I'm a non-drummer, but even when playing the drums on a keyboard, one approach is to record hi-hat, kick and snare at the same time and after recording to separate them to different MIDI tracks. I guess most musicians, even non-drummers are able to play quaver and semiquaver on a hi-hat and to play simple bass drum pedal and snare patterns at the same time, so doing the same thing on a keyboard sometimes can improve the groove, which results also in a more natural sound. But why not recording MIDI data played on e-drums by a really good drummer? Test it and compare such MIDI recordings done with an Atari and a PC. IMO another showstopper is even jitter free latency, a clean MIDI setup, keyboard to drum sample player results in a better groove, than playing a PC sound sampler/drum machine. Even without MIDI jitter the audio latency likely disturb the feeling while playing. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
