It's possible.

I agree...I think it was wrong for me to say "audio-loop drum kit". What I meant and should have said was, "audio sampled drum kit".

Here's where I was coming from; a while back I emailed Ketron support and asked the question, "With the Audya playing a SMF, can I substitute the midi standard drum kit with one of the new audio drum kits?"

They answered, "Yes!"

So now I'm thinking that they have a drum kit chuck full of live audio samples. I know that GEM did something similar with their R.A.S.S. (Real Audio Synchro Style) technology. They used audio samples that were triggered with midi events. They offered some "Live Drum Kit" RASS files that sounded quite good.

Then when the Audya manual was released and I saw this on page 47:



I guess I was thinking that it would be possible to use Audio Drums in SMFs and I was very curious to hear samples of that. But like you said, maybe I'm not quite getting it. Maybe I'm thinking something is there and it's not.

Dave, you just let me know when you want me to Photoshop a nice chicken hat on ya. You can use the picture for your next business cards (free of charge).
