Excuse me, where to download this small kit?

Just a few posts under the large kits in the Audioshot forum.

Thanks Paul.

PS. RMIV is awesome.

Salvador, would you happen to have a screenshot for the mapping of Kit-2 as well?

RMIV? Is this kit available for RMIV?!? Where? Link?

Hmpf, remapping this stuff manually for the EXS is a true PITA... hopefully Kontakt will load the EXS patches then.

I just finished a manual remap of Drumkit1 for DK+, and I must say, I found it a breeze!

When I finish Drumkit2, I will upload them for DK+ users.

VSampler works the same way. I had to modify some of the patches because VSampler didn't import correctly (GSCW kit #2, perf cymbal). The envelopes were too short (a few ms of hold and release) and when I was ready to save, there were only two options: save in VSampler format or export as a soundfont.

I don't know why but I was persuaded that it was in Kontakt format. Now, I can even use Extreme Sample Converter to convert in other formats, a thing impossible with Kontakt 2 format. The same for VSampler...

I tried the ESC demo to convert to SF2 and it does a pour job.. You have to hold the keys....not good!
Vienna would have been a good choice for doing a SF2 version but I'm not in the mood for a AUDIGY installed in my DAW....

I finally succeed (I think!) to export a not so bad sf2 of your kit using VSampler. I had to tweak a little bit the envelopes to set the release and the sustain correctly and now, it sounds ok (not as clear as the 24 bit Halion version though).

If you allows me, I can upload this sf2 somewhere.

EDIT: I also made a DR-008 patch working this way: VSampler - export to sf2 - Import in Awave Studio Demo and save as DR8 patch (I don't know if it is legal to use a demo version of Awave to publish a patch made with it however...).

Really I do not know how to do it yet. I'll investigate.

I don't suppose anyone has a mapping for Akai S5/6000 for these?
Many thanks for this BTW - free? Totally amazing!

Bleed:
The Samples were done like this!!
To avoid CUP loss! Each sample is a stereo mixdown of 7 mics..
Not CPU hungry at all
All samples were recorded with lots of velocities.
The Snare drum on kit one has about 20 layers. Even the cymbals are 4 to 8 sample per key!

I was a little afraid of that. I hav not used the drum kit yet so it might not be my place, but i have recorded real drums often enough. My concern is; the ammount of bleed depends on the way the kit is mixed. there might be instances where I am looking for a very dry tight kit sound, others a big roomy sond. the over heads play a vital role in this, the levels at which they are kept... The tom mics might often be gated. So no bleed here.

With the bleed mixed into the sample we do loose this flexibility... I think BFD lets you set this or am I mistaken ? My concern arises from the fact that i often need to sequence drums for hard rock/metal songs... But maybe i'm just getting paranoid.

p.s. i am in no way underestimating this kit... just voicing my thoughts..

[Sidhu]

I would like to burn this set to DVD/CD.. would it possible for us to get a high resolution CD cover pik in Jpeg for printout ? would make it look real wicked!

Sidhu

mmmmmmm! I'll see! hope you want it for back up and for show, right!!!?
Anyways! I'm sure they will ask you for a copy! Just don't sell them..

Thanks Giro! No way i'll sell this kit! (thats a thought... ) And if someone wants it, ill direct them to Audioshot... Yep! for looks.... lemme know. Im at 99% now!

huh! there are 2 kits and extra cymbals in the new full download library!

There are 2 downloads in my auditorium threads.
A demo kit and the full free kits..... enjoy

Kit #1 has 2 toms and Kit #2 has 3 toms.. The same 13"x13" tom placed on where the 12" should be!(Tom Special) This one is the 13" tom re-tuned as a 12".. no pitching of the samples.

I will post HALion2 visuals Maps of the 2 drum kits soon for remapping.

Salvador, would you happen to have a screenshot for the mapping of Kit-2 as well?

Working on it
