A BeatEd fan Robenestobenz had arranged the kit using selected free samples from http://tchackpoum.free.fr web site. In his own words: "I've just put the kit together with a little bit of dynamics processing here and there. It's a very stripped down snare, kick, hats & toms kind of deal, but I've found it pretty good". The Tchackpoum kit is available from downloads page.

It seems that there will be more user created kits coming. Stay tuned!]]> Releases http://www.byterapers.com/BeatEd/blog/index.php?entry=entry080618-075753 Saku Tiainen Wed, 18 Jun 2008 04:57:53 GMT http://www.byterapers.com/BeatEd/blog/comments.php?y=08&m=06&entry=entry080618-075753 http://www.byterapers.com/BeatEd/blog/index.php?entry=entry080503-155812

- ADDED: Available sample kits are scanned at startup from C: and E: drives.
- REMOVED: Sample kit location removed from settings. Not needed anymore.
- ADDED: Sample kit ID stored in the pattern file and correct kit is loaded automatically with pattern.

NOTICE! Patterns that were saved using the earlier version does not have the sample kit tag, so the correct sample kit will not be opened. You can open the pattern, then select the default sample kit and save the file. Then it has the tag and the sample kit is loaded automatically next time. All v1.11 sample kits have tags in example pattern files.]]> Releases http://www.byterapers.com/BeatEd/blog/index.php?entry=entry080502-234426 Saku Tiainen Fri, 02 May 2008 20:44:26 GMT http://www.byterapers.com/BeatEd/blog/comments.php?y=08&m=05&entry=entry080502-234426 http://www.byterapers.com/BeatEd/blog/index.php?entry=entry080430-122905
The upcoming v1.11 release and 4 brand new sample kits are almost ready, and donations would certainly increase the motivation level and speed up the release!]]> General http://www.byterapers.com/BeatEd/blog/index.php?entry=entry080430-122905 Saku Tiainen Wed, 30 Apr 2008 09:29:05 GMT http://www.byterapers.com/BeatEd/blog/comments.php?y=08&m=04&entry=entry080430-122905 http://www.byterapers.com/BeatEd/blog/index.php?entry=entry080429-212956
And then some information for all eager donators out there. My new PayPal account has been in limited mode for a week and a half now. That means all transactions are denied until they open the account. I'll inform here when donations are available again, I hope you can wait until that :)]]> General http://www.byterapers.com/BeatEd/blog/index.php?entry=entry080429-212956 Saku Tiainen Tue, 29 Apr 2008 18:29:56 GMT http://www.byterapers.com/BeatEd/blog/comments.php?y=08&m=04&entry=entry080429-212956 http://www.byterapers.com/BeatEd/blog/index.php?entry=entry080420-183814
It should be quite bug free now, although there are certainly a lot of features that could be added or improved. But hey, this is the first actual release!

See the custom sample kit instructions

In short, get 16 audio samples and convert them to the RAW format. Then write a sample kit definition file for your samples and copy files to your phone into the BeatEd data path. Kit files will be then available for BeatEd through Load sample kit function.

BTW, I would be happy to have some other sample kits than the current default rock kit included in the download page. At least 808 synth kit and Commodore 64 SID kit would be great additions! Contact me if you have made a good kit, I can pack it in the SIS file and include it to the download page.]]> General http://www.byterapers.com/BeatEd/blog/index.php?entry=entry080419-202357 Saku Tiainen Sat, 19 Apr 2008 17:23:57 GMT http://www.byterapers.com/BeatEd/blog/comments.php?y=08&m=04&entry=entry080419-202357
