Cant find Ruffs in any of the snares.

Hello

I have SD3. I cannot find the ruffs in any of the snares that I have.

See attached image.

Thanks,

No ruffs in the Standard SD3, it seems… Anyway, I can tell you that some SDX expansions include that option. I’m attaching a screen capture of “The Progressive Foundry” default kit snare articulations. “Ruffs” is listed there. It seems not all kits, pieces or expansions have the same articulations. The description of every SDX library includes specific information about such topics. Read those descriptions carefully and try and find an SDX that suits your style with the right articulations.

Hi. I’ve been checking the description of the SDK libraries at Toontrack site and, truth be told, there are no references as to which articulations are included in each library. I thought it was there, but what you can find if you only have Drumsticks available (DS) or you have other choices (brushes, mallets, rods…). There’s no info about the snare articulations.

At least, I can inform you about the SDX expansions I own (I’ve been checking the contents).

A) THE FOUNDRY BUNDLE: (3 different SDX expansions)

• The Progressive Foundry includes ruffs articulation in all of the 17 snares included.
• The Metal Foundry also includes ruffs (14 different snares included)
• The Rock Foundry has ruffs and flams, but they are deactivated. You have to toggle them on, but you’ll drumkit RAM size will increase.  (11 different snares included)

B) The Rock Warehouse SDX includes ruffs (10 different snares)

C) Legacy of Rock SDX does not include ruffs. (Amazing kits there, though – including the one John Bonham used for Led Zep live album “The Song Remains The Same”, including two timpani and a gong!!!)

D) Music City USA SDX includes ruffs (4 different snares) – This one includes the possibility of choosing between drumsticks, brushes, wire brushes and… hands in one of the snare drums at least. You can also have the snares off in one of the snares.

I hope this may help you a bit.
Kind regards.
