This might be a question for @MPC-Tutor as he has created quite a few of each, I'm sure.
I'm about to spend some time creating some multi-layered acoustic kits, looking for them to respond realistically as possible. Velocity switching layers is good for capturing timbre differences of various velocities. Cycle/random layers are good for capturing differences of hits at the same or similar velocities.
My question is, which can best account for the strength of the other?
I've not created any cycle kits, but I've tweaked envelopes & such of single layered kits to get different "timbres" at varying velocities. This of course could be applied to cycle kits to get the best of both worlds.
What could I do to randomize similar velocity hits with a velocity layer kit? I finger drum most parts, and never use full/half velocity, so some envelope tweaks would help a bit. But I'm wondering if there are any random variables I could assign that would add slight variations to 2 hits at potentially the same velocity.
I'd appreciate any thoughts or suggestions. Thanks!
