Audiobus: Use your music apps together.
What is Audiobus? — Audiobus is an award-winning music app for iPhone and iPad which lets you use your other music apps together. Chain effects on your favourite synth, run the output of apps or Audio Units into an app like GarageBand or Loopy, or select a different audio interface output for each app. Route MIDI between apps — drive a synth from a MIDI sequencer, or add an arpeggiator to your MIDI keyboard — or sync with your external MIDI gear. And control your entire setup from a MIDI controller.

Good Lord. Whenever scripting enters the mix, my eyes glaze over and the tinnitus ramps up.
It makes a lot of sense, though.

As for .sfz - yes, it's a great format! I'm sure I've seen this quoted in the debate somewhere (although I forget who it was, on which board - sorry!).

I have my own standard these days:
Kit_Name_01_bd.wav
Kit_Name_02_sd.wav
Kit_Name_03_ch.wav
Kit_Name_04_oh.wav
etc.
Not sure but Reverb is a pretty well respected and quality site, and everything I have from them is real good quality. They also have some free multisample packs for Oberheim, Prophet-6, Casio, that sound good. When COVID first started they had 4 Famous Studio multilayered Drum Packs for free - Fame Studios, Chess Records, Stax, and Hitsville USA, they are now only on sale. I got all 4 for free and they all sound great.
I use Digistix. Been waiting for a sale to also get EG pulse. There are some good IAA options as well. SDS-x which was free for a short while, but I believe is back to full price. Koala too.
This!
How in the world is xkcd so consistently on point?
Standards?
Dude's obsessed with the crux. The stick figures are a clue. Thing Explainer is another clue.
For the sake of the thread, there are some nice round-robin kits linked in the description to this video. A Korg Rhythm 55B and a Roland TR-77, both with many hits for each sound

Holy wow! Thank you. Want this immediately but having trouble finding an ebook version. Not on iBooks or Amazon anyway.
Just a reminder, ^ this trick still works. Had some fun with it.
In my search for acoustic drum samples I've found 2 sites which offer BF sales at the moment : Sample Drum Shop and Cult Drum Sound.
Does anybody have ever used these samples libraries ?
If so, can someone tell me if these samples are "easy" to set kits up in apps like BM3 or Audiolayer ?
I haven't personally used Sample Drum Shop or Cult Drum Sound, but when considering drum sample libraries for apps like BM3 or Audiolayer, it's essential to check for compatibility. Look for formats supported by the apps (e.g., WAV, AIFF) and ensure the samples come organized for easy kit setup. User reviews on forums or their respective websites can provide insights into the user experience and ease of integration with different apps. Always verify compatibility and user feedback before making a purchase for a seamless integration into your preferred music production setup.
Thanks for your advices. Back in 2021, I purchased a kit on Cult Drum Sound and am still very happy to use it
