Drumagog and Slate Trigger haven’t cornered the market?

I agree with jdahl. Actually might sell more copies of SD if it could be used in this way or came with a trigger plug-in. Just a filter and a gate on the source, convert that amplitude to MIDI velocity, done, right?

Thanks, fizbin – I agree!

To answer your question, Whitten: it’s not so much about the competition, but the fact that Toontrack made fully working, professional drum triggering software and deliberately made it external-ONLY!

Those other two are (correctly) internal plug-ins, so you don’t have to waste a day exporting/importing MIDI and wave files! It utterly confounds me why they chose this route and charged a premium price for it. No offense intended to Toontrack, but it just bewilders me. They’ve got everything else….now they make…pianos? instead of a proper, internal drum trigger? Would it take that much to adapt the code to make it an insert? Bizarre.

yes, if we wanted to keep the accuracy that a standalone program allows us.

… without going into details, that is the major reason, when Drumtracker was developed, that it was chosen not to make it an insert. I can’t speak of the competition (for obvious reason) but we did research the market then, which only confirmed our opinion that an insert would be a compromise of the result one could obtain with the program.

I see. So no chance of an insert-version? I would surely buy that.

all I can say is that we are aware of the different ways to work when it comes to drum replacement, and that there is a demand for more ‘instantaneous’ results.
