I "revo cleaned" a Genos preset style called Jive1 and remapped the remaing notes if neccessary and saved it to Style#1
Hi Peter --
Thanks for all of your work!
I'm looking at the "Mr. Soul" style. (Soul and R&B always get me motivated.
) Mr. Soul was one of the two style examples that I recorded last week when I tested a Genos. My web blob
http://sandsoftwaresound.net/ has a link to the MP3.
In the Mr. Soul style, the entire high hat part uses the "-1" notes in the Revo RockDrumKit. If we zap the HH sounds, then it's a serious loss. No high hats.
Here is my preliminary plan:
PopPercKit: Note remap
PopPecKit --> PopLatinKit
-------------------------- --------------------
G2 Tambourine 2 Shake PP --> G#3 Tambourine
G#2 Tambourine 2 Hit PP --> A3 Tambourine Open
D#3 Claps Hi PP --> F#-1 Hand Clap
RockDrumKit: Note remap
RockDrumKit --> RealDrumKit
-------------------------- --------------------
A2 Crash Cymbal RD 2 A2 Crash Cymbal Real 2
G2 Splash Cymbal RD G2 Splash Cymbal Real
D#2 Ride Cymbal Tip RD D#2 Ride Cymbal Real 1
C#2 Crash Cymbal RD 1 C#2 Crash Cymbal Real 1
B1 Tom RD 4 B1 Tom Real 4
G1 Tom RD 2 G1 Tom Real 2
D#1 Clap Power D#1 Clap Power
D1 Snare 1 RD D1 Snare Real 1
C#1 Snare 1 Side-Stick RD C#1 Stick Real
B0 Kick 2 RD B0 Kick Real 1
A-1 Hi-Hat Pedal Closed RD
F#-1 Hi-Hat Edge 50 RD
E-1 Hi-Hat Edge 10 RD
D#-1 Hi-Hat Tip 10 RD
D-1 Hi-Hat Edge 00 RD
C#-1 Hi-Hat Tip 00 RD
I need to listen to the MP3 to figure out what RealDrum HH sounds are the closest fit. I haven't been able to guess the meaning of the numbers in note names like "Hi-Hat Edge 25 RD". What the heck is the "25"?
There are some other naming curiosities like that in the other drum kits. I agree with Jørgen that the long-term solution is a drum remapper tool. First, though, we need to work out the actual note-to-note remappings. Yeeeeeeeeeeee!
Yamaha have really outdone themselves with Mega Voice and DSP to spiff up the styles, too. I have some possible remappings for the Mega Voices:
Possible S950 Mega Voice substitutions:
50sVintagePick --> Mega CleanGuitar, SolidGuitar1, SolidGuitar2, SingleCoil
KinoLargeComp --> Mega SmallStrings, LargeStrings
PopHorns1 --> Mega Brass
VintageRound --> Mega VintageRound [no substitution required]
I don't have clue-one about how to deal with the DSP insert effects. Lots of DSP-related SysEx everywhere in this style including on-the-fly parameter changes in the MAIN sections.
I won't have time to listen to the MP3 and play matchy-matchy until later today.
Fun, fun, fun -- pj
