patrick maguireOpen-Edge hit is the sound of hitting the edge of the open hi hat with the meaty part of a drumstick.
Open-tip is hiting the open hi hat with the rounded tip.
The tip sound is “tingier” and includes less wide frequencies in general. usually quieter as well
Open- edge is usually louder and more raucous and rockin’. Open edge has a longer duration as well.

patrick maguirepatrick maguireyes, i hear the varied samples. IT sound like you are triggering different midi notes. I WISH i could get the typical snare to sound that random. wow.
As far as finding the correct articulation for a new sample. IT just seems to happen the way i want when i do it. This type of discussion is VERY hard to “articulate” because there are so many overlapping terms and many ways to get there.
The method i prefer is to import a new instrument all together, and then just manually move the midi notes ( or if your using the SD3 grid editor, the move the correct grid trigger) to the new instrument.
I typically use a tom channel that is not being used by the existing drum kit.
What would be great would be to allow us to DUPLICATE the snare with an identical snare set up and then adjust the samples as needed on the “new snare”. then you can have both

patrick maguireyou can also easily change which sample is the selected cross stick (sidestick) sample.

patrick maguireturn off “randomize hits”.
You can make the specific midi note only trigger one specific sample.
most people complain about the samples NOT being varied enough, so your issue is an easy fix
Mac Studio
patrick maguireYes, that would be useful. If there was a arrow like interface that just scrolled to the next available instrument. Perhaps having selectable parameters that determined what the list was.

patrick maguireYou can save the SD3 setting within SD3 to make sure it always opens that specific set up. However, the logic session will always open that same set up regardless of SD3 settings… that is, IF you are using a template that already has a SD3 inside it. If you are selecting a fresh instance of SD3 from within an opened Logic template, then the default state of SD3 will dictate the settings.

Thanked by: Carlos Castillopatrick maguireThats correct.
There are several ways to achieve this. I too use PT to edit and create the midi notes. THe SD3 grid editor is pretty cool but its harder for me to not have those midi notes in the same edit environment as all the other midi instruments.
I usually allow SD3 to be the default stereo output , from within the plug in, until its time to mix. Drumjack52 is using a PT track pre-set to quickly set up a multi bused SD3 structure. These “Track pre sets” in PT are awesome. Such a good way to save time and always get the correct routing and assigments. Im amazed at how often people dont utilize them.
I watch PT engineers tediously repeat the same bussing and routing by hand. ITs crazy. If you spend a couple hours learning how they work, how to set them up and when to implement them… you will be way more efficient and get more time being creative instead of endless mousing and clicking. Ive saved so much time learning the track pre sets in PT. Especially with routing 20 tracks from SD3 into a daw with all the stereo tracks stereo and all the mono tracks getting the correct panning.
I do , however recommend waiting till the mix stage to break out all the channels from SD3. Unless there is some specific creative or sonic need to do so. Mostly because I often will change the drum kit, or other SD3 particulars before the song is completed. When you change the drum kit is SD3 all the channel assignments can change and create mayhem.

Thanked by: Ronald Mesaricpatrick maguirei use Latin Percussion probably more than other sdx or ezx. For the tambos and shakers and Congos…etc.
IT really is the only one.
Please someone make a full featured percussion SDX. ther so many possibilities!

patrick maguireBTW: the Toontrack orchestral precision has some stuff. Buts its extremely thin on useful “modern” grooves .
TH\he orchestral sounds are fantastic, but only about 2% of the pack has anything you can use for regular songs ( rock, jazz.funk…etc)
the sounds are good but the grooves are pathetically weak, and a few different grooves. Whats with that?
Mac Studio
patrick maguireLatin Percussion is really the ONLY good ezx or sdx available for that kinda stuff. Ive been waiting years for someone else to make a collections of tambos and shakers etc…
but for some reason its just never happened

patrick maguirethats a known behavior. The same with “future hit” instruments.
You need to find a way to delete the sounds after the fact. Mute and volume moves will take care of it, automate it.
Mac Studio
patrick maguireNot that Im aware of (if i understand your question)
Sometimes the labels of the grooves get lost and appear as a generic midi file name. I hate that
Mac Studio
patrick maguireI think the sentiment is making a moveable distance parameter would require either a HUGE design change ( record the room mics 100 times for various distances?) … or it would be a “virtual distance” type scenario, which is what all the existing ” change the distance ” faux plug ins offer.
For the most part SD3 is using real samples of actual realty in the framework. I myself dont want to deal with faux recording room sounds. I dont even use the FX that much in SD3 , i love the sampled recordings of the instrument and the rooms. Thats the most useable part of SD3 for me.
I am reminded of how “NI Guitar Rig” decided to offer thousands of “fx” and options that had very little to do with guitars in the traditional sense. IT kinda ruined the Plug in for me
