How can I program cymbal "washes"?
I'm using a Drummer plugin in Kontakt.
I think the technique is called a wash, where a drummer quickly hits the rim softly with increasing power, so that the waveform is all decay/sustain, and almost no attack. The effect is kind of like a wave crashing.
I tried drawing the velocity on the piano roll, but the attack, the portion of the sample where the stick-head hits the cymbal remains loud in the volume, louder than the rest of the sample at that volume. I tried different cymbals, different volumes, different speeds, and used the slope control "concave" selection.
Anyone successfully done this?
Suggestions, other than hiring a drummer, which I can't afford, welcome.
TIA
EDIT: thanks to commenters who exposed my error. My DAW is Ableton, whatever the most recent update is.
MOAR EDIT: Im using the 60’s Drummer plugin. Because I am a Old.
