Out of my own samples, looking to get a nice natural response like S2 and SSD, any tips? I have Battery, Kontakt. Thanks!

do you have Reason also? there is a nice snare called the Knox wich i like the attack.
I don't own battery and kontakt, but the tip i can give you is to stick with only one decay but to mix different attacks together until you get that tight hit going on.
Since these are samples, i suggest compressing them with volume automation insted since the result will sound better and exactly how you want it to be.
If otherwise you wich to compress a sample, especially the ones that will serve for your attack, i suggest setting the realease of your compressor really slow and the trehshold quite low, so it completely isolates the attack from the decay.

Hey man, thanks for the tips!
What I meant more specifically was I have a snare multisample, various hard and soft hits, and I want to make it a playable instrument like S2 or SSD. So that it responds to MIDI velocities and avoids the machine gun effect etc. I sort of figured it out with Battery but was wondering if anyone had tips on that.

I guess you can achieve it in kontakt by loading your samples in the sampler. Then you can set each of your samples to be triggered at different velocities. Should be fairly easy
