yet another drum replacing thread

[John_C]

Sorry for all these, but i'm hitting a lot of problems recently.

I used drumtracker to convert my snare track to MIDI, and it looks fine in MIDI. But when i get drumagog to trigger from it, notes get added and missed out all over the place. How can it get MIDI wrong.....it just makes no sense.

Anyway, basically what i'm looking for is a way to trigger multisamples from MIDI without it messing up. Aptrigga seems the obvious choice, but if there any other suggestions i'd be interested.

Or if there's some trick to stop drumagog stop being crap with MIDI ofc that would be good too

thanks in advance

John

you can use reasamplomatic if you're using reaper- its free with it.
You can also use grizzly or shortcircuit, both free vsti's you can find on the web pretty easily.

They should be perfect for the job- you load up your sample and it triggers it with midi.

 

[John_C]

those won't provide any sort of sequencial or random multi sample playing will they?

 

[AudioGeekZine]

you're probably looking for Battery. It will let you play random and layered samples

Is Drumagog triggering strangely because of what you're feeding it? I use this same method for sample augmentation and it works fine for me. Drumagog is always on the right hits. The only thing I don't know is how to alter its sensitivity or recognize different velocity layers of MIDI.

Why not just using "drumagog" to do the job. MIDI out enabled, choose the right MIDI channel and note, open a MIDI track with drumagog as input and hit record. Drumagog will write different velocities as output and read it backwards. Works fine in cubase.

i'm feeding it hits all of velocity 127, no dynamic range at all. There are no errors in the MIDI itself, i checked very thoroughly (hours of life i will never get back )

Yeah no multi samples or layers with those programmes I stated

 

[John_C]

I've been searching around and it seems the number of programs that support multisamples is actually quite limited

 

[if6was9]

Yeah, most are geared towards electronic and dance guys that don't really have a need for multi sampling, only a few by actual companies seem to allow whwat we need in that department

The workaround for drumagog would be to trigger another instrument with the midi , disable the master output on that track and send it to a another track with drumagog instead.
I don`t know, you might get some latency issues though - at least you can use your multisamples.

good thinking! i think that may well be the solution

thanks

 

[John_C]

Yup, that worked perfectly, thanks a lot
