Audio layer and other options?

There’s a “little” detail in AudioLayer that makes me choose Drambo, but maybe I’m missing something... I usually import samples from a folder and use name mapping to be able to quickly make an instrument.
The difference is that AudioLayer doesn’t “fill the gaps” where Drambo does map a sample until the next one.. Here’s a screenshot of the same samples (C samples for different scales, C0, C1, C2...) in AudioLayer and Drambo. With AudioLayer you’d have to extend each one to fill the gaps.

I believe if you select all of those notes in AL and drag one that all of them will be dragged over at the same time?

Don't get me wrong, I'm about to give up on AL myself due to the large number of bugs introduced in the last update. Hence why I'm looking closely at Drambo. Thanks, @tk32 for tackling random robin!

Here’s a proof of concept for random robin. I just need to tidy/package it up and turn it into a shareable module.

If you haven't, report it to @Virsyn (via email/their web site) that looks like a bug. It did not used to import like that. It might have popped in
In the most recent update.

This is AWESOME, thank you. Just so I'm clear how it works: the "Number" governs the number of samples in the random robin, yes?

Kind of - but you may get unexpected results if you change the values.

this version is only designed to work with 5 samples. I will make a new version that allows custom sample numbers.

Choke groups?

The sampler module chokes itself by default, afaik. These were only made in a very short space of time, as a proof of concept, so the next versions (coming soon) will be much more robust.

Thanks @aleyas, @Intrepolicious

@soundtemple PolyPhase is IAA so cannot be run inside Drambo I don't think.

All - is the learning curve for Drambo steep?

In the context of what you’ve said you’re looking for in this thread, I’d say it’s not bad. You can focus on just learning basics of the three samplers (Shot, Flexi, and Sampler) and build from there if you like, or not. When you think about it, if you were to learn three separate sampler apps, you’d be learning three totally separate apps, with different contexts, quirks, features, and interfaces. At least with Drambo there”s a unified approach between all modules.

The main challenge with Drambo can sometimes beat not to get distracted by all that it can do. It can be dead simple because you can strip it down to just what you need, and nothing else if you want.

I need to keep this in mind next time I try to dive in. Cheers.
