Is a closed roll the same as a snare ruff?

Hi!

Is a closed roll (Death & Darkness) the same as a Metal Foundry snare ruff? When stacking snares, I want to add the corresponding articulations to all stacks. Center, rimshot, sidestick, flam etc. are shared by Death’s snares and Metal Foundry’s…Metal Foundry does not have a “closed roll”, but a “ruff”. Is this the same or something different?

Load up a couple of instances and compare the two articulations. If they match, try them together.

Hi, it’s essentially the same. Earlier libraries tended to refer to the articulation as a ruff, but technically a ruff should be a number of grace notes before an accented note.
