Yes but for a single first or last note it won't work and would anyway be tricky to automate perfectly between notes if the track is poly and portamento not used throughout.

As it is now, the pitch bend is set to an octave I believe, 2 seminotes would be nice to have, although I've made it apporoximately with some automation editing so no biggie. Just nice to play it 'live' with pitch bend is all.

Hm interesting, a BD pitching down is always a cool sound but how did you get it to work consistently between hits as you need a note to slide down from, no? Or did you just bounce it and copy the wave? Is that allowed?

V'ger, I entered the bass drum notes as normal on the piano roll, I then copied them and pasted them an octave down, and dragged them to come in just after each higher note. I adjusted the higher notes to where I wanted the initial pitch, and then adjusted the lower notes to the destination pitch. I twiddled the portamento to adjust the speed of the sweep, tweaked the note lenths, then put a little bit of release on the adsr to produce a slight 'tail'

You can do this with any sound, although poly is trickier, and will probably demand more of the cpu .... just overlap those notes where you need some bending .. and play around with the position and amount of overlap, and porta level

Ah yes of course, I will try that out. Generally struggling a lot with drum sounds though. Snare is near impossible to create, so any pointers welcome..

As you may have read, I have offered kick and snare presets. You will want to tweak these rather than use them as they are I'm sure, but the offer still stands .. they may be of help in creating your own sounds. PM me with an email address if you want them. I'll be off out fairly soon ... got a gig .. but I'll certainly be around tomorrow to send them.

Well its 2.15am here, and rather than go to bed after doin a gig, I had a listen to my second track, tweaked it a little, and it sounds all the better for that descending pitch on the kik! ... cheers V'ger

So anyway, I've uploaded it!!

Host: FL9
Sounds: 13x Flex-N-Stein 4.01
Fx: 5x mda Dynamics, 1x mda Delay, 1x Kjaerhus Classic Reverb

Really nice drum sounds there from the FNS.

Cheers V'ger ... presets sent.

OK, submitting that last track based on a post gig, early morning, small speakers/headphones listen was a bad idea!

I'll mix it properly and re-up when I get a minute .... let this be a lesson to us all!

tattiemannie · Post by **tattiemannie** » Sun Dec 20, 2009 10:30 pm

OK, thats a better mix ... could be better still, but I'm not for fussing about it.

I also noticed I had missed out one instance of Classic reverb on the accompaying text .. this now sorted

Thanks. Very sporting to send those out to a 'competitor'..

tattiemannie · Post by **tattiemannie** » Mon Dec 21, 2009 12:14 am

No probs V'ger, you'll find the competition fairly friendly around here

..... you can stick that quote back at me a few days from the end of the voting phase!

1 day and about 18 hours to go!

Indeed! How ever, you gotta' watch that Mac of BIOnighT dude, as he has hired electrical outlet spies/assassins to eliminate the competition.
