Hi,

Just passing along this screencast of the new AVL Drumkits LV2 plugin in Ardour 5.5 created by Robin Gareus:

Huge thanks to Robin for taking the AVL Drumkits to the next level!

That's amazing, thanks to both of you for the work you do.

The video mentions debian distro packaging. Thanks to Mira, this is underway, but currently caught in the debian freeze (for upcoming stable).

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugrepo ... bug=849786 -- However if you're interested to meanwhile create a derived .deb package for some pro-audio distro, https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-mul ... ms.lv2.git might be helpful.

I watched the video and am very excited for this. It looks fun to use, and the drum samples sound quite good. I can't wait to try it out. Thank you!

Hi,

Thanks for the comments

Hope they don't mind.. I imported the package into the kxstudio repos.

Haha! I was going to PM you today about that, you read my mind. Thanks, that is great news.

I just love the way people work together on these things.
The only point of frustration for me is that I just don't 'get' percussion. My best efforts are more likely to put you to sleep than liven you up

anyway of getting the tarball or source so I can try on Arch?

You can try them on any Linux by grabbing the binaries on Robin's site: http://x42-plugins.com/x42/x42-avldrums

create a '.lv2' folder in your home and copy them there, you may have to add a /home/<YOURUSERNAME>/.lv2 path to the host DAW you are using.

Well done x42 and GMaq!

That demo video was spot on too btw, I didn't realize all the cool features that had been added to ardour to make these integrate so nicely. Its going to be hard to use any other kits now knowing how easy it could be!

Thanx Glen. Can't wait to try.

Oh yeah, how rude of me? Awesome job done by you guys even though I haven't tried it yet but going by the video I'm already in love.

Hi, thanks for taking the time and effort to do that

Does that mean that we can expect in the future something like :

[bunch of good samples] -> [AVL formatting] -> [x42 magic mojo] -> [my awesome ultimate drumkit] ?

(and how ?)

Hi stanlea,

Well I don't know about 'other' outside drumkits, there is a plan at some point in the future to re-record/resample the AVL Kits completely and double the velocity layers and use the same base of samples to create Drumgizmo kits. Before that I would like to also take a look at doing a really good set of percussion for Linux (Congas, Bongos, Cajon, Djembe etc.). I can't speak for Robin, his magic mojo is always at work

Personally the kits as they are answer all my needs but to expand into Drumgizmo's format they will need to be re-recorded with multiple mics simultaneously at some point. Miking is easy... preparing the kits, sample editing and formatting are the time consuming parts.
