Thanks for listening
Matt, the sound you refer to is programmed drum rolls from SD 2, it is going through Boz Digital's +10db compressor it also has a lot of reverb. To achieve it I use a modified kit with its own Drum Map. The DM has two notes for the snare which can then be programmed to play a roll as you would do if you were playing a real roll on a snare drum, i.e. two hits with each stick alternately. Mum-ma Dad-da. Then with some editing of velocities and nudging of timing of the hits to make each one different. The Swell is achieved purely with velocity changes. I use SD 2 for this as the number of available velocity variants/hit is quite high across the range.
The tune is a mixture of playing and editing, the fur and claws get caught in the keys
, so again I play the ideas and then use CbB's powerful MIDI editing tools to tidy up the mess I make with these furry paws. MIDI Keyboard controller replacement costs are high here at The 4077.
