Example

Required/Mandatory

• Create a file or run from command line if you prefer:

const dkx = require('drumkitxml');

• The an input path with your samples would be nice, actually mandatory:

const samplesPath = './my808/';

Optional

• You might want to specify the extensions in case of multiple export formats in directory/path/folder, default wav.

const extension = 'flac';

• Where to export the file. default ./drumkit.xml

const exportFile = './test_drumkit.xml';

• Metadata for the header

const name = 'Linn';
const info = `Drum samples from Linn
    http://www.wavealchemy.co.uk/drum-samples/ty1/
    Generated at ${new Date().toISOString()}`;
const author = 'Wave Alchemy';
const license = 'Wave Alchemy says use for free but not for commercial use';

• Finally:

dkx(samplesPath, extension, exportFile, name, author, info, license);

• Results:

<drumkit_info>
    <name>Linndrum</name>
    <author>Wave Alchemy</author>
    <info>Linndrum samples
    http://www.wavealchemy.co.uk/drum-samples/ty1/
