this might seem a backward question, as most people would use doggiebox to either create a midi file to import and use some other wiz bang software to output the file as good drum sounds or export the audio (and I've found that the drum samples on doggiebox for a standard kit are very good), but I was wondering if there is any way of importing a midi file into doggiebox that I created somewhere else ?
Not backwards at all, I think. It's been suggested before that it would be pretty cool if Doggiebox would slurp up the percussion parts of a standard GM .mid file and let you choose samples to use from your chosen .dbkit. This is, perhaps, a slightly more complicated than having DB output a .mid file (introduced in v1.2, I think) so it hasn't been implemented yet. IMO, this would certainly be a great feature for DB v2.0. Being able to scoop drum parts from any freely available midi file for re-editing and re-tweaking in Doggiebox looks like a great slacker's way of increasing one's library of drum parts for DB :) Not sure where Ben is at, developmentwise. One suspects Real Life intervenes from time to time! ;) I've been messing around with DB a lot, recently, tweaking my dbkit for ns_kit7 (full) and composing up parts for some new recordings, so I'd be keen to hear any news/rumours of what's in the pipeline .....
