In some cases the samples are looped and it's only a brief hiccup because I can trigger it the next time around, usually in a few seconds. Most of my samples parts seem to be maybe 15 to 20 seconds so it's only a minor issue. There is a learning curve but it's not rocket surgery.ĭo I ever miss a trigger.yeah, it happens.

75% of classic rock guitar band songs only use 2 guitars during the instrumental lead guitar part so the guitar player can simply record his rhythm part and have the drummer hit a pad to start/stop it.Ī couple of samples can be triggered via foot switch so a guitarist could trigger them but in most music, the drummer has plenty of time on his hands and is the perfect candidate for triggering the samples. Tons of music has small but significant keyboard/horn/synth parts so you can play 4, 5 or 6 piece music with three strong players. I am surprised that more bands aren't using them. I took a gamble on the SPD-SX and have been really impressed. I'm pretty sure Joe is wanting to do exactly what I do with my bands and I'd be happy to share my experiences with him. There are machines that allow you to select the next sample to be played slightly ahead of time, and it continues playing the current sample and only triggers the next selected sample right on the beat.So it is somehow easier to trigger something slightly ahead of time than it would be to trigger them on time?ĩ9% of my samples are triggered at the top of the measure and, If a drummer cant hit a pad at the top of the measure, he should be playing guitar
