Here it is Percumat 2
asically made for backing drums & percussion not for dominating drumstuff. Anyway it has got some nice features ... see below

New GUI:

Please get from my download page:
http://www.hgf-synthesizer.de/se/dl/prdl.html

On this page you'll find more info and a demo track on the bottom of the page:
http://www.hgf-synthesizer.de/se/Percumat/Percumat.html



The basic principle is to set up 4 half bars with 8 beats which can be programmed to be played in varying succession via a dedicated 16 step sequencer per track.

Also you can determine a number of steps to be played so you might have 7/8, 6/8 or even 5/8 if you want furthermore there is an option to jump between the steps thus every 3rd or fith is played if wished.

updated 1.04
- MIDI Key trigger is in again (to be used Stop mode)
- MIDI Key Part/Slot Mute / UnMute via resp. keys of next octave
- internal Patch selector is now as more convenient popup


Each instrument slot features:
Instrument selector
switch for internal sf2 or wave files
Mute button
Decay knob
Pitch -/+ 1 oct
Pitch var(iation) with knob to determine it's amount -/+
Low & High EQ quites effecient to shape the sound
Pan
Delay send
Reverb send
Instrument level

Stereo delay (also delay out can be send to reverb)
Reverb is like in ASW
Stereo Flanger

for now there are 512 selected drum & percussionsounds inside but you can load wave files too.

have fun
HG

Some additional help wanted:
Many of the instrument names are like Kick 12 or Shaker 4 - this is not very descriptive. If there is somebody willing to turn these names into appropriate and catchy names he/she will get one HGFortune VSTi Synth of choice for free. Just contact me via mail, thanks.

Can't wait to try-- congrats! :)

This looks very juicy. Thanks HG!!! :love:

well, the complete seq controls have been rewritten as so most of the instrument slots too. thus it is also lighter on CPU than the former Lazy Percumat.

I think this different access via sequencing half bars does offer a more flexible way to put up drum/percussion tracks

:D

cheers

Thanks.. HGFortune.. I think very cool as you always do. and also 'different access' seems like HGFortune

Everything is good. but I hope it can play with midi too. and If possible.. 2 level accent at sequencing too(-9db).

I hope to play drums with your sound..

Works very nicely. The one thing I would like to see if possible is a volume lfo for each track with a sine wave with fairly long timing. The double sequencing on this is Fab. Thanks again.LK

Well, I was thinking about MIDI already :D

As of accent I'm thinking about having this not per step but instead adjustable to raise level per knob like it's done with Pitch variation already (on every step 1,3,5,7,9 etc. with slightly varying amount)

cheers

at first hand a volume lfo does sound fairly simple BUT the problem arises to have this set to different positions within the pattern seq in order to fade out one at a time and not all. This could be solved partly in linking two parts using the same LFO one controlled by inverted polarity then. Anyway this will give only one fades in while the other fades out. might be suited a few times but it's definitively not flexible enough. but having it more flexible would require a hell of a setup then with lots of mostly not used elements.
Maybe I come across an economic solution ...

Fantastic!!!

I feel now is the time have to start study Fortune's synths :oops:
You are a miracle man!

updated:
added: accent selector to each slot as stated above even with slight variaton on each resp. beat.
Let me know if selection 1 is really neccesary ;-)
I think selection 2 will do - keeps things some way simpler then :D

have fun

Acccent 1 and 2 seems much same, but 2 is better feeling.
I don't know cause just volume. I think one is need.
If 1 & 2 has same dynamic, 1 is better.

- I am wrong.. 2 is more big dynamic... 2 is more important, but 1 may need

and How about this.

Accent 1&2 are (A 2 B 4) type per 8note 1bar, but (1 A 3 A) off beat type also good. It can be used for snare or hat at uptempo

and can think Accent variation

updated:
reworked accent: mode 1 now on 1,3,5,7... mode 2 on 2,4,6,8 ... (for uptempo)
added MIDI note & velocity control for each slot on note #s 36,38,40,41,43,45
best used when machine is at stop or pause

have fun

Hi..HG .. I have to sleep now..

mode 2 is some wrong.. If level is 1(nomal),2,3,4
mode 1 was 4121,3121 (4232 = A2B4)
so mode 2 have to 2141,2141 (2424 = 1A3A)
so at double temp, hat can be xx4x,xx4x

well, bugs fixed within the accent system. The accent is 'hardwired' i.e. connected to the resp. steps. (anyway I've to look for some means to suppress incidental double beat on start ... which might lead to the impression the accent is not on spot - simply follow the LED to check.)

cheers
HG
