Vitalium has no MIDI learn?

Hi all,

Am I just blind or does Vitalium not have the MIDI learn functionality of Vital? Actually, I have both, but Vital doesn't work within my Ardour (Vitalium does), but there is no MIDI learn menu item when right clicking controls like in Vital. Or am I just missing something?

lg,
Michael

Re: DGPatchMaker, a graphical tool for creating DrumGizmo patches from sample libraries

There is PDF in each of the patches which describes the installation. Basically, you download the kits, unpack them, unpack the DrumGizmo patches and copy the unpacked DRUMGIZMO folder into the folder of the kit. The PDFs should list how the directory tree should look like.

Hm, I just saw, that they did disappear from https://libremusicproduction.com/news/20190213-two-high-quality-drumkits-drumgizmo.html . There was also a kit on the drumgizmo site, but it was not linked anywhere and I currently cannot find it either. The SM Mega Reaper Kit can be found here: https://w...

Re: DGPatchMaker, a graphical tool for creating DrumGizmo patches from sample libraries

@Bella

This is nice to hear and also good feedback!

Indeed, it is quite stable from a "crashing" point of view, that's exactly why I wrote it in Haskell. Just handling GTK in the user interface is always a bit quirky and most instability comes from there.

Anyway, thanks!

Re: DGPatchMaker, a graphical tool for creating DrumGizmo patches from sample libraries

@Bella: you are welcome!

I think sharing of knowledge is often important so that it doesn't get lost (or bitrot in some git repository :D ).

DGPatchMaker, a graphical tool for creating DrumGizmo patches from sample libraries

Hi all, DGPatchMaker is now open-sourced for quite some time, but got some polish in the last weeks again. I also added some documentation and an introductionary video. What is DGPatchMaker? It is a graphical tool to create drumkits for DrumGizmo for existing sample libraries. Creating the XML files...

Re: Spitfire Audio free sample libraries

This looks rather interesting. I was unable to download their app however. Their system seems to recognize that I'm not running Mac/Win and offers a dialog box that says "Download other". However, clicking that does nothing. There is also an option to download the Mac/Win app,but that too...

I could not even get past login, says just 'something went wrong' Edit: ok, login worked after a while, but downloading fails also https://youtu.be/xqlFKL1B3WY Oh, ok, sorry, forgot about this.

Re: liftoff (instrumental metal)

Hi all, I wrote/recorded this one recently: https://soundcloud.com/modusjonens/liftoff/ My playing is still rough at spots, but I don't mind a touch of "organic" sound coming from small flubs as long as there aren't too many. Actually, I think your playing is fine. Sure you can always get...

Re: Some programming notes: C++ 11 features

I've been working with some code that used modern techniques. The new C++11 (OK it's been a few years now) meaning of the 'auto' keyword is amazing ! 'Auto' has been around for decades but nobody, including me, has ever really used it. Yeah, take a look at Haskell. Every time I get back to C++ I mi...

Re: Saturation

That's strange. I've never had a saturation plugin make drums punchier. It's normally the opposite. But then you say it's also good to tame transients, which is the opposite of making drums punchy. I've never tried the Calf one though so maybe it can do both things? I find high transients more &quo...

Re: ardour: drumgizmo midimap doesn't work

Hey, I'm using ardour with drumgizmo as drumplugin. Although I loaded the corresponding midimap.xml file to the drumgizmo plugin it doesn't show the name of the instrument - see screenshot. It only shows the note 'F#2' Unfortunately, that is not how Ardour and Drumgizmo work. The midimap file is on...

Re: Saturation

What open source saturation plugins do you like? In what circumstances do you find them useful? Calf Saturator. It's a fixed part of my master bus as well as on quite a lot of tracks (as you can see in my videos [1]). It makes drums punchier, warms certain instruments (piano, strings, synths), can ...
