drum replacement ladspa plugins?
hi,
perhaps it is worth of trying the “smack” which is a part of the om-synth.
it is a kind of drum sythesizer, praised to be 100% sample-free.
for me, it sounds very good, i got it running in connection with “gneutronica”!
have a look at jackaudio.org/applications, there you will find the links to the sites of
om/gneutronica.
cheers,

Not exactly a plugin, but it works with the jack and therefore easily controlled and recorded with Ardour.
I have written a LADSPA plugin that could be simular to your needs. It’s a simple trigger plugin, that replace the orginal sound with samples from a wave file. I didn’t have it published yet, but if you are interested I can start a new project at soureforge.
Ok, here we go:
I created a new project on sourceforge.net with the name “LADSPA Trigger Plugin”. You can go to: http://sourceforge.net/projects/ladspa-trigger/ and download the archive. You have to compile and install it (make && make install). But it’s quite simple. I hope it’s useful.
Normally its no problem. Download the archive from the download page and do the following, if you haven’t done already:
Change in the directory you downloaded it, than type:
tar -jxf ladspa-trigger-20070411.tar.bz2
cd ladspa-trigger/
make
sudo make install
That will be all. If you want to use your own samples put it into the samples directory before “make install”. At the moment only 5 samples are used and have to be named “sample1.wav” to “sample5.wav”.
That should be “-fno-stack-protector”, and gcc is complaining about what appears to be a typo in the Makefile. Oddly enough, I just downloaded what I believe is the same archive and the typo isn’t in there. Anyway, you should be able to open and hand-edit the Makefile; it’s in the line that starts with CFLAGS.
Ahh… that explains it. Actually you could remove the phrase altogether from the CFLAGS, since you must be using a version of gcc that predates that functionality. Or you could upgrade gcc, which is a bit harder and often fraught with peril. You may want to talk with your dad about upgrading the entire system, as it seems to be using a significantly old compiler– not a good sign. I could be wrong, though… what distribution/version do you have there?
ilostmyfiles is right. I added this option for the newer version of gcc. You don’t need this, if you use gcc older than version 4.1.2 I think. But you have to remove only the “-fno-stack-protector”. Not the whole line.
If it doesn’t work, please give your gcc version. “gcc –version” give this.
That’s a relief. Thanks for that, toersi… I was close to correcting myself for assuming too much about carter’s toolchain, maybe I still should.
At any rate, I was able to install this plugin and it went without a hitch– loaded right up in jack-rack. carter, I’m pretty sure that error means it failed linking to glibc, and it’ll probably be related to Debian’s ways… so now I’m out of my league– if not already ;)
1) is there any way you could make the treshold and the hold time more independent of each other? somtimes while recording kick drums i have a problem where the double bass is fast and soft and the plugin doesnt want to pick it up. and when it goes back to slow and harder hits it seems to work fine. the opposite is true when i apply the the settings for fast and soft hits, the hard hits dont come through right.
2) this may be more work than it is actually worth, but would there be any way to edit/add or subtract more samples within the plugin itsself without having to install it again? i dont know if this is even possible because i have not tried to replace any of the samples i have uploaded anyways.
I got the time to do some updating and fixing on the trigger-plugin. There was a little bug in the hold-time calculation. Additionally I updated the trigger-engine. I tried to find a good solution for the fast and soft double bass problem, but I couldn’t find any. Edit/add or subtract samples will be a good improvement. But LADSPA don’t have an interface for file selection. The only possible way I know at the time, will be a config-file in which the paths for the file will be stored.
For testing the new version - download it from SourceForge: http://sourceforge.net/projects/ladspa-trigger/
hey guys. i recently downloaded the 2nd version of this plugin and am having some trouble getting it to work. i have successfully compiled and installed it, however when i go into ardour and hit the update button where the plugin list is it gives me this error message
[ERROR]: LADSPA: cannot load module “/usr/lib/ladspa/trigger.so” (/usr/lib/ladspa/trigger.so: undefined symbol: stat)
can anyone help me out?
I don’t know why the stat() function is not available on all systems. But I just released a new version without this function. So try the beta3 on the sourceforge side (shown above). I hope this will do for you.
Btw. I’m working on a new version where you can manage the loaded samples. Maybe this will available soon.
