session drummer:disabling velocity levels
How do i remove the velocity levels implied by session drummer?
on first glance an easy question, but i'll explain my quest further....
I am aware how to program multiple layered velocity samples assigned to midi notes over a range of midi velocities, using SFZ files.
However, it appears that session drummer applies control of the playback/ouput levels of samples relative to the midi velocity.
Assuming i have multi-samples of a drum hit they will naturally have increasing volumes as the drum is hit harder, as youd expect from a "real" drum.
Couple this with the velocity level applied by session drummer and my drum samples sound less authentic.
I get the sum of the recorded output-level of the drum plus the controlled output level of the session drummer kit-piece.
If i adjust all the samples so they have the same level output, therefore letting session drummer control the output level, any ambience recorded is inconsistent.
So, what i am asking, is how can i make session drummer output the same volume level for a set kit piece but playback various samples (defined in my SFZ file) realted to midi velocity?
hope that makes sense and someone can assist.
thanks
