Coming Soon: ParamDrum TR edition

Does TR stand for Transistor Rhythm, Testarossa, or something else? You tell me, and hopefully no one gets sued.



This one has a new sample set and a new look, plus more snaps. Working on some snaps for it now... hope to have it ready for July 4 launch, comrades.

Starting from Scratch in Paramdrum

A user asked a question about ParamDrum:

How can I create a "blank" snapshot? Without any samples loaded, automations, etc.?

A good question. First, to unload the sample maps, right click on one of the drum sample waveforms and choose "open map editor". Then highlight all the samples (shift-click works) and choose "delete" from the dropdown menu in the sample map editor.



Then use this technique to repopulate the sample map with your own samples.



The other thing to do is in the snapshot dialogue, click the "default" button to reset all controls to default values. Since I hadn't optimized the ensemble for this - for example, it sets all the drum sequences to 0.5 instead of zero, which is useless - I've uploaded a new blank version of ParamDrum for people who want to start from scratch. Get it on the drop - same password as before. When you click on "default", it initializes with values that are more reasonable. Remember to add samples or you won't hear anything.

If you don't already have a password for the ParamDrum archives, you can get one by following the purchase instructions here.
