sorry to get off topic, but i hope for a quick understandable answer: whats the difference between a drum and an inst pgm?
and nym: great pgms, thank you! i didn't start working with os2, but i soon will, so i'll upload some pgm withing the next two month or so.

Thanks in advance. Ill check them out when I get home.

the difference in DRUM programs and INST programs is as follows. drum pgms are the "catchall" program and inst programs take a more specific type of sample. both take a long time to build properly, but are very different in some key ways.

drum programs you're familiar with. the sound are assigned to a variety of PADS. each one can hold 3 layers. each pad has its own FILTER, AMP, LFO, and PITCH parameters. pads can be simulted together and played simultaneously. there's more, like sample layer xfade, but most of this you know already. you will likely use DRUM programs for at least half of your songs as opposed to INST pgms. drum sounds, of course, are best in drum pgms. sound effects, chopped samples, etc are all DRUM pgm material.

in INST programs, there are no "pads" or layers. instead, you assign a sound over a range of notes, "grouping" the "keys." you can layer by assigning 2 samples over the same range (just gotta set all the notes to play correctly). INST programs are the new and improved autochromatic program. using multisamples, you can create an instrument within a INST program without sacrificing your formants by pitching a single note further than it wants to go. in INST programs, functions like FILTER, AMP, LFO, PITCH, etc are GLOBAL. since there is no single PAD, the entire program is the "PAD" and those functions are applied over the entire program.

Yeah that's a good idea. Let's keep this topic going.
I've been really busy, but definitely wanna contribute when I can.

There's alot of good samples to make instrument programs from the Akai Japan Download Of The Week thread that I update in the Off Topic forum.
I need to update the archive, since it's been a minute.

Nym's right on point with his explanation to CommanderRobot. So with that in mind and all the free samples that we got access to, this is gonna be alot of fun!

just preset templates for now:

Instrument: for C1 . F1 .... to c5. F5

guys, any more instruments you wanna share?

rhodes with velocity layers

Will these work on OS1?

Good point!
I thought it would because it's drum based but it doesn't. I just tried and it comes out a bit garbled. But works fine with OS2.

the previous message referred to the rhodes one. All the other programs are purely instrument based, so only work in OS2. There are however, a few programs within antonym's great download link above that are drum based but I haven't tried them in OS1.

You can of course use all the samples and create your own programs or come on board the OS2 gravy train for a bug fixing ride...

Once you have OS2, you can always change between the 2 by holding Tap Tempo on boot up...

I meant to post an inst. program I made, but it is pretty weak compared to the stuff y'all have been sharing. I need to step it up first.

I've finished some, but I don't know how well I've done and what I could do to make them better...
