in this video I'm going to show you how to get hundreds of instruments for free
with just two downloads that's right two downloads and you're going to get hundreds of instruments so
what are the downloads one is the new Waves Cosmos sample organizer and it comes with hundreds of
samples and loops and the other download is the Grace Plugin from One Small Clue and Grace is a
sampler plugin so we're going to load the samples from Cosmos into grace and we're going to create
our instrument so let's check out how to do that so you can see here's Grace on this side and
here's Sosmos so i'm going to close down Grace for now and i want to start with a bass instrument and
the cool thing about Cosmos is it comes with over 2500 samples and it sorts them by instruments so
you can see we have bass here synth all kinds of different things but we want base so let's click
on that and then we could also look at the key so if there was a specific key that we wanted to go
in we could look at that here and you could also go in here click on key say we want something in G
and we want it to be major we would just click G major that's what we have we'll click apply
and we have a few basses here in G major let's just see what we've got going on
all right those are cool but not really what i'm looking for so i'm going to clear the Gg major
thing and also bpm doesn't really matter to me right here either so i'm just going to clear that
and we're just going to search base but i want to look for a shorter length so i'm going to click
length and you can see now it's the shorter length so these are just like
one shots or one hit whatever you want to call it and let's just see what we have here
let's say that's the one i like right there i'm going to open up Grace now
and then cosmos and all we have to do is click here drag it and drop it
into Grace like that so now i'm going to hit something on my midi keyboard
all right let's say we like that what we could do is start to
layer sounds so i want to click on group here and new key group and you can see
we have this empty section where we can drag something else in so we drag this one in it's
a C it says let's see if there's another C here's another C what's that sound like
let's say we want to drag that in all right let's do that click grace open cosmos again
and we'll drag this in here now we're going to be playing both of those things when we hit a note
kind of gives it a nice bigger sound
and if we go into the sample map we can actually make it so group two or the second sample has
its own set of keys that it goes to. so we're on group two that's the second sample
we would just click this and let's say we just want that one key to control it so that is here
so you can hear when i hit this key it's playing that second sample if i hit another key
it's only playing that first sample and of course
we're now on group one here we can change that so it's another set of keys so we only want that
one key say for that one thing but we'll have that other sample with a few keys so
something like that and you can continue to build this up in here so what we could do
is build a whole drum kit in here and we'll look at that in just a bit but let's look at creating
another instrument so i'm going to clear this and we're going to delete key group delete key group
all right and now let's just look at creating a different instrument in here we'll clear this
base so hit clear now let's just click on this instruments here and say we want something like a
synth we'll click this and it shows you different types of synths that we can have let's look at
synth brass and here's all our synth brass here let's shorten it again so it's like a one hit
i kind of i kind of like that one there so i'm just going to open up Grace
bring that in there and let's play something
now you can see this is a longer loop in there so if we wanted we could
drag this so it ends right after this first part of it so
or maybe we want it these first two things
so you have some options with what you can do with the different things you can even have it
so it starts at a different section maybe we just like this one part here and drag that like that
that's pretty cool like that so there's a synth
that we created and you can see there's like i said thousands of different samples in here so
potentially thousands of different instruments that you can create and like i said you can
layer these so there's almost endless amounts of instruments and sounds that you can generate
with this and Grace so now let's look at creating a little bit of a drum kit in here so
again i'm going to delete the key group start brand new and let's look up drums now
so we're going to clear synth brass go to instruments this time we want to go down to drums
and you can see there's full kit if we click on that it's going to be a full kit right in one loop
that's not what we really want you could use that if we drag that into grace like this
then we've got a full drum kit right at our fingertips
but what i want to do is kind of create a drum kit from one shot so let's delete this
and then we'll go back to our Cosmos here and we'll click length so we have the shortest
length which is our one shots we have we have kick hats which is probably a kick drum and a hi-hat
that's kind of cool right there but let's go back into instruments and see if we can yeah we can
narrow this down to kick snare tops tom all of this stuff so
let's start with our kick drum click on kick and let's see what we have
all right let's say this is the one i like right here click on grace bring that in drag and drop
that's a pretty cool kick right there let's go down to our sample map here
and we'll just map this i want to map it to say this key right here
so now only that one key is controlling the kick so we need to create a new key group and this time
we want snare so let's get rid of kick and we'll go to instruments snare let's hear what we have
i kind of like that one and this can be great too if you're just
wanting to supplement a snare in maybe your drum kit you just want to add some samples in
there to strengthen it you could do that with this as well so i'm going to open grace here
drag and drop my snare in and we'll listen to that
yeah i like that snare now i want the snare to be on this key so we're just going to drag this over
i think that's the right key yep now i'm going to bring in a hi-hat so
new key group go back to cosmos get rid of snare we're also going to get rid of
full kit here so now we want to go to instruments then we're going to go down to symbols and you can
see we have hi-hat right there so let's click that and check out what we have
okay i like that one so let's open grace and we'll bring that one in here
all right so we'll just do this
and i like keeping it on where it's at right now we'll just keep it there makes things easy
all right let's hear what we got we just created a bit of a drum kit there and of
course you can keep adding in there and you can add some of your instruments in there as well
if you want to control a bass at the same time that you're controlling your drums you
could use other keys to control a bass guitar or bass instrument you can do that the sky is
really the limit with using cosmos and grace both of these are free definitely check these
