Question about making a custom drum kit with a plugin as well as panning

Post by Soul »

Are there ways to make customs drums kits with a plugin, picking the bass drum snare sound and hi-hat sounds you prefer as well as customzing those sounds further, adjusting tone and attack for example? Also is there a way to customize their independant pan in the mix? Meaning changing the high tom to fade to the right and the low tom to fade to the left in the mix? By fade i mean pan in case that isn't clear. Thanks so much in advance :)

In Mixcraft, there is a built in instrument called OmniSampler. It allows you to assign samples (could be drums) to different boxes or pads that are the equivalent of MIDI notes. You can customize each drum to a certain extent by controlling:
  • Whether it loops
  • Reverse the sample
  • Lo-Fi sound output
  • Pitch (fine and course)
  • Transposition
  • Filter
    Cutoff
    Resonance
  • Envelope
    Attack
    Release
  • Ouput
    Volume
    Pan
There are a couple of other controls as well. All in All you have a pretty wide set of options to tailor your sound. The kits can also be saved as presets for later recall with all the samples intact. The individual drum names can also be saved on the MIDI piano roll.
