DGEdit allows one to create drum kits for use in DrumGizmo from recordings of individual instruments (snare, kickdrum, toms, crashes, and so on). It supports the entire process of taking a group of WAV files and converting them into working instruments with hit energy levels.

DrumGizmo's main aim is to simulate a real drum kit. Features:

  • Stand-alone application, Lv2 plugin version available
  • Drum multilayer velocities, allowing for several different hit velocities for each drum
  • Multichannel output, making it possible to mix it just the way you would a real drumkit
  • Optional built-in humanizer, analyzing the MIDI notes, adjusting velocities on-the-fly
  • Mic bleed simulation
  • Open drumkit file format, allowing to create your own drumkits
  • Stand-alone MIDI renderer, generating .wav files, 1 for each channel
  • Stand-alone MIDI input, making it possible to use DrumGizmo as a software sampler for an electronic drumkit

Please note that for using DrumGizmo you will need to download some compatible drum kit audio data made by the community (such as those available at www.drumgizmo.org) or create one yourself with DGEdit (provided in the dgedit package).

Advanced GTK+ Sequencer is intended to be used for music composition. It features a piano roll, as well as a synth, matrix editor, drum machine, soundfont2 player, mixer and an output panel. It’s designed to be highly configurable. You may add effects to its effect chain; and add or remove audio channels/pads. You may set up a fully functional network of engines, thus there is a link editor for linking audio lines.

The package is enhanced by the following packages: gsequencer-data

Pure Data (also known as Pd) is a real-time graphical programming environment for audio and graphics processing. Pd's audio functions are built-in; graphical computations require separate packages such as gem (Graphics Environment for Multimedia) or pd-pdp (Pd Packet).

This is a metapackage that depends on all components of the core of Pd.
