5Simpledrums is a simple MESS-synth sampler (MusE Experimental Soft
6Synth) aiming at becoming a simple, tightly integrated sampler for
7MusE, specifically aimed at drumsamples.
8
9Features:
10- 16 channels/samples (1 sample/channel)
11- Simple controls for each individual channel: volume, balance, noteoff-ignore, channel on/off
12- Main volume
13- 4 LADSPA send-effects can be used, 4 effect taps for each individual channel
14- All channel parameters are controllable via the GUI, or by MusE:s controller handling (controller pane in pianoroll/drumeditor)
15- All effect parameters can be controlled via the GUI, or by Sysex messages (f.ex. turn effect on/off, modify effect parameters)
16- Complete synth state (fx-parameters, samples etc) is saved together with MusE project, and restored later when loaded
17- Samples automatically resampled when loaded (if needed)
18
19That's all folks!

22Known issues:
23-------------
24- Not the prettiest gui in the world
25- All samples are read directly into memory (no caching)
26- Some obscure LADSPA-effects make SimpleSynth segfault
27- More...
28
29-------------
30Future plans:
31-------------
32- Fix all the known issues! ;-)
33- Sample loops
34- Sample offset variation w respect to note velocity
35- Treble/eq-controller for each individual channel
36- Treble level variation w respect to note velocity
37- More...
