How is > this useful? this is wrong. an layer can only contains one sample. in this way you will select multiple samples which get all an own layer. if auto velocity is enabled all layers become a linear layer->velocity curve. here is a video. this is no finished tutorial. it only record: * how i create a sample drumkit * make some pan settings * save the new drumkit and edit drumkit and licence informations * at least i export the new kit to share it with friends or what ever else. the kit contains around 150 samples in 10 multi layer instruments. http://popez.org/~wolke/hydrogen/video/create-and-export-sl.ogv the video is 12 minuts long. i think its possible to create the example kit in the half of this time. some information beside the video. multiple selection in audiofile browser only work with ctrl+clicking on items. the order you will click on the items will create the layer order. the check box "set automatic velocity" create a linear layer->velocity curve. i create all instruments by using this features. it produce good velocity results with normalised samples. better results you get with samples which are natural recorded. this means quieter hits have less sample amplitude. of course the needs high quality samples which are recorded with a corresponding sample depth. but later you can produce realistic dynamics. e.g. by playing with drum trigger pads. greetings wolke > > > Another quick idea: We could try to build a "magic drumkit assistant" :) > > A dialog which lets you quickly create a new drumkit from your samples > > and which assists you with renaming instruments etc. The fine tuning ( > > adjusting velocity, gain ) could be done in the "normal" gui. > > - Sebastian > > agreed that an external too could be even avoided, but scripting is generally > a > faster solution, at least for me that don't have too much experience with qt > and > c++. > > regards > Sal > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > SOLARIS 10 is the OS for Data Centers - provides features such as DTrace, > Predictive Self Healing and Award Winning ZFS.
