4.0.0 + Gretch Jazzkit and 3 more kits

Drumlabooh 4.0.0

What's new?
The first and visible one - "Analog" saturator slider at the main screen, applied to the whole mix at the end of the signal flow. Move the slider to make tiny and weak drums bigger and stronger, if that you need.
This version also introduces new multi-sampling mode, where the engine plays sample layers according to MIDI velocity, but the velocity's value is not included to the final signal calculation formula. It's useful when we have too quiet sampled layers. Read https://github.com/psemiletov/drum_sklad for the details of such option at the drumkit.
New compilation flag for the packagers - use cmake -DINSTALLKITS=OFF to disable fetching and installing the drumkits, so now you can build just the package with the binaries, and make separated package with kits from https://github.com/psemiletov/drum_sklad/archive/refs/heads/main.zip
Speaking of the kits. Now you can place them also to $HOME/drum_sklad (to simpilify keeping them up-to-date in the case of the manual installing/updating via git).
And, the new kits:

1. Gretch Jazzkit - sampled from famous Gretch drums and cymbals, compiled from C0 sample packs of Bigjoedrummer and Shpira, and includes, among others: Gretsch Cat Maple 22 Bass Drum, Premier Artist Maple snare 14x5.5,
   Gretsch Catalina Maple floor tom 14 inch
   Gretsch Catalina Maple tom 12 inch, Gretsch Catalina Maple tom 10 inch, Gretsch Catalina Maple tom 8 inch.

2. The Almighty Sound Drumkit - another acoustic drumkit at this update, sampled by the member rock band The Almighty Sound, Paul Xavier Luke. Includes samples: 1966 Ludwig Acrolite snare drum, 20" Zildjian Ride Cymbal, 16" Yamaha DP Floor Tom, 22" Yamaha DP Kick Drum, 13" Yamaha DP Riding Tom, Paiste 18" Crash Cymbal, Sabian B8 Pro Hi Hat/

3. Kits of sampled rare old drum machines: MTI AO-1, GEM Drum15

Stay tuned, Peter Semiletov!

3.0.1

VST3i build fix

3.0.0

Drumlabooh 3.0.0

What's new?

Drumlabooh cmake-project for the build subsystem now supports old and modern cmake versions. Also, JUCE version 8 library is used instead of JUCE 7.
Some good old drumkits were been added: ELI CompuRhythm CR 7030, SoundMaster SR-88, Technics PCM DP50, Cheetah SpecDrum Afro, Cheetah SpecDrum Electro, Cheetah SpecDrum Latin, Cheetah SpecDrum Standard.
At DAW project, Drumlabooh now saves the drumkit path in the portable way, i.e., if your drumkit is located at some subdirectory of $HOME, that "home" part of the path will be saved as the macro. Here is a simple example.

1. On Computer A, you have the drumkit "test" located at /home/userA/drumlabooh_kits/test.
2. On Computer B, you have the drumkit "test" located at /home/userB/drumlabooh_kits/test.
3. You can freely interchange DAW project that uses Drumlabooh with the drumkit "test", between Computer A and Computer B. Drumlabooh will load the kit "test" anyway, evaluating the actual home directory of the user.

Multi-channel mode - MIDI velocity fix

Multi-channel mode - MIDI velocity fix

2.3.0

Some GUI fixes, the build is synced to JUCE 7.0.10.

2.2.0

Recently I've discovered a strange issue - the crash when Reaper rendered the project (that have the Drumlabooh track) with the samplerate differerent than session's sample rate. The investigation led me to the mystic behavior of the underlying libraries, so I rewrote sample loader a lot. As far I tested, it works well with Reaper, Ardour, Muse and Bitwig. And as the bonus - samples are loaded a bit faster now.
P.S. +MP3 samples support
