Re: [LAU] Wavedrum <--> Linux ?

So it is basically an instrument. As such you can connect it to any stereo audio input and record as any other instrument with the difference that the audio output is a bit touchy. There's a note that comes with it that explains how to boost the audio. The Wavedrum uses algorithms from Stanford University and Yamaha in order to add DSP recognition of the *audio* of the player hitting the drum skin. This is combined with traditional trigger-based input for PCM sounds. As such, the Wavedrum on stage can produce feedbacks like a microphone can. That's the bit of story behind the audio output difference with other instruments you record. The WD audio comes in two flavours, the standard one, which is kind of low compared to other instruments, and an augmented one accessible with a key sequence, which can produce higher output but maybe with some slight distortion near the top. Apart from that, a great instrument. Lots to explore in there. Algorithms and many parameters can be changed and stored. I still have lots of exploration to do with this. Cheers.
