DrumGizmo Exporter

DrumGizmo is a drum kit player plugin that has been built to closely emulate the sound of a real drum kit. For a list of features please visit the DrumGizmo Page. The feature that is important for me is that it supports up to 16 audio outputs that can be mixed and processed independently in the DAW (I'm using Ardour on Linux)

Drum Kit Format

The DrumGizmo format is also documented on the DrumGizmo page. It basically consists of XML files and related audio samples:

• Main kit XML : defines instruments and audio output channels, contains path names of instrument XML files

• Midi map XML: assigns midi notes to instruments

• Instrument XML: one per instrument assigning audio samples

• Audio files: at least *.wav and *.flac supported, multi-layer, multi-channel

The structure is very flexible by having all path names defined in the XML files.

Generated Directory Structure

The tool generates the following structure

<name>/
      <name>-kit.xml
      <name>-midi.xml
      <instr_1>/
               <instr_1>.xml
               samples/
                       <instr_1_audio_sample_1>
                         ...
                       <instr_1_audio_sample_n>
         . . .
      <instr_n>/
               <instr_n>.xml
               samples/
                      <instr_n_audio_sample_1>
                         ...
                      <instr_n_audio_sample_n>
