these midi notes can actually being played by Digistix, Axon , Fractal Bits or any kind of midi instruments AUV3 or IAA except the Lumbeat's one. So, yes, we can still record them in audio but these amazing drums deserve to be editable and polishable as a normal midi instrument inside a DAW. Especially considering the price they cost.
These apps all sound amazing, but there is a lack of documentation. Is there a manual for reggae drummer? In general, what is the best way to learn to use these? Because every time I try to find instructions, they seem either non-existent or not detailed enough.
Thanks Hisdudeness for the screenshot,
I just tried that. Exporting midi multitrack or full mix gave me the same result which is another midi track that can not be played back by the Lumbeat drum itself but needs another midi instrument to be played. I don't understand really. I think all of this is because LB drums don't show up as midi IAA instrument in Cubasis. Don' t know why.
Ibassist has good midi export
A while back I managed to record the midi from the amazing reggae drummer in to.... Can't remember the name.its getting an update soonish as been mentioned here,
Then used that with some drum apps.
I kinda found that I liked the drum sounds from reggae drummer, as all my reggae samples are on pc, and realised that I wasn't really gaining much.
And it was hit and miss
I now have a clean init patch in reggae drummer, and build my loops in reggae drummer, then record the audio
A real manual or thorough explanation from the man Luis would be a great help
@moher Honestly, it isn't worth jumping through all the hoops.. the frustration + time wasting.. complete BS..
Build the song inside of the Lumbeat app until it's complete + then export the midi +/or audio file(s), import the midi file (which can still be edited), play it back using the Sound Module feature in the Lumbeat drum app.. Done + Done.. Use the power of EXPORT.. that's what it's there for..
In regards to Lumbeats in Cubasis 3 as @royor pointed out it's currently really not worth it since you can just export the midi. But this is how I got midi to record in Cubasis 3. But as @royor pointed out it will only work once then you have to close Cubasis and start the process over to record more midi. After I record midi in the movie I delete the track and do the exact same steps but no midi is recorded the second time. I have reproduced this with soft drummer and funk drummer on ipad air 2 ios 13.6.1. I think this same procedure works much better in Cubasis 2.This video was made with Cubasis 3.1.1 not the new 3.1.2.
But one thing is clear these drums are a serious pain in the A to get what should be normal and simple with a modern midi instrument. This shouldn't be so twisted to configurate by the user. These drums are so good sounding it s a shame they are not more cooperative.
I used reggae drummer in my latest video, synced to aum by ableton link. But I found that if I ran it for a few mins the sync started to drift. Is that the kind of problem you're talking about with sync? Does anyone know how to fix this? If there's one thing I need in a drum app, it's that it'll keep time ??. Unless it was Enso in the same session that was going off the beat, but I don't think so....
To be fair to Luis, I know no one is having a dig at him, just these midi problems.
About 6 months ago, I missed the reggae drummer sale, mailed him, and he sorted me out, which I am very grateful.
Due to his kindness I instantly brought ibassist as my way to say thank you. Which I certainly don't regret.
Annoyingly have missed a few of the other sales as they only last 24 hrs
I agree, trying to mail him, is the best option.
I hope he chimes in
Damn I like his apps!
Nope. All you need is your DAW such as Ableton, FL Studio, Logic Pro,Studio One, Pro Tools, Cubase, Reason, Reaper, Garage Band, Cakewalk, Mixcraft & all others. The MIDI files are drag-and-drop, and you can use them with any of your favorite drum samples. It's both Mac and PC Compatible, and there's no installation required.

I have a Casio WK7600 and am trying to load midi files on it. I copied some midi files onto a properly and successfully formatted SD card which when I formatted it, shows the music.dat folder. I copied my Midi files into that folder per the instructions but for some reason my Casio Keyboard WK7600 does not located the midi files but recognizes the SD card. What am I doing wrong? Thanks for any help.
Also, it is better to start a new thread than to hijack an old thread about a totally unrelated topic with a title that has nothing to do with your question. I nearly skipped looking at this thread, as I have no experience with generating reggae drum tracks.
I have been trying for days on end to load midi files on to my WK7600 and nothing works. I formatted my SD card successfully and indeed have the MUSICDAT folder there. I loaded my Midi files right into the folder. Then per Casio's instructions, I loaded the SD card into the keyboard. Enter the CARD button and nothing happens. My files do not exist. They tell me to fo;llow the instrucions on page E142 in the manual. Nothing happens. No midi files exist. To this date no one can help me. No support for Apple as well. Any advice?
Unable to convert. No software exists for Apple users. Only Windows. I followed the advice of someone plus Casio to load the midi files onto the formatted SD card into the MUSICDAT folder. Then enter the CARD button but nothing happens. Midi files do not appear. I was told to follow instructions in manual on page E-142. Nothing works. Just sits there. This is what I get: See image.
Ok, time to give something back. I'm making available some of my favourite reggae riddims in midi format for all you producers to re-use. Released as part of the digital 7-inch project, you're all invited to contact me with your versions - my favourites will get a release on the netlabel.
Subaqueous has announced the release of Caribbean Drum Beats MIDI Library, a free collection of 64 Caribbean MIDI drum patterns. The beats are suitable for moombahton, dancehall, reggaeton and reggae.
Reggae, also known as REGGAE.MID or Reggae.mid is a midi file that comes packaged with three other midi files, Jazz.mid, Minuet.mid & Ballade.mid if a Creative Labs Soundblaster 16 soundcard and its drivers are installed.
In 2013, on Patch93's YouTube video ( =Q7DWi4V_fvw) showcasing the forgotten midis, the actual composer of Reggae.mid & Jazz.mid, Carl Franklin posted a comment revealing the true composer of the midi files: "Hey, I recognize those! I wrote JAZZ.MID and REGGAE.MID when I worked for Voyetra."
Two years later (2015), Phillip Remake posted a reply, confirming Carl Franklin as the composed of the two midi files, and uploaded a link to the story of the midis' history: (Contains one use of Strong Language)
In 1996, an obscure Sonic game, Sonic's Schoolhouse utilized Reggae.mid as the theme for the "3D Concentration" minigame, where the only difference in the midi file is that the intro Timbale drums have been removed and the remaining Timbale drums are slightly different:
