I thank you much for your help!


With MIDI you can usually figure out a way to send each drum to desired 'Port' and assign a given sound. 'How' would depend on the software. For some this is the next layer of complexity and 'Aha' at the same time.

With MIDI you can have every drum but one (or 2 or 3..) assigned to a given sample set and those other drums assigned to another.
Otherwise you would be relying on the sample set creator to create the 'perfect drum set' for your need.

Learn this feature and you'll have much more control. It'll take effort, but will be rewarded with the results.

Many times I have used a high hat sound from a sample set that is different than the rest of the basic drums .. even more often with the snare (or ride).





Yes indeed. This I knew, but (for me) that gets really crazy, really quick! I think (for now) I am going to stick to the song writing side, and dabble in this...if that's possible!

Is it the control freak in me that would want this though? ha!

Anyway, I did figure a few things out. One of them is I do feel I should at least separate the midi tracks from the aspect of changing the velocities of the notes. For some reason, most of them recorded at 127. I don' hit that hard consistently, so I'm guessing it's a setting.

By splitting them I can mess with the velocities easier in piano roll.

Latest attempt...

More slush than Shhh...but getting there?
