What I'm always wanting to see is a comprehensive tuning system for drum samplers/synths. With drums being the back bone of most compositions, it's frustrating to have to spend time dealing with the short comings of this oversight. More often than not, developers and artists often overlook the fact that drums are a tuned instrument. I'm often dishearten by the plug-in market's offerings when it comes to drums. So, if this expedites IK's development process, I'm interested in helping get it integrated sooner.Īdditionally, I used linear phase filters (FIR) for the low pass, but because MODO Drum is a live type performance instrument, it may be better to use minimal phase filters. I more interested in making music than I am selling plug-ins. YouTube|Warp Academy:How to Tune Your Drums with Frequency ShifterĪs reluctant as I am to give away research, here is a link to research I referenced when building my frequency shifter:Ĭ:An Efficient, Precise Frequency Shifter If such an effect is to be planned for MODO Drum, I point out that the team makes sure to creates a 'frequency shifter' and not a 'Pitch Shifter', as a pitch shifter has adverse effects on a drum sound highlighted in this video: To remedy this, I plan to bring a 'Frequency Shifter' algorithm I developed out of SynthEdit as a stand alone effect. I'll be grateful to hear from an experienced drummer of what the notes ranges of a real drum are. With that said, I assume that changing the diameter and tension must allow for more than 5 notes. I don't have the experience or research of working with real drums, or ever having to tune one (I thank the modern age and sampling technologies), but to my understanding pushing a drum around a whole octave might not be realistic. A range of -10 to 10 to me is a 'Volt' range. I'll admit I was a bit disappointed to find that I can only move between a range of around 5 different notes, and with no real notataion reference for the batter or resonant heads, it's guess work. This was the first thing I looked at because I find it imperative to tune to the tonic. Larger Root Range And/Or Frequency Shifter Here are some suggestions to add to the wish list: Been using MODO drum for around a month, and I find it great right 'out of the box'.
