Ratio to Tune SD3 Conga Drums down?

[sadicus]

Good Resource for How to Tune SD3 Drums?
In this example using the Latin Kit and trying to add 2 more Conga, and change the tuning lower to match the ratio of the default Conga drums.
What is the ratio between the Hi / Lo Conga? they are both at “0:0.0” but have a different pitch. How to do this creating a new drum pair and tuning them lower?

Hi,

the pitch Property Box tunes in Octaves:Semitones:Cents.
Does this chart help?:
Congas 101 Tuning Guide

I think the Original Mix Congas are tuned: Conga 1-B, Conga 2-C, Conga 3(Tumbadora)-G. If I load the other available Congas, the Tumbadoras all seem to be G but the Conga 1 and 2 positions have slightly lower notes.

I hope this helps,

John

If you don’t know the original tuning of the drum, H0w to add a tuner, find out the pitch the use the Tuning slider?

very helpful! I’m not a drummer so a lot of trial error reading and video tutorials to do some basic things.~ thanks
