Now play
a
roll and
pay attention
to the
decay
of the
individual beats.
You will
be able to
hear clearly that
the
sample always restarts
as
soon
as the stick hits the skin;
only
the last beat
decays fully:
the
instrument loses
in
a
certain respect
its
natural body.
Now
set:
Channel
2
=
INPUT
4,
snare
001,
ROTATE
OFF
Channel
1
and
3
=
INPUT
2,
snare
001,
ROTATE
ON,
DURATION
+20
The same sample
as
before
is
now on pad
4
to
enable
us to
compare
it
with
snare pad
2
to
which channel
1
and
3
have been routed. The REMOTE mode
is
ON.
Now play
a
roll
alternately
on
pad
2
and, by
way
of
comparison,
on pad
4.
You will soon
be
able
to
convince yourself
that with the ROTATE MODE the
roll decays much more natural than without. The more channels used,
the
more natural
the
sound will
be,
e.g. by
including channel
4:
Channel
4:
snare
001,
INPUT
2,
ROTATE
ON,
DURATION
+20
Stereo effects
can
also
be
added through panorama:
PAN
channel
1
=
<-30
channel
3
=
<-0->
channel
4
=
30->
The pitch
of
each of the three snares can now
easily
be
slightly varied:
PITCH
channel
1
=
-1
channel
4
=
+1
Other conceivable effects would
be:
1st beat
=
natural snare from the left
(PAN
<-90)
2nd beat
=
"shot"
from the middle
(PAN<-0->)
3rd beat
=
"Simmons" from the right
(PAN 90->)
^hese possibilities are
of
course
not only
applicable
to the
snare drum
.lone
but are also
in
the same
way suitable
for all
other instruments.
A further example
would
be
a
"swing"
on
a
very long ride cymbal:
all
8
channels with ride cymbal
in the
ROTATE
mode, e.g. on INPUT
8.
Although
the "same"
cymbal
is
continually
rehit, each beat
is
virtually
able
to
decay right
to the end.
