Each Sampler (as a 128) is in a rack. That same rack contains the TransientShaper after the Sampler (I can really recomend the Shaack Audio one, good sound, low CPU, low price). From the Sampler the volume, filter freq (HP), resonance, shaper amount (I chose the soft algo) and Sample selector are mapped to the rack macros, from the TransientShaper it's Attack, Release and Drive that I have mapped.Timbeaux wrote: @ TomViolenz:
the idea of the transient shaper behind each sampler is a nice idea. how do you set it up as a dry/wet chain? do you use the selector or did you macromaped the volume of each chain?
The Gain from the TS is left at neutral.
The way I use this is while designing the drum kit to work together. So I have made usually a simple 1 bar or 4 bar loop and then I design all 16 elements to work together.
In a live situation i mostly use of these parameters the SampleSelector and the filter freq (if the resonance is not set too high, if it is then that's too dangerous). The TS is purely used in the original sound design.
(All of this works very well with Push if you turn on the little blue arrow of the DrumRack, so that pressing the pad immidiately shows you the corresponding rack macros of the pad.)
If you plan to change samples on the fly in a running live set in a live situation, then there is one essential step: Normalise all samples! (you can be lazy and use Lives Normalise, but I rather do it by ear in addition.)
If you already use a TransientShaper, another use I like is to use one after the whole DrumRack as well!!! Especially the Release changes the energy of the whole drum loop considerably and in a very predictable manner
