Hi all, Drumlabooh 12.2 is here!
Homesite: Drumlabooh: Free VST3i/LV2 drum machine for Linux and Windows
In the new version, the HP/LP filters available from the effects section have been tidied up. Also fixed a crash that occurred when trying to load SFZ kits whose parameters Drumlabooh doesn’t fully support (horizontal rather than vertical round-robin layers).
Fixed the display of the drum kit name on the panel below the drum kit list.
When hovering over an instrument slot, it now shows not only its MIDI mapping but also the number of layers or samples loaded into the slot.
Two new drum kits - “Sopromat” and “Avangard” - should fully cover the need for punchy “analog” and electronic drums in the spirit of sampler and synthesizer sounds from the 90s. Breakbeat, big beat, trip-hop, all kinds of techno, goa/psychedelic trance - any combination of such genres, though nothing prevents you from using the new kits in rock as well.
“Sopromat” contains over 600 high-quality samples within a standard drum kit arrangement - kick, snare, hi-hats, and so on. Around 90 sound variations for each instrument.
“Avangard” is a non-standard drum kit leaning towards a synthetic and industrial sound. Over 700 samples.
Drum kits give any drum machine a sense of self-sufficiency. Drumlabooh was originally developed for conveniently creating drum parts directly in a DAW by quickly selecting drum kits of different formats installed on the system - Drumlabooh, Hydrogen, and to some extent SFZ. The collection of Drumlabooh-format kits consisted of about 30 kits featuring public domain samples from old and rare drum machines, as well as “live” drum kits like JazzKit, Sixties Basic, and the lighter Sixties Rock.
“Sopromat” and “Avangard” are a vast expansion of the palette for electronic music producers, and beyond.
Stay tuned, Peter Semiletov
