orDrumbox

orDrumbox is a pattern oriented audio sequencer.

You 've got patterns of 16 (or 32 or what you want) beats that allow you to create real songs by assembling them.

Each pattern is composed of tracks.

Each track contains one sound. The sounds can be pitched and mixed and panoramized, and muted/unmuted with the interface. You can add loop points at the step you want independently on each track.

Each track is composed of notes (one note by beat). On each note, you can independently control pitch (from -12 to +12 semitones) and volume.

No practical limit on the number of different sounds, the number of patterns in a song , or the number of tracks in a pattern

An automatic fill engine using artificial intelligence technology is accessible on each track. You can add melodic scales and semi-random notes to let the orDrumbox compose rhythmic and melodic patterns under your control. It's designed for creativity. Just define some rules and the orDrumbox will play generating beats variations and melodic lines.

You can import, create, modify and save Drumkits. A Drumkit is a sound library, (an assorted set of instruments). You can import your own sound files and use them as instruments with the orDrumbox

orDrumbox uses standard (windows) WAV files for drum samples, so you can easily add your own or download wave from the net.

The orDrumbox use Natural Language Processing for matching sounds to tracks and for typing sounds (amazing). Just name a track with a "standard like" name of instrument (i.e: "electric bass 1" or just "bd" ) and the orDrumbox will assign it to the nearest instrument available in the current drum kit.

This drum box automatically stretch loops to fit your rhythm. You just have to tag a wav file into loop with the interface.

The orDrumbox generates and exports patterns and songs in 16 bits /44 Khz/stereo sounds (CD-quality), so you can re-use them in any other sound application. You can hear some demo songs.

Your songs are loaded and saved in a internal XML format.

Extraction interface with Audio CD information










What's CDex?
CDex can extract the data directly (digital) from an Audio CD, which is generally called a CD Ripper or a CDDA utility. The resulting audio file can be a plain WAV file (useful for making compilation audio CDs) or the ripped audio data can be compressed using an audio encoder. Many encoders are supported, to name a few:

* Lame MP3 encoder
* Internal MP2 encoder
* APE lossles audio format
* Ogg Vorbis encoder
* The Windows MP3 encoder (Fraunhofer MP3 encoder)
* NTT VQF encoder
* FAAC encoder
* Windows WMA8 encoder

In addition, WAV files on the hard drive can be converted to a Compressed Audio File (and visa versa). CDex also supports many audio file tag formats like the ID3V1 and ID3V2 tags, which can be automatically inserted as part of the ripping process.

Feature List

* Direct recording of multiple tracks
* Read / store album information from/to the cdplayer.ini file
* Read / store album information from/to a local and/or remote CD Database (CDDB)
* Support CD-Text (if your CD-drive supports it)
* Advanced jitter correction (based on the cd-paranoia ripping library)
* Indicates track progress and jitter control
* Normalization of audio signal
* Supports many CD-Drive from many manufacters
* Conversion of external WAV files
* Support for M3U and PLS play list files
* Best of all, it's free (GPL license, source code available)
* Serveral languages are supported

System Requirements

* Windows 9x series:
o Windows 95
o Windows 98
o Windows ME
* Windows NT series:
o Windows NT
o Windows 2000
o Windows XP
o Windows Vista

Adaptec's ASPI manager (should be included in Windows 95 & 98)
Take a look at the FAQ page where to get some ASPI drivers.
* CD-ROM which is capable of extracting digital audio (IDE-ATAPI or SCSI drive)
* And finally, a lot of free disc space to record to your CDs ;-)
