hello Jostein, here are some more information about dealing with hihat openess in sfz format. First, a simple example with 3 layers : only trigger a sample depending on the pedal position. No crossfade between samples here. <group> key=42 locc4=65 hicc4=127 loop_mode=one_shot group=7 off_by=7 <region> sample=Wav/hihat_largeopen.wav volume=+40 ... <group> key=42 locc4=1 hicc4=64 loop_mode=one_shot group=7 off_by=7 <region> sample=Wav/hihat_smallopen.wav volume=+40 ... <group> key=42 locc4=0 hicc4=0 loop_mode=one_shot group=7 off_by=7 <region> sample=Wav/hihat_closed.wav volume=+40 ... Then to go further, i've been reading those two documents : SFZ specification from cakewalk http://www.cakewalk.com/DevXchange/article.aspx?aid=108 Linuxsampler SFZ reference https://docs.google.com/document/d/1UxPar5toq2uDrU4Gkf4jOGzV3ic-CAoRPo0cWE6xino/pub#h.137ceeca54ab To achieve crossfading between sample (as suggested in my previous email), i want to use the xfin_xx and xfout_xx opcodes. The above example would change to : <group> key=42 loop_mode=one_shot <region> sample=Wav/hihat_largeopen.wav volume=+40 xfin_locc4=65 xfin_hicc4=65 xfout_locc4=127 xfout_hicc4=127 <region> sample=Wav/hihat_smallopen.wav volume=+40 xfin_locc4=1 xfin_hicc4=1 xfout_locc4=64 xfout_hicc4=64 <region> sample=Wav/hihat_closed.wav volume=+40 xfin_locc4=0 xfin_hicc4=0 xfout_locc4=0 xfout_hicc4=0 ... Now, one can hear fading from a sample to another when moving the hihat pedal. But if you hit a closed sample, then release the pedal, you hear the opened hihat tail...not realistic. So my idea is to use envelope generator calibrated for each hihat openess sample. ampeg_xxx opcodes could be usable, but have been deprecated in linuxsampler, replaced by 'eg' opcodes Once defined for each sample, this envelope can then be modified by the pedal CC using the following opcodes : egN_volume_onccX, egN_amplitude_onccX, egN_levelX_onccY I'm still experimenting a lot with this setup, and i have little time to work on it, so no complete solution or working guarantees for now, and i'm opened to suggestions. Feel free to experiment by yourself. To answer your original question "Are someone aware of a decent Gig/SFZ sample player for Linux that can (or will) handle professional drum samples as described above?", I'd say that linuxsampler can absolutely do it, but it needs a lot of programming for a huge kit like NDK. I don't own the kit myself, but from what i've read on their website, those who buy the kit have access to a private forum, where i'm sure someone already has a sfz file implemented for linuxsampler.

What happens when you gradually lifts up or close the HH (very common in the real life), then the previous opened samples (while closing) will still ring. > > J. > > > > -- > Jostein Andersen - +46 73 6785 670 > jcamusic.se - facebook.com/jcamusicsweden > josteinandersen.se _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
