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 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:

• Configured playback mode

• Sample sequence assignments

• Proper group organization for round robin playback

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:

• WAV header information

• Sample metadata

• Potential compatibility issues

• Recommendations for fixes

IMPORTANT: Always use absolute paths (e.g., 'C:/Users/username/Documents/Samples/kick.wav') rather than relative paths.

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:

• Configured mic bus routing

• Volume control mappings

• MIDI CC assignments

• Complete routing matrix for all samples

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:

1. 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"} ] }] }

2. Advanced Configuration (multi-mic kit with controls): { "globalSettings": { "velocityLayers": [ { "low": 1, "high": 127, "name": "full" } ], "drumControls": { "kick": { "pitch": { "default": 0, "min": -12, "max": 12 }, "envelope": { "attack": 0.001, "decay": 0.5, "sustain": 0, "release": 0.1 } } }, "micBuses": [ { "name": "Close Mic", "outputTarget": "MAIN_OUTPUT", "volume": { "default": 0, "midiCC": 20 } } ] }, "drumPieces": [{ "name": "Kick", "rootNote": 36, "samples": [ { "path": "C:/Samples/Kick_Close.wav", "micConfig": { "position": "close", "busIndex": 0 } } ], "muting": { "tags": ["kick"], "silencedByTags": [] } }] }

Success Response: Returns complete XML structure with:

• Organized sample groups

• Velocity layer mappings

• Muting group configurations

• All sample references and settings

• Advanced features when using AdvancedDrumKitConfig
