  • Iso cymbal samples? Are there any in the current crop of drum VSTi's? (p.2)

They were hard to see.
 
I just checked my Ziljian Digital vault and there are a lot of cool 'A' & 'K' series cymbals in there but none of the so called EFX or ISO types. Glad I'm not a drummer because those things are expensive...
 
I'll give Rail a yell.
 
Thanks,

Apparently, the idea is to decouple the bell from the main body of the cymbal so you get more of the "ting" and less tail.
 
Why you'd want that, I don't know. The main thing I dislike about many of my cymbal samples is that the bell is too sharp and thin, like the difference between hitting it with the tip of the stick versus the side of the stick. I like a deeper, more cowbell-ish tone from the bell, but they're typically not sampled that way. Let me know if you run across something like that.

I programmed a different type of drum groove that I have a problem even finding 1 when I try to count it. (but it works great in the song) Wanted to use the bell to help keep time...
 
Will let you know what I find if I find it. Wouldn't be the first time my results were different than hoped/expected...  I may just play with some different ride cymbals and try using the SPL Transient designer on it to reduce the tail a little.
 
Thanks for the reply's and ideas bit.
