==> My vote is to find what you want on a .wav file and just insert it into a track whenever you need it. If you have the ability to grab audio and make Wave files, then get some sound effects tapes & CD's from the public library. Could be a fun project to build your own library of sounds. --NR ----- Original Message ----- From: James Hebert <JHebert@xxxxxxxxx> To: <korgypark@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, January 21, 2002 7:01 AM Subject: [korgypark] Seeking some cymbal/gong sounds for the X5D > I'm looking for two cymbal-based sounds that I do not find among the > korgypark files. > > The first is a gong (kind of like the "old-movie" gong where you see a man > swing a large mallet in slow motion... a large, reverberant kind of gong). > If none exists, does anyone have any tips for trying to create one, or would > this be outside of the synth's capability? > > The second is a sound I can only describe partially, because I don't know > the musical term for it: I've seen drummers strike soft mallets against a > cymbal quickly, creating a short of shimmering metallic sound.
