I'm using a Lemon HHC12 (stand) and have it working quite well but these little nagging...nuances...that I thought probably only affected my frankenstein setup are quite common, and better yet, addressed!
Before I start testing it out, I have an issue that I would like to try to understand better about triggering. Please let me know if I'm just not understanding correctly:
For a snare, in CC mode, does the velocity map directly with the articulation sound in AD2 (or SD3 too I guess) where if you hit with a low velocity you get a different articulation sound than if you hit hard, or is that just a natural thing from the physical snare itself?
I ask this because the "hits" sound too harsh at a normal amount of force, and perfect at a low amount of force. Playing with "normal" or medium force comes out sounding like I'm playing harder than I am so it feels like the velocity doesn't correlate linear with the amount of force used. Does that make sense?
I can solve the issue by squishing the range down so that a hard hit doesn't trigger harder than 50% of the maximum but that limits the dynamic range considerably, necessitating a volume bump to compensate and soft hits to sound louder than they should. Dialing back the sensitivity on the snare works somewhat but completely kills edge/rimshot hits to require too much force. Simply lowering the gain on rimshot articulations doesn't seem to have much effect in the software in CC mode.
I'd conclude that I simply need to buy a better quality snare but it seems like the HHats have the same issue where I cannot raise the volume of closed tip hits to be more realistic in contrast with the sound of open hat hits. This might be better with the new update though.
Is it possible to have separate articulation and triggering profiles for SS/Rimshot from the snare head?
I apologize for the wall of text and my own ability to articulate! Hopefully it makes sense.
