Thanks a lot, guys. I'll see if I can think of a way to reorganize the instrument to better fit a tree-like structure. Looking forward to play more with this :)

Thanks - I also got that impression. I am generally very impressed with everything I've seen so far :)

I've depicted the general concept of our advanced snares here:

In Kontakt we have a group for each sample (= each of the RR-X cells), but I haven't found out how to create such entities in Hise. I've only been able to assign samples directly to keys, with velocity ranges and round robin groups.

Then, I noticed there is a table view of the samples, and this table has an ID column. Following my schematic, I would have samples 0-329 per key. For each key I need two independent gain envelopes, so: Can this be accomplished in a single sampler module, or are two sampler modules per key required in this case?

Thanks :)

Hi, I've been looking into Hise a little bit since I recently heard
about it, and I am considering whether it will be a better alternative
for my library which is currently built in Kontakt. Since I am just
about to do a major rewrite, now might be a good time for me to
consider switching.

I've already found many advantages with Hise, such as clever key
mapping of samples, xml-based configuration of almost everything,
javascript engine for scripting, support custom fonts etc. So the
next question is: Does it support everything we need for our library?

In kontakt a sample always lives in a 'group' which has its own settings
for many things, and I haven't seen if this is also the case for Hise.

The library is basically an electronic drumkit with 56 different
sounds across 56 keys.

Here are some of the more advanced features:
Each sound has its own gain envelope
Each sound has its own settings such as:

• output selection
• lfo-to-pitch
• velocity-to-sample-start
• velocity-to-gain

Some sounds will consist of two osc's (such tone and noise for a
snare). For these I can crossfade between osc-1 and osc-2.
Also, osc-1 and osc-2 each have their own gain envelope.

In some cases, we've even sampled osc-2 through some hardware with
32 different settings, which results in a 'color' parameter that
switches between the different samples for osc-2 using a knob.

Every single sample in the library is sampled with 5 round-robin
variants and an accent variant, so for the most advanced scenario
we have a snare drum with a tone osc and a noise osc, the noise has
32 different variations, all with accent and RR variations - so a
total of 330 samples for just one key.

Is Hise able to support these features without too much trickyness?

Thanks
