Trommler is an X-based drum machine with the following features: use of 16 bit 44100kHz mono drum samples, realtime audio output using the /dev/dsp device on Linux machines (or audio output to file), a variable number of beats per pattern, volume adjustment of drum samples, stereo panning of (mono) drum samples, and more.

The distribution comes with a binary "trommler". Just starting this binary should work in most cases. Because of space problems the binary is compiled dynamically and you will need a recent version of gtk (see next section).

If you have downloaded the Trommler tar file and the binary provided there does not work for you or you want to modify Trommler you need to recompile it.

Before you type make, say "make dep". You will need the gimp toolkit header files and
libraries to compile and link Trommler. If the compiler complains about the functions
`gtk_entry_set_max_length' and `gtk_entry_set_editable' being undefined you need to get a newer version of the gimp toolkit. If 'gtk_scrolled_window_add_with_viewport' is undefined you can try to use 'gtk_container_add' instead.

Here are some key features of "Trommler":
Distributed under the GPL.
Works under Linux and BSD.
Graphical user interface based on gtk 2.0.
Supporty complex rhythms (variable number of beats per pattern)
Virtual drum "@ACCENT" to emphasize certain beats.
16 bit 44100kHz mono drum samples (individual stereo panning and volume
adjustment)
Realtime (stereo) audio output using the OSS API.
Alternatively, audio output to file.
