| configure_drum_controls | Configure global pitch and envelope controls for each drum type. This tool will: Add per-drum pitch controls with customizable ranges Configure ADSR envelope settings for natural decay control Generate proper XML structure for global drum controls
Error Handling: Validates pitch range values (min/max must be valid numbers) Ensures envelope times are positive values Verifies curve values are within -100 to 100 range Returns detailed error messages for invalid configurations
Success Response:
Returns XML structure containing: Global controls for each drum type MIDI CC mappings for real-time control Properly formatted parameter bindings
|
| configure_round_robin | Configure round robin sample playback for a set of samples. This tool will: Validate sequence positions Verify sample files exist Generate proper XML structure for round robin playback
Error Handling: Checks if sample files exist at specified paths Validates sequence positions are unique and sequential Ensures mode is one of: round_robin, random, true_random, always Returns specific error messages for missing files or invalid sequences
Success Response:
Returns XML structure with: |
| analyze_wav_samples | Analyze WAV files to detect common issues in drum kit samples. This tool checks for: Non-standard WAV headers that may cause playback issues Metadata inconsistencies that could affect multi-mic setups Sample rate and bit depth compatibility Channel configuration issues File size and format validation
Error Handling: Reports detailed header format issues Identifies metadata inconsistencies between related samples Flags potential playback compatibility problems Returns specific error messages for each issue type
Success Response:
Returns detailed analysis including: IMPORTANT: Always use absolute paths (e.g., 'C:/Users/username/Documents/Samples/kick.wav') rather than relative paths. |
| configure_mic_routing | Configure multi-mic routing with MIDI controls for drum samples. This tool will: Set up individual volume controls for each mic position (close, OH L/R, room L/R) Route each mic to its own auxiliary output for DAW mixing Configure MIDI CC mappings for mic volumes Generate proper XML structure for DecentSampler
Error Handling: Validates mic position assignments Checks for duplicate MIDI CC assignments Ensures valid output routing targets Verifies bus indices are unique and valid Returns specific errors for routing conflicts
Success Response:
Returns XML structure containing: |
| generate_drum_groups | Generate DecentSampler XML for drum kits. This tool supports two configuration types: BasicDrumKitConfig: For simple presets with minimal features No UI controls, effects, or routing Only supports basic sample mapping and optional velocity layers Recommended for straightforward drum kits
AdvancedDrumKitConfig: For complex setups combining multiple features Supports UI controls, effects, and routing Integrates with other tools (configure_drum_controls, configure_mic_routing, etc.) Use when you need advanced features like round robin or multi-mic setups
Best Practices: IMPORTANT: Always use absolute paths (e.g., 'C:/Users/username/Documents/Samples/kick.wav') Group all samples for a drum piece into a single group When using multiple mic positions, include them all in the same group Use velocity layers within a group to control dynamics
Error Handling: Validates all sample paths exist Checks for valid MIDI note numbers Ensures velocity layers don't overlap Verifies muting group configurations Returns specific errors for any invalid settings
Example Configurations: Basic Configuration (simple drum kit):
{
"globalSettings": {
"velocityLayers": [
{ "low": 1, "high": 42, "name": "soft" },
{ "low": 43, "high": 85, "name": "medium" },
{ "low": 86, "high": 127, "name": "hard" }
]
},
"drumPieces": [{
"name": "Kick",
"rootNote": 36,
"samples": [
{"path": "C:/Samples/Kick_Soft.wav"},
{"path": "C:/Samples/Kick_Medium.wav"},
{"path": "C:/Samples/Kick_Hard.wav"}
]
}]
} Advanced Configuration (multi-mic kit with controls):
{
"globalSettings": {
"velocityLayers": [
{ "low": 1, "high": 127, "name": "full" }
],
