Default Drum sequencer like Hydrogen

Hi,

I use Hydrogen with drum kits (composed of differents wave files) to create drums parts.

Is that possible to do the same things in Reaper, for exemple use a midi event and assign my waves files to keybord notes and compose drums parts ?

Thanks !

The simplest thing you could do is try the ReaDrums track template, which allows you to load drum samples in Reaper's sampler and trigger them by midi. See my signature; it's basic but effective, and once you know what you are doing you can easily make a drum map with Schwa's midi note namer plugin!

There is also a new but VERY nice free drum sampler that recently came out, Poise:
http://www.anothersmallclue.com/

It is not finished yet, but works great already. I highly recommend it, and you could also make a drum map for this as well.

HTH!

Thanks for the link. Always looking for good ways to do midi drums.

found the issue...
you need to move the options screen out of the way before clicking on a sample directory slot, as the brows dialogue is displayed behind it, and there is no way to bring it to the front.

I am really diggin' this little drum sampler.
the saturation tool is cool.
as are the pitch tools.

i have it mapped to the samples installed with Virtuadrum by angular momentum... and the little sample browser is killer! Drag a sample to a pad and audition... I believe that I will be using Poise with Virtuadrum's samples more than virtuadrum hehe.

well worth the download.

Took me some time to discover that Poise's C3 is REAPER's C5 - very easy to change this / create and save note maps though

this is just the free drum sampler I guess many have been waiting for.

Best thing about it: it accepts drag 'n drop directly from REAPER's media browser!

Poise is sweet indeed, but I've made Reaper crash a couple times through the built-in browser. I reported it to the developer, but it seems to be Reaper as it's rock solid in Live. That was a few versions ago, so don't know if anything may have changed in the newer 2.0 betas. I just dragged in from Reaper's explorer, just like I always do with either ReaDrums or Guru, and everything's fine.

The developer also knows about the Option page "popunder" glitch. Hopefully there will be a new version out soon, and it should have my two feature requests: a reverse button and the ADSR defaulted Off just like the pitch. AFAIC, it's done at that point. I really don't need or want any more from a drum sampler. :-)

If you're interested, the thread about Poise is here:
http://www.kvraudio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=182869
(It really kicks in on page four, where the link is that I used in this thread)

That's a cool trick! Unfortunately I don't have Virtuadrum installed anymore, though I'm looking forward to seeing the new VD concept that's coming someday. I tried to encourage Thomas to finish VD (with the features I really wanted, of course) but as you may know he's working on some big project for a major company now, and doesn't have the time. VD suffered from the usual deal-killer of independent drum samplers though, no way to preview/audition before loading. All SynthEdit and SynthMaker instruments have this limitation, for the most part.

Are you asking for drum samples, or an example of using these instruments in a project? If you need drum samples, they're freely abundant across the internets. I call it "virtual crate diggin'"... ;-)

Start here:
http://samples.kb6.de/downloads.php (classic drum machines)
http://www.autodafe.net/samples.asp (great acoustic samples)

I really feel this way, and can't believe it's taken so long for someone to get this style/concept right for under $200! Many people would scoff and say, "not another free drum sampler", but the fact is nobody's nailed it yet. I have a drum machine obsession, I feel very passionatly about this! lol

Thanks for your links Jamester.
To answer your question, that will be great to have a reaper project using this instruments, for exemple an archive with the RPP files and the drums sample (ogg, mp3 etc.)
Thanks for you answer and sorry for my "French" English.
