Hey dudes, You can also make natural sounding cymbal wash/crescendo effects by copying and pasting about 12 to 16 cymbals one on top of the other but leaving the first note of the cymbal exposed. and then progressively change the velocity of each note so that it feels like its being properly articulated. Example first note the velocity of the cymbal is 15 then the next note is 23 then 29 so on and so on until the full 127 velocity which I believe is the maximum velocity in S Drummer 2.0. Sometimes I double the two notes so its 15 15 then 23 23 then 29 29 etc. Here is a picture if there is any confusion. On its own it sounds alright within a mix you can hardly tell the difference.
hi there, i had the same question and managed to do it using the envelope filter… just pick a cymbal and put the envelope like half way, just have to figure out the ammount of times you’re gonna hit the cymbal obviously, and that’s it brudda ! u got a crescendo !
