Re: [Bluemusic-users] Is anybody thinking about developing a synthesized drum machine BSB?

[Michael B. <got...@ya...>]

Collaboration functionality would be very nice in blueShare for this very t=
hing. Don't quite know the best way to go about implementing it though.  Ma=
ybe just an instrument repository where all the instruments created there "=
belong" to everybody? Of course, then there's SCM management issues to cons=
ider (merges, locks, etc.).  Hmm...=0A=0AAnyway, I agree on the standard no=
te representation and preliminary interface.  I'm sure, though, that it wil=

 idea of a single drum instrument myself that could have a=0Acomplete kit o=
f drums, then perhaps use presets to switch between=0Akits.  I think lookin=

of designs that arise from this=0Acollaboration as there's going to be diff=
erent types of drums we all=0Awant to use.  I can imagine a physical model =
drum synth, then one that=0Aemulates analag drum machines, then also newer =
different ideas like=0AMichael is apparently working on (and I'm sure makin=

ink of that might be nice is to agree on a=0Asort of standard p-field set t=
hat all the drum synths can share, as=0Awell as perhaps coming up with a co=
nvention for note values to=0Acorrespond to drum types.  That's one of the =
really good advantages to=0Amusical systems based around MIDI is that if on=
e learns midi channel=0A10 and how that maps, one has a good chance of swit=
ching around=0Adifferent synthesizers and knowing a note is going to mean s=
nare and=0Aanother bass drum, regardless of the quality of that sound.  I t=
hink=0Ait would be in the best interest of all of us too to find a baseline=
=0Anote format that we could design around for drum synths, and perhaps=0Af=
rom there come up with a template instrument that can set up the=0Abasic st=
ructure for handling pfields, then we could all work to=0Aimplement the mai=
n synthesis area.=0A=0AAs for how to collaborate, I'm not sure what's the b=
est way.  I could=0Acreate a "Collaborations" category in blueShare where w=
e can upload=0Aand download from and that we can expect there to be somewha=
t=0Ahalf-implemented stuff and be a place meant for us to share ongoing=0Aw=
