    NTONYX has announced DrumWalker 1.4 - a MIDI FX plug-in for Cakewalk software, capable of converting a standard MIDI track into a Sonic Foundry Vegas Drums project. DrumWalker 1.4 is an easy way to create a Sonic Foundry Vegas drums project on the base of a Cakewalk/Sonar drum MIDI track.

    By selecting a drum track in Cakewalk and launching DrumWalker, you can very easily assign your WAV-files (up to 3 Mb in size) as samples to each drum and start Vegas. As the result you get a separate track for each individual drum in Vegas and separate clips for each drum stroke, where the loudness of a clip is calculated individually on the basis of the velocity parameter. DrumWalker makes it possible to define the following settings which can be used in the Vegas project:

     

    • Control of the Sample dynamics with the help of three modes: Normalizer, Expander, Ultra-Maximizer
    • Attack and release time for each drum
    • Interaction of Front Attack and Back Release parameters with the time interval between the played notes of the same drums
    • Interaction of Front Attack and Back Release parameters with the Velocity
    • Independent Envelope control (Soft, Line, Hard, Smart) of the Attack and Release for each drum; automatic generation of the envelope in Smart mode based on the Velocity parameter
    • Pitch Shift in the range -12 to +12 semi-tones for each drum
    • Each Vegas track can be processed by DirectX Plug-ins. The obtained result is later mixed down by Vegas into a stereo WAV-file for subsequent insertion into any unoccupied Cakewalk audio track, if necessary.

     

    Sonic Foundry Vegas in combination with DrumWalker 1.4 can be used not only as a multichannel mixdown software, but also as a drum "sampler". The unique feature of such a sampler is a wide dynamic range and extremely flexible channel-by-channel editing of every sample for each note of the MIDI part in the process of the final mixdown.

    Additional Features

     

    • Preview (audition) of WAV-files and launching from within DrumWalker any stand-alone third party Wave Editor for WAV-file modification
    • Preset saving of all DrumWalker user-defined settings
    • Automatic recall of file paths and quick access to the folders containing WAV-files
    • DrumWalker comes with an Acoustic GM Demo Set and Electric GM Demo Set (each drum as a separate sample).

     

    System Requirements

    DrumWalker 1.4 (MIDI FX plug-in) works with following Cakewalk software: Sonar 1.0, Cakewalk Pro Audio 9, Cakewalk Pro Audio Deluxe 9, Cakewalk Home Studio 9, Cakewalk Guitar Studio 2, Cakewalk Pro Audio 8, Cakewalk Professional 8, and Cakewalk Home Studio 8.

    DrumWalker 1.4 is compatible with Sonic Foundry Vegas Pro 1.0, Vegas Video 1.0 & 2.0, Vegas Audio 2.0 and can use WAV files supported by Vegas, including 32-bit 96 kHz, normally not supported by hard- and software samplers.
