- | The following is a prioritized feature request list for the DrumGizmo Drumkit editor. First on the list has highest priority: | ||
- | ====Not yet implemented==== | ||
- | * Export to single file with multiple channels for future disk-stream feature preparation. | ||
- | * The possibility to click on the circles in velocity view, which will then select the corresponding selection in waveform view. | ||
- | * Save all energy levels to the .xml file. If no energies are detected when loading a kit → autogenerate. | ||
- | * Use right-click on waveform view to listen. Stop playing when mouse button is released. | ||
- | * Use right-click on velocity view to play x ms of each sample from where you clicked all the way until the mouse button is either released, or the end is reached. Mark each sample circle yellow as it is played. | ||
- | * When the two above are implemented, | ||
- | * Allow the manipulation of more than one selection at a time using a common ctrl+mouseclick or by dragging the mouse across one or more selections. With more selections selected, when resizing, all selected selections should resize accordingly. | ||
- | * Add the possibility to move selections around freely in velocity view. This allows the user to override the calculated energy for a selection if it is wrong. | ||
- | * A one-click button that automatically spreads out all currents hits evenly over the velocity span. This is potentially a bad idea, but great for those who know how to use it. This is mostly about making things " | ||
- | * Implement fader instead of sample multiplier. | ||
- | ====Already implemented==== | + | Great Ideas for Drumgizmo to make it more fun and stuff |
- | | + | |
- | * The possibility | + | |
+ | first of all : thanks to all the team, and all the ppl involved in the dev, test, and making kits, this soft is a gem in this music business i really hope that i can became a real good alternative for independant musicians and even pro people and studios. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Here are all ideas i gathered while using it, i think the core of the soft is GREAT and when you understood how its works, it’s a powerfull tool. | ||
+ | |||
+ | But it has this nerdy aspect, that a lot of Linux Opensources softs have, which i think prevent a lot of « casual » people to use it, i thats too baaad because it’s has so much power. | ||
+ | |||
+ | So, here are the ideas:) | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | change the knobs labels to real names : instead of pRandom or pClose, use more understading names to make the soft clearer. | ||
+ | |||
+ | - since EzDrumer and Superior Drummers are the reference in this domain, maybe use a pretty drumkit picture when loading a drumkit, i know it’s not that much important, but, it’s a soft dedicated to musicians, not engineers. So i think we can make it more eye candy and clearer. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | - something amazing would be to be able to switch only a part of the drumkit. For example the snare or the kick. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | In order to do it, instant | ||
+ | |||
+ | And to go further, we could even use different mics to be on the top of the game haha. | ||
+ | |||
+ | I thinks this doesn’t need dat much programming (thats a big part yea, but it’s not complex in term of algorithms, if the bank is correctly set, it’s just chaging somes adresses to pick the rights samples ) | ||
+ | It’s more complex | ||
+ | |||
+ | - Instead of dowloading an archive with sound samples, maybe create a DG archive format, « .dgz » for instance, and load this whole file in the soft. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Then the soft will get the wav files inside, locate the midimaps availables and stuff. Once again it’s just more convenient for casual user. | ||
+ | |||
+ | - Not software related, but the website its not very welcoming. I think a good website could help a lot to get more people involved. I know i might talk like a start-up nation guy, and that this soft is made for « fun » by you. But i find this too bad that it doesent have the recogniztion its deserves. So yup a good website ‘like the CALF suite for instance could be really cool ! Featuring sounds demos, tutorials, samples songs with mixed drums, etc. | ||
+ | |||
+ | - Even in social medias, there is nothing about it. Maybe it’s your decision | ||
+ | |||
+ | To conclude yea, this soft is like and old rusty car with a brand new V8 engine inside. Its has the potential to become huge in term of use and utility (featuring a big community of drumkits sampes makers). It’s just need a proper V1 release version with all the comestics, videos, tutorial, that people need to use it properly !: | ||
