Hi Benjami,
Sorry for the delay, life got busy and stressful for a while!
I've found and logged a couple of crashes which includes at least the
export crash you mentioned, but I haven't found one on deleting the last
layer of an instrument. I have fixed and submitted pull requests for these.
Hopefully someone can review and apply these before 1.0 release.
Is there anything more you can share about the crash on deleting the last
layer? Is it reproducible with one of the standard kits?
Now looking again at your feature suggestions, I realise I've misread.
1) as far as I can tell, the behaviour you suggest for "round robin within
velocity" is *actually* already (more or less) the current behaviour of
Hydrogen's "Round robin". In a naïve round robin sample set where each
layer spans the whole velocity range, this will behave like a classic
sample round robin because each sample will match at any velocity. But if
set up like your example, the behaviour should be to select round robin
between the samples that match the velocity range. The behaviour might not
match exactly 100% what you'd expect but should be generally close enough
to get the same effect.
Also, you can set the maximum number of layers per instrument component in
the "Preferences" dialog (in the "General" tab, at the bottom of the page)
to allow 36 (or as many as you like) layers.
For 2) there isn't a generalised way to connect and group instruments or
components together, but the "Component" mechanism should be close enough
to let you do what I *think* you're asking for.
It's not documented in the manual, and the GUI is a bit confusing, but :
- Each *instrument* contains multiple "Components" each of which is
played when the instrument is played
- Each *component* contains multiple "layers" of which only one is
played according to matching velocity and selection rule
- Each *layer* contains one *sample*
Components are grouped together by name on the mixer, so each instrument
can be controlled independently using the instrument slider, or the
component / microphone controlled using the slider. The actual volume for a
given instrument component is the product of both the instrument and
component sliders.
To get the effect of a single per-microphone slider which is equivalent to
the mic slider in a studio mixer, you would have:
Kit contains:
- "Kick-L" instrument
- "closemic" component, which contains
- 36 layers of "KickLCM" samples arranged 6x6 by velocity as above
- "roommic" component which contains
- 36 layers of "KickLRM" samples (I'm guessing at the filename!)
6x6...
- ...same for overheadmic, smashmic, submic, bottommic
- "Kick-R" instrument
- "closemic" component which contains
- 36 layers of "KickRCM..." samples 6x6
Or, perhaps I'm misunderstanding, and all you want to do is to group
instruments together so that they can be faded as a single instrument?
If that's the case, all you have to do is rename the main component of each
instrument so that they have the name of the group you want the slider for.
Then you can ignore the instrument slider, and use the component/group
slider instead.
I hope this is close enough to what you want to be of help!
Thanks :)
