I am needing a drumkit

[donnylad]

Hi all ,, I am trying to find a drumkit that has a different drum or percussion on every keyboard note E.G. C is a kick, D is a snare, E is a cymbal, F# is tom, but the only kits I have found are where all the sounds are individual instruments, can anyone help me here to find all the sounds on one sample please.

You already have one!
In zasfx you find the factory-preset "drums"
That preset is made exactly as you describe.
If that factory-preset is insufficient, then you can find sound-fonts with drumkits -They are exactly as zasfx[drums], but will typically have several patches, with various kits.
The GeneralUserSF2 Linked in useful resources has 9 drumkits -afair
zasfx[drums] has only 1

Hiya MB.. I sort of guessed you would reply buddy, and thanks for that, well I eventually went to Vst 4 free and downloaded a couple of good ones from there. They have quite a lot but I downloaded one which looked good but it had no sound, now when I looked in the folder that had the drumkits they were all .mse files, is that the reason and can I do anything about that or not?. also some of the downloads are 32 bit and I have a 64 bit comp, would it run a 32 bit please.
Thanks for your help.

Vst drumkits had no sound, the drumkits were all .mse files

Ok with VST-drumkits, it gets more complicated
Yes, .mse files wont play in LMMS, but they will in the drumkit-engine, and that why you need to use that, as a layer inside LMMS
(Unless the VST-builder just cheat you and rename ordinary wav-files with some 'fancy' extension.... some do that :p )

VST-drumkits are in essence a complete Beat(but-not-Bass)-Editor. It means that when you use a VST-drumkit, you really replaces LMMS's B&B-Editor, with some thing 'similar'
You can still use B&B, but in regard to your percussion, it would make no sense
So the usage starts with making sure, that you can trick the VST-drumkit-engine to

• Start

• Change program

• Stop

You also need to make sure that Program-changes are saved in your LMMS-project
All these will mostly be a question of LMMS-automation!

If you cant verify all above, you cant use the VSTdrumkit in LMMS!!!

After you made SURE! You set the VST-drumkit-engine's programs up, in the ways you like it variate through your project, after that ist all ' " Just " ' ... A question of starting at correct bar & beat, and to select the correct VST-program, for that section of your project... ' " Just " ' that.......... :p

Ok buddy, very informative so I will try to concentrate on the BnB editor. The reason I tried to use vst drumkits is because I am not too good at constructing beats and fills.
Thanks again. I am looking forward to my first chart topping tune, lets hope it does not take too long. .
