I've been working on this, but the current version of the dbkit: a) a doesn't have all the ns_kit7free samples linked yet, and b) has samples mapped to their General MIDI instrument (or something close!), but the MIDI mappings don't contain velocity info (all velocities are 127).
Thanks for the link Carl. I was hoping it would fix the links to the samples that are in Mike's - but sadly not. I might have a go re loading them from the originals or just hang on for your completed kit... yes that sounds like a good idea...
Still, I've put a zipped version of the current version "as is" online: <http://www.carlaz.com/music/Carls_nskit7.dbkit.zip>
This version also has links to some non-ns_kit7 oddities in it: the GarageBand cowbell samples ('cause I gotta have more cowbell!), the ns woodblock samples (I use them as beat keepers on count-ins and such), and a muted crash sample I made by editing one of the ns_kit7free crash samples in Audacity (though one could easily relink to another muted crash sample, like from ns_kit6 or whatever!).
I did something similar, funnily enough with adding a cowbell to an earlier ns kit as I too have a feever and the only medicine is more cowbell!. There's a song on my site (below) using it if you're interested - Xris under the 2004 tab. There an imported tambourine there too... and I'm eagerly awaiting David Holloway's new Ludwig recordings featuring tambourine.
