Re: [linux-audio-dev] Drum synth

RANT TIME (to everyone but dmitry ;). Everytime i talk about a drum synth people point me to a sampler. i think i've worked out what a sampler is for by now or they point me to a modular. Samplers are wonderful but for drums i want both because some flexibility is really nice, i.e being able to change decay and tone just on the fly and tell how it sound with the other elements of the track or slowly change aspects of the drums duing the track, like in Sultan or GPal's tracks. Really i've tried drums in SSM, etc however it's just not quite as useful as a TR808 or drumatic. A) it doesn't sound good B) horrible UI and C) doesn't run too well on my machine (650mhz P3 laptop) Is anybody who writes the great collection of modulars keen on coding a useful synth in one of them? Something along the lines of an Access virus or JP8080 might be handy. Also a bass synth of some discription might be nice too.
