I have a question I could put to Tod directly, but I thought other people might benefit from the answer.
Lately when I'm loading the SFZ Track Template Individual Kit, the volume controls are not showing in Sforzando. I'm getting a huge amount of "boing" out of the toms and I want to correct it at the source. I like a drier, more leathery tom sound these days.
I've attached a couple images. The first is what I should see, the second what I AM seeing. Help?

Thanks and biggest respects for sharing this, to all who put their sweat and energy into it, did not test anything, but alone the idea is fantastic, so these samples could be used as test samples for experiments with filther! And anyone could try it, as everything is accessible by anyone. Samples + rs5000 + filther.

Hi kirk, sorry my friend, I didn't see this till now.
It looks like something might have happened to one or more of the files that go with Sforzando.
Probably the best way to deal with it is to completely reinstall the Sforzando SMDrums.
IF you're still having problems I'll contact my friend who programmed the Sforzando version.
Yeah, I'm sorry there's no ahdsr envelope control in Sforzando like with Kontakt, or maybe there is, but it wasn't programmed in.
There is an envelope control in Sforzando. I'm using it. But it's definitely abrupt. Kontakt is no doubt the better sampler. I simply can't justify dropping that much $ on a sampler.

On another note, which may also be of interest to users of this instrument, how would I perform/draw/paint a realistic acoustic snare roll? I've managed it on the toms, but it's still pretty robotic. Lots of clicks and drags. There has to be an easier way. (I started a thread on this, but it's probably too confusing to follow lol!)
I've taken to using my Arturia Minilab, which has a strips of percussion pads that can "sound" a roll, but recording them is another matter. You kinda have to tap the pad then slide off it to "bump-fire" the trigger. It doesn't always work. I can hit hard snare shots, tom fills, etc. But rolls elude me.
Also, should I be setting the Minilab to All Channels or just Channel 10? I saw a video recommending channel 10 for drums. No idea why. If it's a cleaner signal out channel 10, I'm happy to switch over. I also had no idea there was a drums only diamond or triangle option in the midi editor. I'm a guitar player. Mic the amp and wail is what we do.

Really and truly creating a snare roll is not that difficult if you have snare drum that has the velocity layers to do it. Now that depends on what you mean by snare roll. You'll need to explain a little further Kirk, have you got something special in mind. The following link is one of the SMDrums demos and it has a couple of of what I call snare rolls. Are you talking about something different.

Channel 10 is the midi standard for drums, and it has no cleaner sound then any other channel. As long as the drums are responding to the channel you're using it's all good.
I've just discovered this kit and think its amazing! I absolutely love the sound of the grooves that they supplied as examples (for the reaper download at least). Are there more grooves like this made specifically for SM Drums? Most others sound mechanical in comparison

Where did you download the kit from dukati?
I do have these videos where I replaced the original drums with SMDrums. It was a couple of drum video advertisements another drum developer had put out. I DLed the video and replaced their drums with SMDrums.
Obviously I cannot, and have not used these videos for advertising SMDrums, but you just wanted to hear more media that has SMDrums, so I thought it would be okay.
Linear Mode
