DRUMGIZMO(1)

NAME
drumgizmo - drum application

SYNOPSIS
drumgizmo [OPTIONS] drumkitfile

DESCRIPTION

DrumGizmo is an open source cross-platform drum plugin and stand-alone application. It is comparable to several commercial drum plugin products.

DrumGizmo uses an open drumkit file format, allowing the community to create their own drumkits. It has multichannel output, making it possible to mix it just the way you would a real drumkit. The optional built-in humanizer analyzes the midi notes, adjusting velocities on-the-fly. This client can be a stand-alone midi renderer, generating .wav files, 1 for each channel. Or use DrumGizmo as a software sampler for an electronic drumkit. There are also plugin versions available.
