Editing drum and bass tracks is quite slow and tedious process, even with the help of Bandmate. The thing is that the generated grooves are rarely exactly what I want, and I need to use a lot of time for tweaking and adjusting the details (placing individual drum hits, finding right fills, etc.). It would be great to get next-level AI assistance for this. The technology is ready for sure, the solution just should be designed and implemented for Toontrack products.

Approach using AI chat prompts could work.

Example Use Cases (prompts):

1. Control Play Style

• Goal: Change style
• Context: Groove: hi-hat + snare pattern, Style: rock → funk
• Request: “Make the hi-hat more syncopated and add ghost notes on the snare.”

2. Edit Groove to Follow Guitar Rhythm

• Goal: Edit groove
• Context: Groove: Selected groove, Reference: guitar track rhythm
• Request: “Make the kick drum follow the palm-muted guitar chugs.”

3. Tempo Change with Triplets at Cursor

• Goal: Adjust tempo + timing
• Context: Cursor position: bar 16, Next groove: triplets, Reference: previous 4/4 straight section
• Request: “Shift to triplets so that the note frequency stays the same as the previous straight groove.”
