Hi Christian, I'm verry sorry for the late reply. I had to much to do and the last week and a half has been dedicated to fluefighting.

The ride is tricky, because different parts of the ride can give noise at the same time (IE. bell and edge). But in the real life,the ride's context will usually be in a mix, so I think that a new hit it should mute the previous one, but let it decay over let's say 60-100 ms or something. >> 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.

So I still have to experiment with that these days If I recall right, the Big Mono kit from Analogue Drums have three degrees of openess for the HH and it's free of charge: http://www.analoguedrums.com/details-bm.php And it sounds great too! :-) > Before I commited this change, I discussed it with Andreas, because I was > unsure about it as well.

A dynamic and natural HH really demands that the previous sample are muted when it gets a new hit. Maybe a Linuxsampler specific opcode or two will fix that? Is it possible to do somthing like this in stead of having nomuting as default: A global flag (ls_nomute=yes (default?)) and an override opcode that is valid in a region (ls_nomute=no) ? I think that this way, Linuxsampler can handle a "real" drumset. Jostein ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Everyone hates slow websites. So do we.
