Replacing a Drum or Cymbal in a MULTI:
To replace a drum piece, first ___by pressing the__button in the top right corner of the drum piece. Then go to your SSD library icon and select ____. Navigate to your desired kit piece, and ____ it.
“x” it out
“x”
“INSTRUMENTS”
double click
room:Selecting ___ will leave only the close mic (and overhead mic if it is engaged) on, and there will be no room ambience on that particular drum.
“Room: Off”
room:Selecting___ adds the famous sound of NRG Recording’s studio A room.
“Room: NRG”
___: This room is very three dimensional and has a large sound with medium decay and smooth highs. It is great as is, but can be compressed and eq’d to customize its sound to your mixes.
“Room: NRG”
Selecting___ will add what is known as the “SSD ROOM”.
“Room: SSD”
This room is a large concrete warehouse with very reflective walls that producer a bright, shimmery sound that was enhanced via heavy compression and eqing. The result is an extremely rich and deep sound that is somewhat reminiscent of a Lexicon reverb patch that has come to life. This room is particularly great on cymbals and snares.
“Room: SSD”
This knob will change how much ___ the instrument will have. The higher the knob is set, the more you will hear a difference in volume from high-velocity hits to low-velocity hits.
dynamics
Direct Mic Panning Knob:
Changing this knob allows you to change the placement of an instrument’s direct/mic samples in the stereo field of the entire kit. This includes the ___ if it is engaged.
overhead
If a room is turned on in a particular drum instrument, changing this knob will amplify or attenuate the level of the room mics.
Room Mics Settings
Hi-Hat Instruments:
If you are using a Keyboard Controller than you will want to use the Clamp: ___ setting although the Clamp: ___ setting should also work as well.
Regular
V-Drum
By turning this feature to “___” you’ll notice more natural cymbal swells or builds when using Crash Instruments.
True Swells: On
Humanizer:Advanced AMG (Anti Machine Gun) Setting:
____
This setting is a physically modeled mode, and will apply a unique sample selection algorithm that allows the SSD engine to choose the best samples to use, based on prior used samples, in order to produce the most humanized, and natural feel to the drum or cymbal.
Intelligent -
Humanizer:Advanced AMG (Anti Machine Gun) Setting:
___
This will apply a more traditional sample selection algorithm that allows the SSD engine to choose the most random samples to use, based on velocity and sample articulation, when the instrument is played in a series (like a snare fill). You will never hear the same sample consecutively play. Use this setting if the Intelligent setting isn’t suited to your taste.
Humanized -
Humanizer:Advanced AMG (Anti Machine Gun) Setting:
___
This will have the SSD engine cycle through all of the samples, according to velocity and articualtion, in a preset pattern that eventually repeats. This is the least advanced algorithm and isn’t recommended for natural response.
