Delay

The library is globally delayed at 80 ms (to the close mic) to further the cohesion and liveliness. The library is optimized for this delay amount.. Set your MIDI track to this number, quantize, and you will be on-time. If you’d like, the TIGHTEN button will change everything from 80 ms to 20 ms. The library isn’t optimized for being played like this, and while it works for MIDI input, it is suggested to use the full 80 ms delay when doing playback.

Library Limitations

• The library has a delayed response of 80 ms (based on the close mic). Set your track delay to -80 ms. The library is optimized for this delay. The delay aids with cohesion and subtle “in-between” elements which are a byproduct of performance-sourced repetition sampling. The library is playable live, but may require some getting used to if you’re not accustomed to playing percussion with a delay. The trade-off is entirely worth it. However, there is also a “tighten” knob which brings the delay to 20 ms (based on the close mic). The library isn’t meant to be used like this, nor was it built to sound like this – but the option is available to you.
• Playable roll RR’s are very limited: 4 RR (they were originally re-purposed from another part of the library and weren’t intended to be used in this fashion). That said, you can still get away with using them (the fairly large number of dynamics helps), but at the end of the day, it is only 4 RR, which doesn’t look good on paper. Listen to the demos, watch the patch playthrough and playable rolls video, and judge for yourself whether or not it works for you.
• There is some level of ambience-bleed / “whoosh” / pre-note on the attacks if they’re played in standalone isolation or you’re using mostly the decca mics. This is a byproduct of pulling samples from repetition performances in an ambient room and is somewhat alleviated by a script-driven modulation of the attack curve.
• There is not always a huge difference between the different types of releases on the x-fade rolls, partly because it’s just one player so there isn’t ensemble blur in the performance.
• The x-fade rolls were recorded more as a bonus supplement to the library and aren’t quite as finessed.
• Some of the tail-ends of the decays are cut-off a bit early (since there was another hit).
• One of the shaker x-fade rolls is slower.
• The timpani are not tuned traditionally. They are tuned down to a low, essentially non-tonal pitch – to sound a bit like a gran cassa. There aren’t multiple pitches per timpani.
