Although RMX is more electronic based, you can absolutely use one shot samples. In fact I do most of my Stylus work using single samples across several tracks.

Even though it has something called "Kit Mode," you should consider it a more loop based or groove based product and not a direct competitor to a GM drum kit or any other kind of single hit drum kit based product.\ On Apr 9, 2011, at 6:23 PM, Kelly Sapergia wrote: > Hi, > > For some time now, I've been interested in getting something better > for drums (I compose music in various genres). I don't mind using the > kits in my Roland keyboard, but think they could be better. I'm also not happy with the kits in Session Drummer 3, as they don't seem to have a lot of punch to them, even if I use the Drum Destroyer setting in the Sonitus Compressor. I also don't care for the percussion sounds because, at least on my system anyway, they sound considerably quieter than the regular drums. I've also been trying to get the Addictive Drums demo to work for the last few days, but can't get Sonar to find the DLL file, even though it's in the VSTPlugins folder, and have given up on it. So now I'm trying to decide if I should go for a CD from Sonivox called "Drum Series 1", which contains their Bluejay and Session Drums products in soundfont format, or if something like EZ Drummer, Superior Drummer, or Stylus RMX might be a better alternative. The problem is that there's no playable demos of these products. (Actually, I did try the DVI version of Sonivox's Bluejay Drums product, but couldn't find a way to access the presets as the plugin window seemed to be hidden or something.) What product would you recommend for doing drum work in terms of ease of use and sound quality? > > Thanks. > > Yours Sincerely, > Kelly John Sapergia > Show Host and Production Director > The Global Voice Internet Radio > www.theglobalvoice.info > > Personal Website: www.ksapergia.net > Business Website: www.kjsproductions.com > > PLEASE READ THIS FOOTER AT LEAST ONCE! > To leave the list, click on the immediately following link: > ddots-l-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe > If this link doesn't work then send a message to: > ddots-l-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > and in the Subject line type > unsubscribe > For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the > immediately following link: > ddots-l-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq or send a message, to > ddots-l-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx and in the Subject line type faq > PLEASE READ THIS FOOTER AT LEAST ONCE!
