How do swell?

[azistenostora]

This could be a dumb question so apologies in advance, but I never figured out how to do cymbal swells with SD2. Any tips appreciated.

easy with real cymbal and mallets, really gently.

That's kind of hard to achieve in Superior Drummer

I usually make a X-instrument with a cymbal, I use it with mallets and then I program hits rising in velocity.

...why not take a cymbal hit, run in reverse??

 

[corellia_guitar]

yeah you can always just trigger a single cymbal, export it as a wav, import it back into the project and reverse it

 

[JeffTD]

Yup... reverse cymbal + kick hit always works for me.

They are a bastard and never sound quite as good as the real thing. I also think it sucks that non of the kits have any cymbals with stick tip hits. But all well, they already take well over 2 gigs of RAM to load if they are big enough.
