Retrigger Interval: How long the software will not allow a second trigger after an initial trigger. Open Threshold: What amplitude the midi note will start to draw at.Ĭlose Threshold: What amplitude the midi note will cut off at after drawing. Open up the interface for the JS:MIDI Trigger, and let’s look into the parameters on that. If you already have processing on your kick drum, just place this two plugins at the end of the chain. Place your MIDI trigger and drum module onto your kick track. This plugin allows us to have audio on our effected track, allow a percentage of the original signal through, and trigger a midi note based on the set threshold being passed by the audio signal. If you’ve been on REAPER for any length of time, you’ll have noticed that you can use any track as MIDI or Audio, but it is also capable of doing both! REAPER comes out of the box with a plugin called JS: Audio To MIDI Drum Trigger. For this example, I will be using MT PowerDrumkit 2, as it is one of the better sounding free drum plugins. Luckily for us, there is a wide array of options when it comes to drum VSTis and samples, like Toontrack’s Superior, XLN’s Addictive Drums, and Steven Slate Drums. Have a kick or snare that’s not quite cutting through how you’d like it to? There is the right way to do things, a combination of proper miccing techniques and EQ/Compression… but sometimes perhaps due to a poor initial recording, or just a lack of technical skill/software, you just can’t get it quite to where you would like to hear it. KTDrumTrigger is a VST plugin with a custom editor that triggers MIDI notes based on the sound level of the incoming audio stream in different frequency bands.
