I have a .dbkit version of nskit 6 which somebody sent me some time ago (it may well even have been you). Still want it back?
Thanks :) thought actually re-downloaded the samples from someone else. nskit v6 and v7 sound a little different (not surprisingly) so I thought it might well make sense to hang on to both (but only after I had hastily trashed v6 -- D'oh!)
On this note, what shape is your nskit 7 in? I have downloaded the source nskit 7 samples from Douglas's site, and I now want to embark on creating the "recipe" mechanism whereby one will be able to take a skeleton .dbkit file (containing drum names, icons, key assignments etc) and automagically import the source WAVs. If you have a .dbkit made up for it already, I wouldn't mind getting a copy. This would save me the time of having to re-build the drum assignments in DB, creating icons, etc especially if a good job has already been done by somebody.
Well, I haven't done it yet -- I've only pulled out the v7 samples and kinda given them a few listens through. I got torn between going to rework old files in the new DB interface and setting up a new nsk7-based kit, and as a result have been crap and done neither! :P Still, if when I _do_ get this done, I will be sure to mention it here :) Though I intend from the outset add some non-ns sourced material, since I would really like things like a cowbell, and I don't think either version of ns_kit has cowbell samples. I'll add those old ns_woodblock samples, too, and maybe a shaker or scraper or something (just enough to give me an "ethnic" edge to any kit until multi-kit functionality comes into a future DB version :) Cheers, Carl -- Carl Edlund Anderson http://www.carlaz.com/
