I trying to figure out a method of doing contemporary
drums, where I can
edit in a matrix like environment but then get separate Jack outputs for
each drum to allow for DSP'ing. I currently use Rosegarden synced to Ardour.
Rosegarden will not allow splitting notes to different channels - though
Muse does, but that means I have to run both (I don't know if they'll play
happy together). I revisited hydrogen again recently, but it won't load gig
or sf2, as far as I can see (Has some nice kits though). I like the idea of
using Linuxsampler to do drums but I can't see a way of directing one drum
to one engine / output and another to another. I feel like there is a simple
solution here that I'm missing, it must be a very common requirement in
digital audio. Anyone got any suggestions ?
At the moment the most advanced drum machine is Hydrogen. You can run up
to four ladspa plugins with that interface and attach it to jack-rack to
get more fx in the mix. However it doesn't allow for samples to be sent
to jack over independant tracks.
Still you can do quite a lot with the above setup if you apply some
tricky panning and EQing etc...
It may also be possible to run multiple hydrogens at one time and sync
with jack transport but I haven't tried it.
Cheers.
