[What KbdDrumr does!] [MRouter] [Registered version]
KbdDrumr is a utility to play your midi sound cards channel 10 drum kit from the PC's keyboard. The program displays a list of the GM drum sounds available. Double Clicking any of them allows that sound to be assigned to one of your PC keyboards keys (except the numpad keys which are used to control the extra kits on GS compatible sound cards)
Using MROUTER you can record your drum sounds in your sequencer (I use the Cakewalk apprentice that came with my AWE32)
The best way to do this is to select a blank track to record on to so that the sounds do not get confused with the other data on an existing track. This will enable you to post edit the mixing in the sequencer by removing superflous beats as required.
Packed its only about 100kb. you can download it here. KbdDrumr.ZIP
I have packed an updated copy of MROUTER including the source code, so if you make any improvements send them to me as well as Zoltan will you.
Mrouter is a public domain device driver written by Zoltan Jonosy, which is well cool and allows you to route output from one Midi program and use the same device as input to your sequencer i.e. Cakewalk and record these messages. Here is what Zoltan says about it:
MIDI Router is a simple Windows MIDI device driver which redirects the output of a MIDI program to the input of another MIDI program.
I needed this driver for my own work, so I wrote it. I hope you will find it useful too.
This piece of software is donated to the public domain. You can use it for whatever purpose you like. However it is provided as it is, use it at your own risk. I won't take any responsibility for anything.
I provide the source code as well. The code was written in Borland C++ 3.1. You can modify the source code as long as you give credit to me in your source. Please let me know if you add new features, I'd like to have them too. Bugs can be reported to Zoltan Janosy <janosy@tsys.hit.bme.hu>.
Enjoy!...... Zoltan Janosy <janosy@tsys.hit.bme.hu>
I have released the prototype version of the program free, so download it and check it out.
If you like it, I am doing a better version for my own use. If you email me and tell me how much you would be prepared to pay I may have the time (depending on interest) to get it good enough to release properly. It will definitely include:
To express your interest in a proper version, send me an Email. If you dont get a reply within a week, please send another, there was probably an error up at the University or GeoCities.
Many thanks to:
Zoltan Janosy for writing and donating MROUTER to the public domain
Borland for a smart C++ compiler and library.
