rapid snare drum?

[NomoreMistakes]

Ok, I have the BR-600. I want to custom make a drum pattern. How do you do a rapid snare pattern that doesn't sound like a machine gun?.....to sound like the snare is being hit with two different hands?

[richiebee]

What you need is to trigger different samples each time you hit - in sampling talk this is often referred to as Round Robin, and you might typically get 4+ samples - so it goes round in circles between the four samples. I doubt hardware units have this capability. You could try altering the velocity of each note... that might trigger different samples.

Yes, as richiebee suggests you need to vary the velocity values of your notes to trigger different samples. Depending on how many velocity layers the BR-600 has for it's snare sound you may need to vary the velocity by as much as 10 or 15 points. That should trigger different samples but then you might have rather up and down sounding dynamics. If so use a compression plugin in your DAW to smooth out the dynamics (I'm assuming that your recording not playing live).
