More than 8 Velocity Layers

[berk]

Hi Everyone,

I've recently acquired 2 ddrum3s, which makes me very happy!
I was wondering if anybody has a solution for building multisounds with more than 8 velocity layers?

I have a bit of a hardware hack idea, although its not a very elegant solution:
Essentially you could build a relay device which alternates the incoming pad/trigger signal between 2 input channels. Using a microcontroller such as an arduino, you could monitor the midi output of the ddrum3 and use this toggle the relay state after each note-on message.
While this would work, I have a feeling you would actually get more of a machine gun effect than if you were to just use 8 layers on a single channel, because you would miss out on the DVA and other hidden features.

Does it have to specifically be velocity layers, not position? You can make multisamples w 16 layers. Otherwise there is a thread on here by yours truly wich explains how to have 30 samples. Else try link channel "expand". Will write more later, going to work...

Well I guess it doesn't necessarily need to be velocity layers, however I am primarily using acoustic triggers so multiple positions are not available to trigger.

You could use either Aphex Impuls which has the roll feature, toggles between up to 4 midinotes, or the Midi Solutions Event Processor, which one can program in a number of ways... Both methods would add latency though, approx. 1ms of it.
