HumBeat – Quick Start Guide

Turn Your MIDI Drums into a Natural Performance in Just a Few Clicks

1 Load Your MIDI File

  • Click "Load MIDI" or drag and drop your drum MIDI file into the HumBeat window.
  • HumBeat supports all standard MIDI drum files (.mid, .midi) from any DAW or drum software.
  • Once loaded, your MIDI drum track will be analyzed, and the interface will show the number of notes detected.

2 Adjust Humanization Settings

HumBeat provides four core humanization features—customize them to match your desired playing style:

Timing Humanization

Subtle Fluctuations in Timing

  • Adds slight timing variations to notes to remove robotic precision.
  • Use the "Timing Variation" slider to control how much variation is applied (0-20ms).
  • Professional drummers typically fluctuate within ±5-15ms, so start with moderate settings.

Velocity Humanization

Natural Dynamic Variations

  • Adjusts the intensity of each hit, making some softer and others louder for realism.
  • The "Velocity Variation" slider controls the amount of randomness (0-10 velocity points).
  • Works great for snare dynamics, cymbal accents, and tom fills.

Ghost Notes

Enhance Groove & Feel

  • Adds subtle snare ghost notes around main snare hits to create a more natural groove.
  • Set the "Probability" slider (0-100%) to control how often ghost notes appear.
  • Adjust the "Velocity" of ghost notes for realistic volume (15-35 recommended).
  • If your kit uses multiple snare samples, enable "Use Additional Snare Notes" and set the secondary snare note.

Kick Drum Alternation

More Realistic Double Bass

  • Automatically alternates left and right kick for fast passages.
  • Enable "Alternate Left/Right Kick" and select the Left Kick Note (default: 35) and Right Kick Note (default: 36).
  • Choose a speed threshold (e.g., 32nd notes) at which the alternation will kick in.
  • Adjust the "Human Factor" slider to simulate foot fatigue, natural accents, and dominance of the stronger foot.

3 Preview Changes (Optional)

Before saving, HumBeat shows real-time statistics on how your settings affect the MIDI:

Timing Randomness – % of notes affected by timing shifts.
Velocity Variation – % of notes affected by velocity changes.
Alternated Kicks – % of kick notes that are alternated.
Added Ghost Notes – % of new ghost notes added.

Use these stats to fine-tune your settings before exporting.

4 Save Your Humanized MIDI

  • Click "Save MIDI", choose a file name, and select a location to save your new MIDI file.
  • HumBeat keeps the original structure, tempo, and time signatures while applying humanization.
  • The saved file is compatible with all DAWs, drum VSTs, and MIDI editors.

5 Load the Humanized MIDI Into Your DAW

  • Import the processed MIDI into your DAW or drum software.
  • Assign it to your favorite drum plugin or sampler (Superior Drummer 3, GetGood Drums, Mixwave, SSD 5.5, etc.).
  • Fine-tune the performance in your DAW if needed, but most users find no further editing required!

Pro Tips for Best Results

For a natural feel, start with Timing ±5ms and Velocity ±3-5.

Use ghost notes moderately (30-50% probability for rock; 60-80% for funk/R&B).

For metal double bass, enable kick alternation and set 32nd note threshold.

Combine multiple humanization types for the most realistic results.

Use HumBeat on all MIDI drum tracks—even pre-programmed ones to enhance realism!

"Jaroslav helped me make a more efficient session that sounds clear and powerful, all while using less CPU than my original template. By combining elements of his templates and mine I was able to shape my Austrian Death Machine mixes into exactly what I was looking for. His drum templates in particular helped me see my mix from a new perspective, and it wouldn't sound nearly as good without him."
