Here's a hi-hat choker for a single drum track. 3 note triggers with individual decay settings can be assigned to a drum track with just a single open hi-hat sample. Assigned: Q key is closed, W key pedal and E key open hi-hat.

BTW, I use it in my Virtuadrum that I am porting at the moment from SE to SM. The choking works exactly like the SE drumtrigger SEM.

wow am looks great! looking forward to try it 😉

Thanks man!

Almost finished with it. I have to insert a switch for release behaviour in the env section just above the volume knob, so that Virtuadrum is also suitable for MIDI drumkits. Then some graphic work, need to redo the top button. The lighting is a bit off, the load button is too dark on the left side. Then do the drumkits. I had some troubles with the loader, in SM2 triggers seem to behave a bit different in some components, but got that all sorted quickly.

There is only one bug really I still have to adress, when I load the schematic sound does not work until I reconnect the audio at the end bit. Exported as an exe or vst everything is fine though.

if you need some help just let me now. just had some stuff laying around here on my harddrive that i made a while ago for my Specdrum (which was more a small try than a serious project) 😉

Much thanks for the offer!

I only have to filter out the MIDI off note and hold that off note for the length of the sample, I think... 🙂

I haven't had a look at Specdrum yet, going to do that now!

Nice one. Works well in Cubase 5, and loads a lot quicker then Virtuadrum. I will have to cut my samples better, a lot of empty space in some of them now, to make it load like Specdrum.

Looks cracking AM! will most certainly try out your new plug when done 😀

AM Would you happen to know how to create flam effects on drum samples?

Best Regards jay

Sure, here's an example. Green timing though.

Yeah, got that working, but I have to find why I have a misbehaving timer component. For some reason it doesn't want to do what it is supposed to. A bool to true doesn't want to trigger/start the timer for some reason. With a push button manually it works fine. Worked initially, but something must have slipped in that bugs the timer.

The rest seems pretty solid, I tested it a couple of hours with Cubase5 and an MPK-49, and apart from slight green timing errors when going a bit wild it operates very well.

Thanks AM for that flam osm! much appreciated 😀

Best regards Jay

Your much welcome! Any questions let me know. I am not around much to help out, I am sorry for that. When I want to sit down and do stuff, something else comes up that needs attention. 😕 🙂
