Then don’t use this marvelous box for anything but hihats unless you just want to use noise.
Cymbals aren’t noise !

Actually bought the pack - because of the hihats 
- and installed it today 
This one is particularily interesting, the 5th of OSC1 makes it sound very reminiscent of a 909 hihat …

Can’t believe it is almost 9 years since I created those, time flies, I had hair then

It would be interesting to have an audio reference. Several mallet hits ? Do you want to mimick them ?
I think of it as a rising volume and harmonics (rising filter), with a softer attack…

something like what the drummer is doing here. i tried to link it at the hit i think mostly gets the point across, but generally this kind of technique.
thanks
Isn’t this a better example ?
yes, this is a perfect example.

Here you go with the sound from above. C001 PC CLAP 01.afsnd (653 Bytes)
Also just found another two where I chose a different approach.
At least one of these will be part of a mini-soundpack series I’m planning at the moment.

Both sound quiet usable ! I like the first one a little more, as i prefer shorter claps, i thought about combining the modular approach with the tuned resonance filter, but that would mb require a neighbor track, or 2nd layer, which is unfortunate, because a single layer is much more useful with 4 sequencer lanes. (Allthough i got 2x A4, i want to do kick bass, clap /hat on one of them , the second A4 for melodic stuff.)

The second one is just showing off how far the ratcheting can go. I wouldn’t find it useful musically, too.
The idea behind all examples was basically to resemble classic analog claps from DR-110/TR-606/… which all share a very similar circuit. LFOs and envelopes are doing most of the work easily once you wrap your head around this.
Those claps are amazing, but certainly not cymbals or metallic percussion!

I know. Didn’t start this in the first place. Don’t tell mom.

@sezare56 big big apologies for picking up the derailing of your thread. Here’s some real metallic metal I did a while ago.

Hmm, i am actually not so sure how a real clap looks like, i.e. if its a metal instrument or not. They replicated it with a ride like instrument in the real world.
Maybe each drum instrument desrves its own thread, they are equally important.
