Hello Sebastian,
A few weeks ago when discussed on the LAD a few enhancements for
Hydrogen, one of them was to be able to switch between open, half-open
and closed hihat samples when playing with the hihat foot control on
an E-Drum.
In this fork
https://github.com/blablack/hydrogen I worked out the
basic backend solution:
- instruments can be set to be part of a hihat
- if they are, they have a range associated that say to what level of
foot control pressure they react
- in the midi_input class, when a 'note on' is received, the method
will check if the instrument is a hihat, check the foot pressure and
change the note played to the one of the right hihat instrument if needed
I still need to modify the GUI (at the moment I need to change the xml
of the drumkit to be able to set that up), but if you could have a
look at this to give me some feedback that would be great.
Thanks in advance,
Aurélien
Hi Aurélien!
This looks great! I have no midi pedal here to make a "real" test, but
the code looks good. I'm not sure if the gui should stay this way or if
we should reorganise all midi settings in a complete new window/dialog,
but it is a pretty good for the moment. I will merge it as soon as the
next release candidate is released and a new development path (for whats
becoming 0.9.7) has been created.
Best regards,
Sebastian
