*a flam is a double stroke where the first hit happens a little earlier
than the second one which is on tempo.

evenly divided in two equal duration, so for example a 1/16 step will
trigger two notes of 1/32 each. The two trigger have the same sound level
(velocity). This it useful to create rolls quickly.

The features sound excellent. Can't wait until it's released to see what DK+ can do. Are you going to post any mp3 demos of it in action?

[jtxx000]

what's with the two blank boxes between download demo and purchase?


oh, and is it all the way done now? can i have my copy?

Tried the demo of DK+. It's a very nice drum sampler indeed. Easy to use with great features. I couldn't get the decay knob to work though. Is it supposed to set the length of the sample or is it for use with mute groups?
