How to Build New Instruments
Which kind of Instruments can I build with DiViNe Samples ?
The DiViNe platform allows you to build three different types of musical instruments:
- Instruments based on one-shot audio samples assigned to separate keys.
- General MIDI-compatible drum kits with multiple audio samples assigned to separate keys.
- Tonal multi-sampled instruments with one or several velocity layers.
