A call to arms! Midi files
Posted: Sat May 20, 2017 10:35 am
Now that DrumGizmo 0.9.14 has been released and we are slowly expanding our roster of drumkits, we've been discussing internally how to best present the kits to the users. How do we help YOU choose the kit you want to work with inside of DrumGizmo. As of now it is a bit of trial and error to find the kit that best suits any particular need, mostly relying on the text on the drumkit page and some pre-cooked samples we upload.
One thing we all agree on, is that samples are a definite plus when choosing a kit. Discussions regarding how exactly we're going to do that are ongoing, but for some initial input, we would like to invite you, our trusty userbase, to help us out a bit.
What we need are human recorded midi files (recorded by someone playing an electronic kit) with different types of beats and fills. The requirement for such files are that we are allowed to use them in any way we see fit. In other words, NO midi files from commercial products please! They need to be licensed in a way that allows us to redistribute them freely and even change them before doing so. We will of course add the authors to our special thanks list!
The basic idea here is that we might include renderings of each drumkit using bits of these midi files to allow for better judgment of the kits BEFORE committing to a huge download.
Interested in helping us out? Send any midi files to muldjordlars@gmail.com. Be sure to include details about the loop. Author, description, style, type, whatever you see fit! Also, if you do happen to have any restrictions on the use of your midi files, tell us about that aswell.
Thank you!
