Oh, my, thanks. I used to play, I started on drum kit. I'm really studying great drummers these days.

There will be a logical tree to the MIDI file structure. I'll get as many details as I can leading into the release, and check that future content highlight features in a noticeable way. Thanks!

MODO DRUM will certainly work with e-drums as input. I have passed along requests for specific mappings and such to the team, but it should work well right out of the box.

I have no issue with marketing in general but I do like to get into the details before taking the plunge especially given how many drummers I have purchased and are alive and kicking on my rig.

I will certainly pass that request, but currently we do not have a finalized manual to post. Thanks!

There's a damp control but I don't believe we have settings like "wallet" or "duct tape" etc I've requested some more detail on the damp control, and will let you know more details when I have them.
There should be extensive A/B testing on this and enough parameters to achieve all those authentic dampening behaviors. Otherwise it negates the advantage of PM instead of samples.

It should also be per kit piece. Each Tom and Snare should have exclusive damping parameters.

There are damping options per drum for the toms (top and resonant heads) and snare (top only, resonant head damping is naturally "dampened" via the snares).

From https://www.ikmultimedia.com/products/mododrum/

For every drum in the kit, you can adjust the skins, tuning, and damping. Then adjust the diameter, the height and the shell profile of the drum itself.

So are the cymbals some kind of mix of physical modeling and sampling? Are there effectively infinite round robins on the cymbals as well?

Round robins on the cymbals?

The cymbals are sampled.

So the infinite round robins apply to only the kick, toms and snare then? How many round robins are there for cymbals. I guess a lot since there's 20gb of cymbal samples? There's no hybrid tweakability there?

We mention it in the news piece, but it is easy to miss. We're looking at August for the prices to revert, which is when we expect to release. Thanks!
Thanks Peter. This gives me plenty of time!!

Peter do you have a specific date in august when the pre-orders end. Is it the 1st or?

benjamind · Post by **benjamind** » Tue Jun 25, 2019 2:33 am

I guess we will get an answer regarding the round robins for the cymbals soon

20GB is a LOT of cymbal samples. 10GB is a lot never mind 20GB.

Holy Hobs of Hell! The "intro" price on this is more than I paid for a Maschine Mikro and the gazillion gigs of drums that come with it. It seems a tad overpriced, doesn't it? After all, it's just drums.

If you buy this and already own MODO BASS you might be able to buy MODO GUITAR at a heavily discounted price when it is eventually released.

That's how I think of it. A rock band literally in a box

Please, let users rename those drumkits, as well as the bass models in MODO Bass with a "reset to default name" option. We want these instruments have their "original" names in our workstations. Thanks in advance.

This may be the greatest post I've ever read
