Hi folks,
After a look at http://www.linuxsampler.org/, I have a little comment about
this commit:

* Exclusive Groups: don't ever stop voices of the same note,
doesn't sound naturally with a drumkit.
This change is good for most drum items, for example when you play a ride
cymbal, but not for a hi hat. A good professional sampled HH have many
layers of openness - not only closed HH and open HH - but also many layers
between this two states. And in this case, this samples with velocities and
each velocity's level of openness be in the same note and be controlled with
a drum pad with it's pedal or a key and a CC (for example an expression
pedal). Another example is that a roll from the right stick need the be
killed when you hit a roll again with the right stick. It will be many thing
thing going on if former samples don't die when yo play roll samples with
both right and left hands!
Also, think about a hi hat that you open and close gradually when it is hit,
the former hits really needs to be quiet - especially when you gradually
close the HH while playing on it. It sounds terrible when a old sample with
a longer decay still sounds when the last hit HH sample (IE a closed HH)
already is dead a HH don't play an open and closed hit at the same time!
:-)
I'm worried about this because I'm making a SFZ version of the NDK
(http://naturaldrum.com/), which is designed to sound and act as real
drumkit, The HH I use - which is a slightly reduced version of the original
big HH in the NDK - has 16 openness layers for every velocity layer. And I
believe that HH samples from Analogue Drums have 3 layers (closed, middle
and open) of openness.
To know how to handle this is very important for me because I'm a Linux user
and Linux sampler is the only alternative. You can hear the NDK HH in action
with different degrees of velociies and opennesses on this URL, just click
on the "13 inch hi-hats (sticks)" link when you are there:

Do I think right here or is it another way of gradually opening and closing
a hi hat "right" with a MIDI CC?
