(sorry about my bogus english)

Yes, Hi!, y met Roberto yesterday 


This is an example of an Hydrogen Drumkit I'm developing now.
It was played with my electronic kerboard (Kawai KC10) connected to my 
SB Live! joystick port, using Hydrogen Drum Machine with the new 
drumkit.

That's 100% right: my plans had too many years, but I never find the 
time to do it because I dont know if someome will be interested in 
using them, and there is a lot of no GPL material on the net: the 
people uses it, but, we need GPL material so we can be free, and we can 
include .sf2 or .wav, .flac, into our GNU+Linux distros to be free as 
in freedom. 

And then I met you both: you are interested, so, lets do it!

I really appreciate (jeje, "wrong" word, but I dont find another one) 
your encourage, and I will need people like you to finance the job if 
we want to make this samples-instruments faster: I dont have time to 
lose, and I have to work every day.

Here the dolar is 1/3, so if you give me 1 dolar, it's equal to 3 pesos 
argentinos. So also (maybe?) we could pay some musicians (to make 
orchestra samples), if they do not want to do it for free.

I have a friend who has a lot of rare instruments, he told me las year 
that I could go to his house anytime to record them. (he has a home 
studio too, and he is an Orchestra Conductor )

Yesterday I was recording my acustic drum: it's not the best drum in the 
world, but you can get very nice sounds... it is a Colombo drum


* Colombo Percussion (made in Argentina, '70 or '80 approximately), 
handcraft (hecha a mano, i dont know how to say, "done by hands")


Similar to these models

(I dont gauged exactly the inches of the toms, snare and bassdrum, I am 
just guessing for now, until I have more time)

3 Toms: hi, mid, low-foor
TOMS  10X10 12X12 16X16 
Bassdrum: 20X24
Snare: picolo (¿14X4?)
Aquarian patch set. (parche se dice patch?)

Crash 16'' Sabian "B8 Pro, Thin Crash"
Crash 20'' Paiste 1000 "Power Crash 20''", made in Switzerland
Hihat Paiste 1000 14'' "Rude", made in Switzerland

PC:

AMD Duron 1800, 128 RAM memory, 2 HD 30GB 7200RPM, SB Live!
OS: Musix GNU+Linux
--

Recorded in my "acustic ready" room:

Mixer console: Phonic MU 802 (I have acces to better consoles such as 
Makie and Peavey, but this Phonic it's not so bad: it has Phantom Power 
too)
Mics: 6 Sure SM58 (I could borrow a Sure SM81 condenser Mic from a 
friend)

--

It was processed with Ardour & LADSPA plugins:

Multiband EQ
Gate
Fast Lookahead limiter
Caps: Versatile verb 2x2

--

The complete collection of .flac samples weight's it is about 12mb 
without the "shine" snares (that I did not finished yet, as you can 
listen).

I will licence them with a freedom licence, maybe GPL or Openfont.

What do you think about all these things?

* Sound quality (remember: I just did it all in one day!)
* What i said :-D
