NAME

       drumgizmo - drum application

SYNOPSIS

       drumgizmo [OPTIONS] <FILE>

DESCRIPTION

       DrumGizmo  is  an open source cross-platform drum plugin and stand-alone application. It is comparable to
       several commercial drum plugin products.

       DrumGizmo uses an open drumkit file format, allowing the community to create their own drumkits.  It  has
       multichannel  output,  making  it  possible to mix it just the way you would a real drumkit. The optional
       built-in humanizer analyzes the midi notes, adjusting velocities on-the-fly. This client can be a  stand-
       alone  midi  renderer,  generating .wav files, 1 for each channel. Or use DrumGizmo as a software sampler
       for an electronic drumkit. There are also plugin versions available.

              jackaudio:

              dummy:

       -e, --endpos
              Number of samples to process, (default -1: infinite)

       -r, --no-resampling
              Disable resampling

       -s, --streaming
              Enable diskstreaming

       -S, --strimingparms parmlist
              Parameters for controlling the streaming buffers.

              limit=<size> (Limit the amount of preloaded drumkit data to the size)

       -t, --timing-humanizer
              Enable moving of notes in time.
              Note: adds latency to the output so do not use this with a real-time midi drumkit.

       -T, --timing-humanizerparms parmlist
              Timing humanizer options.

              laidback=<val> (Move notes ahead or behind in time in ms [+/-100].)

              Velocity humanizer options.

              attack=<val>  (How quickly the velocity gets reduced when playing fast notes.  Lower values result

              stddev=<val>  (The  standard-deviation  for  the  velocity  humanizer.  Higher value makes it more
              likely that a sample further away from the input velocity will be played. [0,4.5])

       -l, --voice-limit
              Enable voice limit.

       -L, --voice-limitparms parmlist

              close=<val>  (The  importance given to choosing a sample close to the actual velocity value (after

EXAMPLES

       Render midifile to wav files:

       Receive midi from Jack and send audio output to speakers:
              drumgizmo -i jackmidi -I midimap=midimap.xml -o jackaudio drumkit.xml
