DrumStar FAQ
How do I . . .
Create a high hat choke?
- Assign the open high hat sample's 'exclusive' parameter to a value (1-8).
- Assign the high hat pedal sample's 'excl off' parameter to the same value.
- Adjust the high hat pedal 'release time' parameter to taste. (0=immediately)
Preview samples
- Sample editor: Double-click on a sample name.
- Sample browser: Right-click on a sample.
Use DrumStar as a standalone drum machine?
You can use savihost, a free vst host to effectively run DrumStar as a standalone drum machine.
- Download savihost
- Put savihost.exe in the same directory as drumstar.dll.
- Rename savihost.exe to drumstar.exe.
Sampler
What types of samples does DrumStar support?
DrumStar supports most standard .wav formats.
How many samples can be used in a track?
Good question, I've got some instruments that have 1400+ samples, and DrumStar shows no signs of slowing down.
Sequencer
Why is there a delay before I hear changes in my pattern?
DrumStar streams the samples from disk a bit before they are needed. This allows for more complex instrument mappings, but you won't hear changes immediately.
Sales
How are sales handled?
Sales are handled through share*it.
Copy Protection
What type of copy protection is used?
DrumStar uses a keyfile which will be emailed to you upon purchase.
