I did experiment with the XML files trying to get this to work very simply, with only one kick drum sample, figuring I could add the rest later once I got things figured out. I'm certainly no XML expert, so I'm sure this is just a rookie screw-up on my part.
#Mt power drum kit 2 not recording reaper free#
I've got a ton of great samples in WAV format, from the free package available here: You're correct, what I'm after for now is "just a multi-velocity bank of kick samples". Once again, thanks so much, I really appreciate you taking the time to explain DrumGizmo in-depth! Here's a partial screenshot to give you an idea of my configuration, using a gate to trigger the kick drum. Probably the best thing for me to do now is to find additional instrument plugins for different sounds, similar to the "MT Power Drum Kit", which is a very nice sounding kit for openers. Having to add 16 tracks for that is way too cumbersome for what I'm trying to accomplish.
After doing that, I really think this thing is way overkill for what I'm trying to do, which is simple replacement on kick drum tracks. I've also tried what you suggested, loading it as a virtual instrument. Here's the results of that:ġ) Run as > Default - Results in a blank UI.Ģ) Run as > Separate process - This is the only mode I can get any sound out of it at all.ģ) Run as > Dedicated process - UI looks normal, but buttons do not work.Ĥ) Run as > Native only - Same result as #1, must be the default. Wow, thank you JamesPeters for that detailed explanation on DrumGizmo! I've had to read it several times to fully digest everything, but it's really helped me to understand how that plugin works.įYI, I've been playing around some more with it, first loading it as a normal plugin and changing the "Run as" setting. Sure sounds like my problem, eh? Anyone have any experience with checking and setting this up properly in REAPER? So please take your time to get these mappings set up!" But keep in mind that if you do not map these channels, you will most likely only hear the output of one of the ambience microphones and it will sound really bad. We can't describe this step since it varies depending on your software.
"NOTE: DrumGizmo uses several audio output channels, which should be mapped manually in your software, just like you would do with any other plugin. I think it must have something to do with the following, as noted in the README_VST.txt file which is part of the DrumGizmo ZIP: The thing I can't figure out with this plugin is that, although I am getting sound, it's extremely weak. I've set up my effects rack on the kick drum channel with the "JS: Audio To MIDI Drum Trigger" plugin feeding DrumGizmo, using the proper kick drum notes as mapped in each kit's MIDI map XML file. You're right, it looks like it would be a bit of a job to configure it to work with other samples, but at least there are 5 kits available on their web site: Thanks shosty, this is close to exactly what I'm looking for! The LV2 format seems to be becoming more and more popular these days and there are tons of other plugins out there, just do a bit of searching on Google. For example, if the kick drum track is lousy, set the gate to trigger on note 36 (kick drum).Ģ) Follow that with a good MIDI drum kit plugin (the ones above are excellent), and adjust things to taste. This comes in handy for drum replacement on unruly tracks that would require a lot of EQ, compression, etc., not to mention all of the tweaking involved, in order to come even close to the sound of good drum samples:ġ) Add the "JS: Audio To MIDI Drum Trigger" plugin (or your favorite gate plugin that has MIDI output capability). Using these and others, you can create sort of a "Poor Man's Drumagog". I miss being able to use these excellent LV2 drum kit plugins, that also come with Mixbus (which I've since abandoned in favor of REAPER): Hmmm can someone give examples of worthy plugins in this format?
