Dear Squids,
Thanks for responding to my other post, I think there might be a problem with kit 2 though...
According to http://www.oceanwaydrums.net/features.php, it says:
"Snare On and Snare Off versions refer specifically to the sound of the Kick Drum and the Toms. Snare On means that the Kick and Toms include the rattle of the snare drum. Snare Off means that the snares were turned off during the striking of the Kick and Toms."
I think there is a problem in files I downloaded.
There are different tom files for snare on and off, namely:
DW Toms - SnOn_031.nkx = snare on
DW Toms - Snf_030.nkx = snare off
However, both download packages (snare on and snare off) share the same 1 file for the kick drum, namely:
Big Yamaha Bass Drum - SnOn_016.nkx = snare on
Shouldn't there also be a file for "snare off" called:
Big Yamaha Bass Drum - Snf_016.nkx ??
Maybe someone forgot to add this file to the snare off version of kit2?
If so, it needs to be fixed so I can re-download a fixed version of "dl-owdmt02sno1_owe.zip" that has the correct file instead of "Big Yamaha Bass Drum - SnOn_016.nkx," which is what it has now.
Thanks for your help,
HG
PS Kit 2 is awesome... when I hit that kick drum I feel like Zeus shooting thunder from the sky....

That kit's kick is a rare thing in that it is a concert bass drum. It's there as snare on or snare off patch mostly for the purposes of being part of a snare on or snare off kit. But actually that's one of the few kits where it does share the same samples for both like the snare (the snares are always actually ON in a snare off kit - at least for OWD... not in all other SR products). So, there is no other NKX for this kick.
