[Linuxsampler-devel] Gigasampler and Key Groups

[Christian S. <sch...@so...>]

Hi!

I started to implement key groups (important for drum patches and monophonic 
instruments) in LS today, but it seems I haven't understood completely 
Gigasampler's concept regarding keygroups yet.

I implemented it that way today: if a key is triggered then I'll check if 
there's another key active in the same key group and if so I trigger the 
release process of the voices on the other key. Now I tested it with the free 
natural studio drumkit:

and it sounds like the key group mechanism isn't working at all; reason: the 
hihats (which use the key group feature) usually use a very, very long 
release time. So the question is, should I simply override the official 
release time when I release a voice due to a keygroup conflict? If yes what 
release time should I use? I simply can't find additional patch informations 
for this in the gig format. Maybe I have overlooked something?

I'd appreciate If somebody could enlighten me!
