Description: |ADGMaker!| # ADGMaker
        
        Automatically create and install hundreds of awesome Free (as in
        Freedom!) Ableton Live Instuments from the super high-quality
        `Philharmonia
        Orchestra <http://www.philharmonia.co.uk/explore/make_music/>`__
        samples.
        
        Installation
        ============
        
        ADGMaker requires that you have Python, OSX, and Ableton Live installed
        already. Then, simply:
        
        ::
        
            $ pip install adgmaker
        
        Automatic Usage
        ===============
        
        The simplest way to use ADGMaker is with the '--all' and '--install'
        arguments, which will fetch the instrument archives from the internet,
        create ADGs, and install them into your Ableton installation
        automatically:
        
        ::
        
            $ adgmaker --all --install
        
        Then go to File -> Manage Files -> Manage User Library and use your new
        instruments! You'll see them under the "Drums" tab. Tada!
        
        Manual Usage
        ============
        
        Download an instrument from `the Philharmonia Orchestra
        website <http://www.philharmonia.co.uk/explore/make_music/double_bass>`__
        and unzip it.
        
        Then, (from a virtualenv), run:
        
        ::
        
            python adgmaker.py double_bass/
        
        Then copy all of the .adg files to:
        
        ::
        
             ~/Music/Ableton/User\ Library/Presets/Instruments/Drum\ Rack/ 
        
        (or wherever your Ableton is installed).
        
        Then copy all of the mp3s to:
        
        ::
        
            ~/Music/Ableton/User\ Library/Samples/Imported
        
        Then go to File -> Manage Files -> Manage User Library and use your new
        instruments!
        
        Caveats
        =======
        
        Some of the ADGs only have a few items in them, but most instruments
        have at least a few ADG files that have a couple of complete scales. All
        of the percussion instruments have been combined into a single
        percussion ADG.
        
        Some of the samples have a slight delay, so you might have to manually
        set the sample start time to your liking. I also like to add a little
        bit of fade out, reverb, and put them all into the same choke group,
        depending on the sound I want.
        
        TODO
        ====
        
        -  Support other sound archives?
        -  Support making multi-instrument racks?
        -  Tests / CI!
        
        Enjoy!
