Details

The instrument includes five distinct articulations played with drumsticks, allowing for expressive performance. It features three microphone positions—close, mid, and far—enabling you to blend perspectives for desired tonal characteristics. The mod-wheel control allows for dynamic manipulation of cymbal rolls, providing a fluid performance that adapts to your track's tempo without being time-fixed.

With four round-robin samples per articulation, the library ensures a natural sound with varied dynamics. The built-in mixer facilitates individual control over each mic position, including options for panning, volume, and phase shift. Additional settings allow for adjustments to velocity curves and dynamic range, enhancing playability and responsiveness. This makes Suspended Cymbals a valuable tool for creating intricate orchestral build-ups and nuanced percussion tracks.
