drumkv1

I've modified the .ui files (attached in waveform-expand.zip) for DrumkV1 and SamplV1 so that when the window is maximized, the waveform expands to its maximum. It's not only useful, but also aesthetically pleasing.

It would also be helpful if the "Elements" and "GEN1" had a QSplitter to further expand the waveform once you're focused on working with a specific element... but I haven't been able to achieve this yet.

1.) Switch DCA on, set Volume knob (the leftmost knob) to 0, switch DCA off: sound is still silent according to Volume knob although the knob is greyed out. To my understanding volume should be at 100% when DCA is off.

But I recommend not to change the behaviour for backward compatibility with existing sessions. It might break a mix. Maybe the Volume knob should not be greyed out when switching DCA off to show that is still in effect.

Now you can create samples and Kits for drumkv1 in seconds.
Play your synthesizer and a preset will be automatically generated. This includes both percussion and melodic instruments.
Run the script in your terminal and follow the instructions.

Tested on PipeWire

Dependencies:

If there were an option to link the start and end points, we could set a duration.

This would allow for easy navigation through samples that contain multiple samples (loops, recording snippets, multi-instrument samples) in the same file.
It would serve a similar function to split-based samplers.

Hi, I really like drumkv1, but I have absolutely no idea how to create my own drum kit with it. There are no tutorials, except for one on YouTube where I have to use some scripts. Isn't it possible to create my own kit directly with drumkv1 after loading my own samples?

Hi Rui, I'm back again after a while. :)

I wanted to mention a couple of things:

1. I've solved the problem of dragging and dropping files from Samplv1.lv2 and Drumkv1.lv2 by editing the .ttl file corresponding to the UI and leaving only the lv2#ui_external version.

It seems to work well in Qtractor, Ardour, and Muse. I'm sharing this trick in case it's useful to someone else. (Enabling the option to select different UIs in Qtractor was cumbersome.)

I set BPM to the smalles value and Rate to 0 to simulate a static value.
It looks as if it's restarted with each note on, so I get always the high value.

Then I use the LFO envelope's Pitch to move the tuning up and slowly back to the original value.

Is this the recommended way?

What is the Sweep parameter for?

What do they do exactly? I cannot find controls like threshold, ratio, attack and release.

Is the limiter just a volume normalizer? What settings does the compressor use?

Message to my past self:
Don't worry, in the not-too-distant future, you'll finally find drum kits for Drumk1 online. They're also under a public domain license.

You'll create them yourself.

...

I hope they'll be useful to someone else.
Best regards.

The following feature would allow for much more fluid kit customization.

It would allow:
1_
Being able to listen to sample previews in folders without having to use an external player.
2_
Customize kits in a fast and intuitive way.

Functionality:
If you press [Control] on an already loaded sample in the sample list and roll the mouse wheel, the next/previous sample in the folder is loaded and can be listened to by activating the MIDI controller.
