Steel Drums
I wasn't satisfied with the current steel drums I found. So I made my own and will share.
Comments are welcome.

Re: Steel Drums
I had a steel drum sample in Logic. So I sampled it from C2 to C6 in 5 semitone intervals at 100 velocity. Export audio as a 16 bit Wav file.
I created a template in Logic that I can use for any of my soft synths or outboard gear.
Then load them in Nord Sample editor or go from there.

Re: Steel Drums
Hi Mididiot,
Fourths, you say? That sounds pretty darn good, especially for a sound as complex in timbre as a steel drum. We can throw away all the other steel drums now!
And thanks for including a clean bar of your rhythm track at the beginning! That rim has a nice crack to it!
Bless,
Pablo

Re: Steel Drums
After I add the steel drum sound to my NS2, how do I bring it up as a new sound? I can navigate to the sample, but I'm having a hard time figuring out how to give it a "clean" start so that it sounds like the mp3 file. Hope this question makes sense, thanks.

Re: Steel Drums
Initialize the synth section, then load the sample in the oscillator section.

Re: Steel Drums
Thanks, I can do that part, but it seems like certain settings don't initialize and are carried over from the previous sample. Like reverb and other stuff. Is there a way to completely init a patch? I've gone through the manual quite a bit trying to understand this part. Thanks!

Re: Steel Drums
Not that I am aware of, reverb and other effects which are outside the synth section need to be switched off manually.

Re: Steel Drums
My way to do it:
I made a program (in my case D 1:1 - easy to remember for an old guy) and set all things on A and B slot to initial values (synth init but also organ, piano, effect section, reverb etc.) and the synth source switch to a sample (e.g. 100). Then I store it permanently.
When I want to test a new sample from this fabulous platform or from Nord I load the sample to a free place and insert the sample number into the program. Sometimes it makes sense to compare an old sample with a new one (e.g. this nice steel drum) I put the new sample in slot A and the old sample in slot B. I never store that program - so its always the initial config. Very simple but practical.
