Well... you got one example with gigedit, from the linuxsampler project. I didn't have a good start with it (it somehow did not behave well to me), but I managed to get the idea that it supports adding dimensions to an instrument, each one you can separate into ranges... then you click on the ranges and set a sample for the constellation of ranges you selected. It will take time with any GUI... I guess I'd still prefer to half-automatically work that stuff out with editor/script acting on some plaintext file like hydrogen's drumkit format. > > PS: Blasphemic side remark: I am wary of using hydrogen as > > live performance drum sampler with the GUI running in X11, > > SVN HEAD already has a non-GUI version, I think you build it > with 'gui=0'. Hm, gotta check that out.

Aha. So a fork of hydrogen to go more into the direction of linuxsampler, sort of? Always movement in this field... heck, before I solved the most pressing situation of opening/closing the hihat with hydrogen (using the extra MIDI filter), I was _this_ close to just writing a simple non-GUI live sampler myself. I happen to have some experience with audio coding and codes to re-use, so that might've been quicker than figuring out gigedit to make a proper drum kit. Could it be that people involved in music and free software are a somewhat creative bunch that likes to create new things for the sake of it... even if it's the 1000th drum sampler out there? ;-) > supports Hydrogen drum kits. Whatever you do ... please try to keep that statement true. While I am generally no big fan of XML for everything, for drumkit setups to be portable among different apps, this is a life saver. Especially when there'll be 2D or nD instruments, there is massive human time spent increating that drumkit, best preserved by multiple apps being able to use it. Alrighty then, Thomas (who is now soldering his double-bass impulse foot switches for the ControlPad). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
