I wanted to know if you like, with the performance of VSTs, as an example, Addictive Drums, he recognized the dynamic sounds of cash on the same line?
Type, the program understand that on the same line of the box, the box can be on the rim, or rimshot. Because that's the Sibelius default, just change the picture on the box line that he changes the sound too. Does the VSTs, I have to put each box in a row?

Surely it is true. The box will be pictured on top in a stack with rimshot below, as is natural in sequence. Cash will flow, and happiness abounds . . .

Drummerdream1, please don't use an automatic translator... your message is unintelligible

Is that what's going on? I thought at first that this was simply an example of how drummer's wrote/spoke.

As the understanding is certain now, the dynamic sounds of cash on the same line are approved as surely is the default, he recognizes this too by example.

Understand that on the same line of the box, it can be on the rim, or rimshot, which is accepted with certainty for many voices, also for one, or one for all.

Change the picture on the box line, and he changes the sound.

I put each box in a row, unless I want cash and rimshot together, to save time in a row, it is true.

Analysis and Interpretation

I think that "cash" actually is "crash cymbal"; "box" is "note"; "row" is "clef, staff, or a line on a clef or staff"; and "picture" is the specific drum or cymbal; so I think that Drummerdream1 is asking whether you can put a set of different drum and cymbal notes on the same clef or staff, which you can do with the various IK Multimedia virtual drumkits, within certain restrictions, where stacking drum and cymbal notes with matching rhythm and duration is like playing a single strum guitar chord, where the notes of the guitar chord are stacked, but having the drum and cymbals notes played in different rhythm patterns tends to require using multiple voices, which limits it to four voices, although you can have several stacked drum and cymbal notes for each of the four voices . . .

It took me a while to make sense of the language, but I think I got it, which is fabulous . . .

Fabulous!

I think it is actually a "bass drum".
It makes more sense to me, since in italian "cassa" means both "cash" (again, money in itself or a bank office counter) and "bass drum".

Paraphrasing O. Wilde, "Drumming is a good choice at keeping a bunch of guys away from the City for awhile"

Here's my try...

I'd like to know if, when using Addictive Drums, Notion recognizes the different articulations that the drum kit pieces are capable of. For example, is it able to recognize that on the same line of the snare I might have the rimshot? That's how Sibelius defaults, you change the notehead on the line where the snare is and the program changes the sound accordingly. [Does the VSTs, I have to put each box in a row?] this is surreal...

I downloaded the Addictive Drums demo; installed it on the Mac; started NOTION 3; enabled the Addictive Drums VSTi instrument; selected the Addictive Drums VSTi instrument for a staff; and then created a simple multi-voice drumkit part . . .


Addictive Drums ~ Standalone User Interface (Mac)



"Addictive Heavy Metal" (The Surf Whammys) -- MP3 (688KB, 281-kbps [VBR], approximately 20 seconds)

The Addictive Drums VSTi works the same as the IK Multimedia virtual instrument drumkits, and it has some nice sounds . . .

And for reference, the IK Multimedia 15 Year Anniversary Group Buy has reached the 5,000 user participation level, so if you purchase a qualifying product, then you get 2 free software-only products of equal or lower MSRP value, which with a bit of diligent research can map to getting a lot of IK Multimedia virtual instruments, T-RackS 3 Deluxe (mixing and mastering software), and AmpliTube 3 at a huge discount, and the Xpansion Tank 2 Multibox titles are $15 with 2 additional free titles due to the "group buy" going to 3X1, which maps to $5 a title, where you use the XPANSION15 promotional code but only until August 29, 2011 for the Xpansion Tank 2 Multibox super bonus. The "group buy" continues until September 15, 2011 . . .

The rules are vastly complex to the point of being a bit like the National I. Q. Test, but I studied them and mapped everything after about a week of doing elaborate Boolean algebra and propositional calculus, so if anyone needs a bit of help, let me know . . .

Lots of FUN!

P. S. If someone can discover what native language Drummerdream1 understands and can translate it to English and vice-versa, I can explain how to use Addictive Drums with NOTION 3 on the Mac, since it works the same way as the IK Multimedia VSTi instruments, including the standalone user interface with the drumkit pictures (see above) appearing when you click on it in the NOTION 3 Mixer, which actually is pretty cool, really . . .

Really!
