This should streamline the kind of classification of drum sounds you're talking about, Diamond-and I was thinking along the same lines-maybe low sounds versus high sounds, and for you and Branorin and other real-life percussionists out there, dividing the sounds according to what instruments probably made them.

The beauty of having a separate video for each note is that you can bring up two YouTube videos in different browser windows or tabs and compare the two sounds. I'm also going to post the YouTube playlist link in that thread. Link to the Sound Check thread in Observations, with an image of the musical notation of Sound Check and why I use Anvil to convert to ABC rather than just typing it myself. This is the mathematical aspect of writing ABC that always throws me. sort of.įor a different thread I'd like to see your test routine written in regular notes on a drum staff, for rhythm purposes, accompanied by a sample ABC showing how you convert the timing (actual notes don't matter). Although they are already sort of grouped within the scale. I just haven't taken the time to sort out the similar sounds into groups. some open, some muted, some slapped, some thumped, ect. The LOTRO drum samples are more like that, slightly nuanced. I play congas at church and I can make one drum yield a multitude of different sounds just by how and where I use my hands. The drum samples within the LOTRO drum are more varied than the Anvil Studio drums when it comes to hand drum sounds. What I'd like to do with this drum thread is also compile groups of in-game drum notes which most simulate things like congas, bongos. Very useful tool! I like how it reveals how each note sounds in rapid-fire =) ^_^ But maybe a little gaphic of the instruments and their ABC notes would be helpful. of little value to others since my key mapping is most likely different than anyone else's. I also made a physical map of my keyboard assignments for the drum notes with both a picture of the instrument and the ABC notation for each key. there are still 6 kinds of nice open/muted sounds in-game that I could find no equivalent for in Anvil :( In-game drums are all traditional/historic folk-style instruments. Plus, the default rhythm sounds in Anvil are heavy on modern 'drum-set' type instruments and lean on 'acoustic' type drums (hand-played). I sure do wish there was something closer to a symbol sound in-game :-/ I just wanted to match up as many of the Anvil instruments as I could so I'd have more to work with than the few sounds I'd picked out for my own songs. Anvil interprets the notes an octave lower than I am used to thinking (middle C is the 'c' in the acronym FACE for treble staff lines instead of the c between the staffs), and sometimes I forget to change the staff view to Guitar notation (which is what I'm accustomed to). The only problem I've had with it (other than LMP transposing) is that I get confused when using the traditional Treble/Bass cleft view for composing. I've used your method of notating the drums on an instrument track. Select the note which corresponds to the LotRO equivalent marked in this chart inside the curly brackets Drum_Mapping.txt (3.94 KiB) 13 In this mode, you can simply change the 'pitch' of the notes by right-clicking on the note and choosing 'Properties', then click on the pull-down menu for 'Note'. When working with an 'Instrument' track in channel 10 (rhythm), drum sounds show up as musical notes. My choices are sometimes arbitrary, you may decide to use something else, but doing this helps me create a drum track in Anvil that I can more easily convert to ABC.Ĭreating Drum Tracks with Anvil Studio and LotRO Midi Player (LMP) I matched, as well as I could, the drum sounds found in Anvil Studio with the drum notes in LotRO.
