This is a very simple little device that I made for myself, as it suits the way that I like to work. I thought that perhaps some of you might also find it useful.

The "wavedrum" is a sample player with a dedicated amp envelope. I designed it to be very DSP-light and yet allow certain desirable features, such as MIDI-mapping across the keyboard and MIDI-channel selectivity. The tiny device allows for the use of multiple instances, with little DSP-usage, with each instance having its own unique MIDI-map with shared MIDI-channels and vice-versa. In this way, it is great for triggering loops and especially multiple drum-hit samples.

It can also, of course, be used as a polyphonic sample player for keyboard-style playing.

XTC-mode is supported and the convenient "load/ clear sample" buttons are included (the "load" button points to the "Samples" sub-folder in the SFP folder-group).

I hope you find it useful. Sorry for the "ultra-stock" GUI appearance... I designed it for function over fashion.

Cheers,

Stephen

Thanks for this nice free device

I'm sure i'll find usefull thing to do with it.

And, personnaly i love this 'ultra stock look'

It keep things simple for the eye.

Hi

im happy - very usefull device

please stereo version

Thanks

I second that. Theres no good reason to put an alligator lifting weights on a plugin GUI.
Thanks stephen, you rule! Also a multi sample, multi output version of this could be supa cool. Kinda like the SDS but more SFP friendly. Your sound sculpting know-how built in could take drum sampling to another level.

Great little device. Can we have a stereo version?

I'm just in the middle of designing my next 'major' devide project, but i will look into updating this thing in the future... certain things will depend on the new SDK, as well (such as proper stereo implementation).

Cheers,

Stephen

dooh, for a minute, i thought it was a WaveDrum emulation (you know that one do you?)....

i really REALLY wanted a Korg Wavedrum when they first came out, but they were sooo expensive and then also so short-lived on the market...

I still want to own one eventually and hope that one will cross my path when I have a little extra money (yeah, right...).

calling my little device a "wavedrum" was terribly uncreative of me (and misleading, when considering the greatness of the 'other' Wavedrum). i honestly didn't think of the old Korg instrument of the same name and just thought to put "wave" (as in -file) and "drum" (as in what i was using it for) together... it wasn't unitl i released it that i remembered my old desire for the instrument of the same name! funny how the subconscious works.

Cheers,

Stephen

lol
yeah, and they are still expensive
I've heard it's quite hard to play too...
to be continued then (on the wavedrum side)...

Ironicly, I thought the same thing when I saw the name. I too wanted a korg wavedrum in the worst way. I think the price will probably be very high for some years to come.

well, the point is that the Korg WaveDrum could never be properly modelled in software because its greatness is based largely on its tactile controller.

calling my little device a "wavedrum" was terribly uncreative of me (and misleading, when considering the greatness of the 'other' Wavedrum).

What about DrumWave?

The device is great and a poliphonic version would be a great enhancement for me (if possible, please)

it is polyphonic.

Thanx man!

Gonna try it after some sleep =)

it is polyphonic.

Very good device.

The link beetween two shots is really good (i use it with 1 voice of polyphony), no clicks, very good, seems like a very short delay plus a very short release is used to make that possible.
I heard also that the sound is a tiny better than a VSTi sample player, samples directly played by the Creamware card looks to be more accurate.

My wish :
1) multisampler with a keyboard map : each sample could be link with each keyboard key or a group, polyphony should be limited on each key in case of drums and hit-hats), why not a system of cells
In fact i'm looking for a device like NI battery but Creamware device)
2) a 1 pole low pass filter
I will pay for that.

I'm glad you find this device useful. I agree that a 'Battery'-style device would be cool, although I'm not entirely sure I'd be the best one to build it (samplers aren't really my forte), but after I'm completed a couple of my devices-in-progress here, I will certainly fiddle around with the idea.

All the best,

Stephen

Nice device...my wish would be a built-in resonant (lowpass) filter.

Cheers Wavelength!

I have a better idea, why not making a modular module with this quality device ?
Everything could be possible then.

I tried the drum sample module supplied with modular, I'm disapointed, attack of the original sample is "eaten", this is not the case with your Wavedrum.

As I said, I'll pay for that.
