Glen MacArthur, maintainer of AVLinux, has just announced version 1.0 of his AVL Drumkit samples, which come in both Hydrogen and SFZ formats.

Drumgizmo user, Sardonicus, has recently released an eight channel drumkit for Drumgizmo called 'ShittyKit'. Shitty by name, not so shitty by nature, this is Drumgizmo's first ever user created drumkit.

This kit is a Stagg Gia drumkit with the following instrument channels -

• Ch 1: Kick
• Ch 2: Snare
• Ch 3: 12” Tom
• Ch 4: 14” Floor tom
• Ch 5 and 6: Overheads
• Ch 7 and 8: Room

The DrumGizmo developers have just pushed out a hot fix release, version 0.9.8.1. This fixes a rather serious bug in the resampling code that would cause sample skewing over the channels when resampling was enabled.

The latest version can be downloaded at drumgizmo.org

Don't forget you can visit the official DrumGizmo IRC channel at the Freenode network.

Drumgizmo v0.9.8 has just been released. Beside the usual minor bug fixes, there has also been a lot of work done on the command line version of Drumgizmo.

Glen MacArthur, the maintainer of AV Linux, has done some more work and improvements on his existing drumkit libraries and added a completely new one called 'The Red Zeppelin'.

He has also set up a webpage with details and images of the sampled drumkits. Here you will find links to SFZ and SF2 sample libraries. Hydrogen kits are due to be uploaded soon.
