The Drummer's Gigsaw: BLUES-BASE (testing)

[Philippe Hezaine]

Hi all,

I publish this BLUES-BASE in a relatively rough state for two reasons:

Firstly you can try more deeply the Gigsaw as it's explained in the
README+Tutoriels. I assume and believe it's working for you though I
still get a single feedback from a guy running AV Linux. Good news! It
is positive. ;=)

Secondly because so far I'm not totally fixed about the way to sort out
the patterns. Well! It's a Jigsaw. How to sort out a jigsaw?
(I wanted to talk with my psychoanalyst but he only speaks in Lisp
language.)
From my experiences I reach the point as follows:

A BASE is organized in 5 groups if they exist:
  1. SIDESTICK (ss)
  2. ACOUSTIC SNARE (sna)
  3. ELECTRIC SNARE (sne)
  4. Others sounds  (if they exists without snares )
  5. COLOR of SOUND (sounds mixed together. ex: sna + sne + tamb)

Each group is subdivided as follows (if they exists):
  Ex. for ACOUSTIC SNARE
      SNA + HIHATS
      sna hhpedal
      sna hhclosed
      sna hhc + hhopen
      sna hho alone
      SNA + CYMBALS
      sna cymra or cymrb
      SNA + PERCUSSIONS
      sna tambourine
      sna cabasa
      sna cab maracas
 ... etc...

I would be glad if someone has an opinion about this classification.
Hum... Ideas, opinions, suggestions, drawbacks are welcome. :=)

It's useless to download again the last Gigsaw.tar.bz2 (01-10-2009) if
it works for you. Just download the BLUES-BASE and put it in the
"Bibliotheque". And play with it in your workroom, i.e in MA-BASE after
you have pasted and renamed MY-SONG-blank.ly.

You'll find the BLUES-BASE here:
