Hi again Christian,

Just to get you in the mood and potentially been bitten by any problem that 
can occure when dealing with drum samples: Here is info about the 
UFIP 13" "Bionic Series" HH (3504 samples!) and anythin els in Natural drum 
Kit:

   http://naturaldrum.com/docs/NDKManual.pdf

The presets in the NDK are for Halion and Kontakt.


Two interesting HH related pages is 36 (mapping chart) 33 (openness, Halion) 
29 (articulation map).



If you look at page 36, then you can see that the left hand HH is at F0 
(MIDI note 17) and the right one at F3 (41) and that the modulation wheel 
will control (0-46) are controlling the openness of the HH. It's more that 
20 degrees of openness for the ordinary stics samples!


One serious problem with NDK is that panning (stereo samples) are chopped 
out in stone, so I extracted the strongest channel of each sample and 
monoized it, making it possible to "record" every drum item in mono as in 
most real life situation. Then I made  one gig for each drum item (one for 
HH, one for snare, one for each tom and so one), but not on every sample. 
NDK consists of many kits and I've been vaiting nearly 3 years (if I 
remember right) for a mature enough implementation of SFZ in LS. I'm glad I 
did not have the time to make SFZs of NDK the last year. :-)

For me, the NDK is so good sounding that it's worth the wait having LS 
handle it.

I think that both GIG and possible SFX have some shortcomings when it comes 
to handlig a drumset like this, but as I mentioned earlier: LS spesific 
opcodes kan deal with it. ....no wonder that many sample libraries comes 
with their own players! :-)
