Hi Alexander!
I've had a nice long play with the Salamander drumkit tonight, I got
my own key layout, which anyone interested can find here:

Beyond the switching of the key layout I had to do one other thing
and that was to remove the seq_length=10 from the snare2off, since
that didn't allow me to really play it in my LinuxSampler. I got the
svn from yesterday, so it's new enough. :-)
I substituted the snare2off for the missing third (high) tom and it
works wonderfully.
Well after playing I can only say: The sun has risen and shone
brightly on me! ah, what a lovely sound and playbility! I might need
to reconsider the decision or too in my layout, but it is just pure
joy to play it, from metal to prog, rock and pop - I'm not good at
jazz :-( - I've done it all and not found it wanting. I'll probably
dream of drums tonight. :-)
Great job Alexander! It must have been a tremendous effort, to
record it and then clip it all to the correct sampling points and find
the right layering and everything. It's simply superb and yes now I
REALLY am looking forward to using it in one of my next pieces!
Enthsed rhythmics - aehm regards

Kind words :)
That "seq_length" isn't actually supposed to be there since the
indivudal samples are on hirand and lorand, that probably gives some
unexpected behaviour.. I found another bug too, with the bellchime;
"<region> sample=OH\bellchime_F_2.wav lorand=0.33 hirand=0.66s" <--
shouldn't be an 's' there
And, lovel=60 hivel=127, lovel shjould be 0.. or for a cleaner fix,
remove the opcodes completely.
I've also noticed an issue conserning the fact that I've normalized all
samples post export.. The problem is that the samples doesn't
necessarely fade to -inf, making some clicks and pops.. It's really only
noticable on the kick samples tho..
As far as the hihat go, you can add the closed samples to "group=1" then
they also mute the open hats.. for some reason it doesn't work on the
semiopen hats.. don't know if it's a bug or not... it has something to
do with them being on the same key however..
And another tomtom I don't have :P or I do have the 10" which is in the
picture, but it doesn't sound very good atm, I have to do some
maintanance work on it :P. You could simply let LS pitch one of the toms
by setting "pitch_keycenter=50" and "keycenter=52" that would make it
pitch a whole note.. I haven't tried it but it could work reasonably good...
