I had some time to play with MDrummer now, and after some initial difficulties, I love it. The rhythm generator is so much fun to play with, and I can spend a hours just listening to the different rhythms it creates and how they sound with different drum sets.
I'm just having trouble using the it together my other VSTs.
I prefer to do the mixing in my DAW and layer the sounds of different instruments, so I use the 16out version of MDrummer, which works great, but is tedious to setup. I have to select the out channel for each drum. If I switch the drum set, the out channels gets reset and I have to do it over again.
What I would like is the option to output each track in the mixer sequentially. So Bass Drum 1 would be out1, Bass Drum 2 would be out2, Snare Drum 1 would be out3 etc. These could be either fixed mappings, so Bass Drum 2 would always be out2, even if the drum set doesn't have a second bass drum, or maybe always map the second track in the mixer to out2 regardless of the instrument that's playing. I'm not sure which would be better without trying it.
Since there are potentially more than 16 tracks, it would be great if MDrummer got get extended to 32 (stereo) outputs. That way, I can add MDrummer with 32 tracks in my DAW and delete the ones I don't need which would be much quicker.
I would love if it became easier to make MDrummer work seamlessly with other VSTs
MDrummer32out with automatic output mapping would be nice

Drumset editor/Presetve output channels (and other options)
32-channel version is not really planned, but we can think about it. You know, it would be one more plugin in a huge set, and useful for like 0.00001% of users

Thanks, that makes my life a lot easier. I was looking for these settings in the mixer.MeldaProduction wrote: Fri Nov 10, 2023 11:30 am Drumset editor/Presetve output channels (and other options)
I don't want another version either. I was kind of hoping, you'd be able to increase the channels on the normal MDrummer plugin without breaking backwards compatibility. If that's not possible, I'll make the 16out version work for me. No worries.MeldaProduction wrote: Fri Nov 10, 2023 11:30 am 32-channel version is not really planned, but we can think about it.
