Great update! Thank you especially for listening to our requests and adding the analog style oscillator!

I hate it when I find newsletters in my spam folder that I KNOW I subscribed to. C’mon Outlook!

Never received a newsletters either but DrumComputer is a beast.

Drums are overestimated!

Hear my tracks and you'll understand

But seriously: I don't like that several threads are created about the same topic.
Therefore this extra bump...

I wish DrumComputer could use samples. Anyone know if you can use it's sequencer to control other software/hardware?

I think it's sequencer has all the right features in it and would love to see it as a standalone drum sequencer or as a new sample based product without any synth engines. Or SugarBytes could just add another sample based engine.

When I was demoing a trial version of DrumComputer 1.0, that was the very first thing I attempted to do. Using the zones, you can map the MIDI keys of the eight drum sounds, but it is not as flexible as I would like. Check out my post back on page 6 of this thread: viewtopic.php?p=7600034#p7600034

Somewhat unrelated (but still interesting) is a post from Sugar Bytes (at the bottom of the same page) regarding inter-operation between the Factory and DrumComputer products: viewtopic.php?p=7600409#p7600409

EDIT: From the user manual, it looks like DrumComputer can import samples via either of two particular oscillator types (wavetable and resynth):

You can indeed import samples into the wavetable and resynth engines, but be aware that this isn't the same as loading a sample into a sampler. This is not a bad thing since the wavetable and resynth engines can do very interesting things with user samples.

Also, note that MIDI out doesn't just send notes but also CC messages.

Thanks for pointing that out.

Well, at least there is a way to control other software. I might have to download the demo to try out. Maybe I can figure out a way to get it to control XLN Audio XO. I really like the extremely quick sample searching and easy sequence/groove creation XO has, but the sequencer isn't as full featured as DrumComputer.

Does DrumComputer export midi, either the whole midi file (with all the drum tracks) or individual drum tracks?

I haven't tried Sugar Bytes other sequencers like Consequence, Thesys or Egoist. So I'm not sure how good they are for drum sequencing. Maybe Egoist might be the most suited for drums out of the bunch. Though if the midi ability for controlling external software is the same, then I guess there would be no reason to go with any of those over DrumComputer for sequencing drums.
