Hi @zynthianers!

Todays a took a little break for watching some TV and enjoyed a chapter of [  
_“Watch the Sound with Mark Ronson”_, that some fellow zynthianer recommend to me. I watched the “Drum machines” chapter and it inspired to me to finish my unfinished “Dynosaur-808” soundfont, a little exercise i started some time ago but i didn’t finish until today.

I’m quite satisfied with the result, so i’ve included the sounffont in zynthian’s collection. Also, i want to share with you, so you can give me some feedback. I used a well-known set of samples from Michael Fischer. The 116 samples are mapped in several velocity layers when it has sense, like this:

- BASS DRUM: 5 notes (31-35) with different DECAY, from short to long, each one having TONE at 5 velocity levels
- SNARE DRUM: 5 notes (36-40) with different DECAY, from short to long, each one having TONE at 5 velocity levels
- HAND CLAP: 1 notes (41) with 1 velocity level
- CLOSED HIT HAT: 1 note (42) with 1 velocity level
- OPEN HIT HAT: 1 note (43) with DECAY at 5 velocity level, from ultra-short to long
- RIM SHOT: 1 note (44) with 1 velocity level
- COW BELL: 1 note (45) with 1 velocity level
- CLAVE: 1 note (46) with 1 velocity level
- MARACAS: 1 note (47) with 1 velocity level
- LOW TOM: 5 notes (48-52) with 1 velocity level
- MID TOM: 5 notes (53-57) with 1 velocity level
- HIGH TOM: 5 notes (58-62) with 1 velocity level
- CYMBAL: 5 notes (64, 65:66, 67:68, 69:70, 71) with different DECAY, from short to long, each one having TONE at 5 velocity levels
- LOW CONGA: 5 notes (72-76) with 1 velocity level
- MID CONGA: 5 notes (77-81) with 1 velocity level
- HIGH CONGA: 5 notes (82-86) with 1 velocity level

Hi Fernando,

many thanks for this nice soundfont!!! This is totally brilliant - I’ve been looking for something like this for a long time and started collecting samples a few weeks ago. However, I haven’t found many suitable ones yet and had no idea how to put them together (probably with polyphones).

Hopefully I’ll manage to play with the Dino a bit in the next few days 🙂

SFZ is easy to write and you only need a text editor and good samples. I enjoyed building dinosaur808.

Cheers

Hi Fernando,

I just tried to install the file for `Sfizz`, but after upload webconf says

> Can’t install file: Directory doesn’t contain any SFZ file

I created a bank named `C0d3man` before - maybe this is the source of the problem? But installing into other banks does produce the same error message.

Manual installing by login with ssh does work… I tried on my v4 and v5 (v5 with the latest updates and v4 with updates from November '23).

Am I doing something wrong?

Supernice “kind of bolero with montuno” rythm, jejeje!  
**Mental note for myself:** Add the Dynosaur-808 soundfont to the oram-bookworm image 😉
