I've been advised by many folks here that using a sampler for drums is second, as you can record, tweek, and sequence the exact sound you want, and aren't dependent on what the manufacturer burned on the ROM. 3rd place goes to the better quality modules, Roland's V-Drums seemingly getting the most favorable reviews overall (I've heard a TD-8 - it's good). Better drum modules can allow tweeking, which might allow you to find a tom sound which sounds good rolled.
Well, I've actually had a bit of success with getting the leading edge off the individual hits in my rolls. I've spent about 10 hours working on trying to get some of the messages listed in the M-BD1's manual to work, and finally have gotten pretty close by adjusting a parameter called "TVF&TVA Envelope Attack Time". It works nicely for the roll on the hi tom and on the low tom... seems more like a toggle for the mids, though, which is irking me. I'm going to put a sample of pre- and post-tweaking on my site in a bit, if anyone's interested in hearing it. (That's http://www.speedlimit35.com/mbd1rolls.mp3, in case that link doesn't work.) I've been trying to find a good editor program to use with the M-BD1, without much success... I've tried SounDiver, but I'm shooting in the dark with that, and everything else seems to put the smack down on my W2k box (sudden reboots... wierd). Anyone got any suggestions, or am I gonna have to write my own bloody editor? (Well, I have been looking for a good project to learn java on...) As soon as I scrape the bucks together, I'm definitely planning on going crazy and picking up a full VPro kit... that thing is suhweet! No, I don't really play drums (I think my IQ's too high ), but I'm pretty sure that with that kit, my sequencer for tweaking, and a set of real cymbals, I'll never have to worry about the sound or realism of my drums again. ------------------ http://www.mp3.com/speedlimit35
