Control individual sample volumes?

[Chazrox]

@d-healey Sorry I should be more clear. Yes, in real time and I want to present a slider knob per key. I want individual knobs for Kick, snare, clap, hat, etc. Thank you.

[d.healey]

@Chazrox I'd probably put each drum in a separate sampler, unless you have tons.

[rglides]

@d-healey yeah this 100%

[Chazrox]

@d-healey ok. My brain is trying to figure out how to call on all these different sample maps to 1 preset if I decide to do it this way with 12 samplers.

[d.healey]

@Chazrox Do you want to load different sample maps for different presets?

[Chazrox]

@d-healey Yes. with this approach I imagine,

12 samplers,

1. Kick
2. stick
3. snare 1
4. clap
   ..... and so on.

each sampler has x amount of hits in them depending on how many total kits are available.

12 drum kits = 12 hits per sampler.

I just want to the user to be able to control the volume of each type of drum (per "track/key") from the interface.

@Chazrox said in Control individual sample volumes?:

Yes. with this approach I imagine,

In what way does changing a preset need to affect which sample maps are loaded?

[rglides]

@Chazrox Just occupy one drum type with one sample in each sampler. Kick on note 1 in sampler1, Snare on note 2 in sampler2 etc. give each sampler its own gain knob (and any other effect you want) and simply add sliders connected to those effects in the UI.

@rglides David has a good tutorial on key switching that you can adapt to add a bunch of kick samples, for example, into one note in one sampler/samplemap and allow the user to toggle through them with a slider in the UI

@d-healey

example:

while typing this I see @rglides comment also and yes, thats what I imagine doing.

Im trying to understand that concept before I go and rebuild my entire plugin. haha.

Im kinda grasping the concept slowly as im typing this also. Let me see if I got this correct.

I would have 12 tracks/samplers, each loaded with 12 samples.
I assume I could use combo boxes to load the proper samples per the curated drum "kit' and
make sure the combo boxes 'save in preset'.

How does that sound? Im still fairly new to all of this so let me know if im being ambitious here. lol

@Chazrox

Kicks

• SamplerKick - Load 1 Kick sample onto note1
  - FX
  - SimpleGainKick - Add a slider in the UI to control this

Side Sticks

• SamplerSideSticks - Load 1 Side Stick sample onto note 2
  - FX
  - SimpleGainSideSticks - Add a slider in the UI to control this

Snare 1

• SamplerSnare1 - Load 1 Snare sample onto note 3
  - FX
  - SimpleGainSnare1 - Add a slider in the UI to control this

etc etc

• And to then have multiple kick samples in SamplerKick, load them all into note 1 as round robins and then have a knob in the UI to switch freely between them in real time - Watch David's key switching tutorial for this part

@rglides Thanks brother. Im gonna go watch that right now.

@Chazrox no worries! good luck with it
