DrumGizmo – multichannel, multilayered drum plugin and standalone app

DrumGizmo is an open source, multichannel, multilayered, cross-platform drum plugin and stand-alone application.

It enables you to compose drums in midi and mix them with a multichannel approach. It is comparable to that of mixing a real drumkit that has been recorded with a multimic setup.

This is free and open source software.

Key Features

• Stand-alone, Lv2 and VSTi versions are available.
• Open drumkit file format, allowing the community to create their own drumkits.
• Drum velocity, allowing for several different hit velocities for each drum.
• Multichannel output, making it possible to mix it just the way you would a real drumkit.
• Optional built-in humanizer, analyzing the midi notes, adjusting velocities on-the-fly.
• Stand-alone midi renderer, generating .wav files, 1 for each channel.
• Stand-alone midi input, making it possible to use the software as a software sampler for an electronic drumkit.
