Re: [LAU] Playing lilypond midi drum files with synth/sampler

Hi, Like you can know, Timidity has a basic mapping of 47 notes - 46 if we count the two kicks: Acoustic Bass Drum (bda) and BassDrum1 (bd) for one - which follows (I think) the General Midi mapping. For Hydrogen there are only 32 notes available in a drumkit which begin from c1 to a4 (I'm not sure if I recall right) Well. Now you have started Hydrogen. And then Rosegarden for instance. You have checked out your connections in qjackctl (Alsa and audio) for me in Alsa 3:out1-General MIDI Device -> Hydrogen Midi-in in Audio Hydrogen Out_L and Out_R -> system and don't forget in the Hydrogen's pattern editor to press the little icon - a red 0 in the middle of panel RECORDING - it becomes completely red. Start your Lilypond file. You listen to your file. But depending of your midi file and your drumkit you are surprised with the result. Yeah! Sometimes it's funny. Because there isn't a whole correspondence beetween the General Midi of your Lilypond midi file and the Hydrogen drumkit. If you're interested I've made a drumkit in two parts (in fact 2 drumkits ) for Timidity Timidity-part1 = 32 notes Timidity-part2 = 14 remaining notes and a conversion of the timidity's samples in wav. It's a good start before you improve the quality of the samples. I assume you know how to install a drumkit. I'll can put them on my site for some days. (~7 Mo) Cheers.
