  • Holding ctrl key when clicking on add bar (arrow icons) icons in loop editor duplicates the source bar.
  • MDrummerConfig contains "test sound" button toggling audio output.
  • In loopeditor double-click on a track selects all notes in it, extends current selection when holding shift. Parameters of selected notes are highlighted. New notes painted in pen mode are automatically added to the selection.
  • Time settings for MSynthesizer4NN oscillators and noise generators are now nonlinear for easier configuration in small values.
  • Spacebar in standalone MDrummer performs rhythm start/stop.
  • Delete key now works in all listboxes.
  • Fix: SSE optimizations for older processors.
  • Fix: MCompressor invalid behaviour with minimal threshold and unlinked channels with defined curvature of custom graph.
  • Fix: Loops inside VST hosts are now processed without discontinuity.
  • Fix: Rhythm generator hang in Reaper.
  • Fix: Additional rhythm properties could not be close under certain circumstances.
  • Fix: Import of NI Battery 1.0 kits.

MDrummer 2.05 changes

  • Global mixer - now you can easily manipulate all drums with their volumes, panoramas, pitches and channel mappings inside a single window. An output peak meters for each channel make the mixing even more simple.
  • Input MIDI filters provide an increadibly versatile way to manipulate incoming MIDI data. You can map each MIDI key to up to 4 different drums depending on the velocity and also define input velocity transformation using our shape graphs, which make things like compression unbelievably simple. Using automatic calibration you can attach and adapt any source (like keyboard or electric drums) in a few seconds.
  • Output MIDI filters provide an easy way to attach other sound generators to the output of MDrummer. For example MDrummer can control external keyboards or software like Addictive drums and EZ Drummer just using MIDI inputs in your VST host.
  • WAVe output - MDrummer can now record its output and save it as a WAV file(s). This is very useful for drummers or anyone using mostly the standalone version to record their performance.
  • Several effect plugins have been improved in performance and features. See free VST plugins for more information.
  • Fix: MIDI device selection.
  • Fix: Occasional deadlocks caused by MIDI.

MDrummer 2.04 changes

  • Significant performance improvements.
  • MAnalyzer improvements & frequency smoothing.

MDrummer 2.03 changes

  • Changes in MCompressor:
    • Smart units showing important dB values in 100% zoom.
    • Non-linear attack/release time editors for better configuration of small values.
    • Added gain-reduction and output level meter.
    • Added output-gain parameter.
    • Attack/release resized to 0-1000ms.
    • Fix: Unlinked channels processing.
  • Changes in MEqualizer:
    • Smart units showing important frequency values in 100% zoom.
    • Q now editable using mouse wheel over a band-point.
  • Playback disabled during time-consuming operations (such as drumset loading) to minimize pops.
  • Fix: Editor size in Reaper.
  • Fix: SSE2 optimizations.
  • Fix: Support for energyXt1/2.

MDrummer 2.02 changes

  • Added collection of 10 new afro-cuban rhythms and base rhythms.
  • Added note name map for Reaper for easier editing of MIDI command drum tracks.
  • Fix: Reaper support (SSE2 optimization for nonaligned memory caused exceptions).
  • Fix: MCompressor behaviour for unlinked channels.

MDrummer 2.01 changes

  • Performance improvement for SSE2 : MEqualizer (400%), MCompressor (50%), kernel (40%)
  • Fix: Pitch-bend, which casued in some VST hosts (Reaper, Sonar) immediate change of global pitch into -24 semitones.
  • Fix: Synchronization for multibar rhythms.
  • Fix: Samplerate changings.

MDrummer 2 changes


Since there were too many changes, we present only the most important ones:
  • 5GB of hq multisamples of 2 drumsets.
  • 12000+ loops including world music, new rhythms...
  • MMultiSampler now processes new multisample format mixing several sound sources, layers and alterning hits.
  • MIDI jamming mode.
  • MDrummerConfig can set number of output channels and routing to the physical device channels.
  • Multithreading synchronization has been heavily improved and MDrummer now supports latency under 1ms and almost no lags on time-consuming operations like drumset loading.
  • Rhythm partial loading - load verse, load chorus.
  • Additional rhythm controls - verse 1, verse 2 and chorus.
  • Note offset is now tempo-independent, which makes it an ideal way for flams.
  • ASIO driver now uses separate threads and supports latency under 1ms.
  • MDrummer can automatically variate cymbals - randomly switch between crashes, splashes and chinese, which is important for world-style breaks.
  • Tom offset - you can using one tracker let mdrummer use higher/lower toms.
  • Drumset load & replace loads a drumset, joins it and removes any original drums. Useful for choosing appropriate components.
  • MCompressor has 3 knee modes.
  • MSaturator has 7 soft limiting modes.
  • Equalizer has now 6 bands with 7 possible modes for each band + visualization.
  • New plugins such as MAnalyzer.
  • Drum multiselection and multiediting.
  • Several speed and sound quality improvements.
