I’m super happy with the result. Now fabla really sound good! It rocks!! I’m pretty sure it’s going to be one of the favorite engines for drums in zynthian.
That seems to be awesome…
I just tried it, but couldn’t add it to a chain. I’m stuck in the “Adding Processor” screen after choosing fabla as an engine
BTW: Shouldn’t it be in the sampler category?

Hi, sorry, I’m late to the party. Updating latest vangelis causes that:

I noticed that when I wanted to start surge, which is now missing. I did not mess with any of the mentioned folders at all. Also these Dexed preset folders were created just on that update (time stamp 10 minutes ago) and I don’t know what they do there at this location.
In fact yesterday evening I did update just from admin menu and errors occured which I wasn’t able to catch. Afterwards zynth did not boot, so I just tried to update today over ssh and ethernet and zynth got back to life afterwards.
I had some impressions the sd could be corrupted somehow (see the latest “pan flute incident”, which I was able to solve by just removing and uploading the respective sample files again) and an sd corruption which occured during my encoder soldering action due to unintended power loss. But I reimaged that sd afterwards.
Maybe worth noting I use a 256GB SD, which from reading here seems to be not recommended somehow.
Now a proud owner of the V5.1 kit, I’m trying to tame the beast… I came across this rather old thread after having tried the various drum plugins. I was using ORAM but just updated to Vangelis to benefit from these improvements, but…
I hear clicks upon release, don’t know if it’s the same issue as the one mentioned here. What I experience is the following: set a faily long decay time, a fairly low sustain level, and a not too short release time. Use a fairly long and clean sample (like classic 808 kick long.wav). Play a note and release it shortly => it clicks. My feeling is that the release segment starts from sustain level, instead of current level, so if you release the key before having reached sustain segment (i.e. during decay), you get a click as the amplitude abruptly jumps from current to sustain level.
Couldn’t figure out how to navigate within zynthian file system for loading sample files : can I go anywhere else than current fabla preset directory + capture folder? If I want to copy a bunch of drum samples to Zynthian then build kits in Fabla by picking some, where should I put all these wav files?
Also, this may not be trivial to implement, but when browsing sample files in fabla, a preview would be really helpful, i.e.: when you scroll through wave files, the highlighted file should be loaded on the fly so you can hear it right away if you send the corresponding Note On (and if you happen to press “back” it will simply reload the file that was loaded before you entered the file browser). As of now, you must validate, then go back to file selection mode again, which could be pretty cumbersome if you had dozens of different kicks to chose from (see previous item…)
