Do you use hydrogen or midi to make drum parts for your songs?
midi (muse) and samples (specimen)
Are there nice drum hydrogen files available? where?
Are there nice drum midi files available? Where?
Ok, this made me download hydrogen and indeed it has some nice kits
(each within it's own directory, most of them wav). I also had a few
collections of samples of old drummachines laying around, which made me
play around with specimen.
So I wrote the attached python-script, that simply makes a .beef
(specimen file) from all .wav-files in a directory. It'll assign every
sample on a new note chromatically from a given note (default is 36), so
it's mostly useful for drums.
I think it's gonna allow me to make noise more easily :-) I post it here
in the hope others might find it useful too...
