The point is that ambience signal at least double the amount of samples needed. And that's for every layer, every articulation.
Another note:
if your initial dry (direct) sound was mono, then with room mic added it's triple amount of sounds. And if your room is lush and relatively long - add x2 on top of that to the sample size (lengh) here...
So, if your device has for example 200mb of storage for one kit, adding these features could shrink your effective kit size x4 or even more.
On current mid-level modules this will eliminate all the round robins (due to memory-per-kit limitations) and may be even reduce the amount of velocity layers by factor of 2.
That is just math.Last edited by Mr.Boo; 01-29-20, 07:01 AM.

That is true in Mimic or vsts that have individual samples for close, oh and room mics. But if you already have those all baked into a wave file the size of a file just gets larger by the length of room sound compared to a dry one. That was the case with 2Box. And AFAIK that would be the case with ATV and EFNote if they had more wet samples available.
The downside is of course that you cannot adjust the amount of room inside module. With 2Box I mixed sounds inside vst to my liking (headphones or PA) and then converted and imported those to module.

The other day day I was refining my Mimic kit and went in and cut some low end from the reverb and room mics for the PA,added low end to the direct snare mic and more compression. The kit sounded big and clear through the PA. I could not do this with any other module.

I imported an Addictive drums kit into a 2 box and it doesn't perform anything like the Mimic.

So, not to take this thread in a new direction, but when considering the new products there really should be an understanding about "Real Sampled Instruments" ..... That isn't the Only thing you should be looking for ..... my 2 cents anyway.Last edited by JmanWord; 01-29-20, 04:44 PM.I could tell you where to stick that piezo! ;)

There isn't a module on the planet that is going to surpass the Mimic for module only drumming. EF Note and ATV should stick to hardware sales and development. I am still rather dumbfounded that Pearl hasn't developed their own ATV/EF-Note type hardware. Pearl's name, hardware quality, and global distribution would undoubtedly give Roland a run for its money.

Yamaha could also jump into this space, speaking of companies well established in making acoustic shells, but they seem completely disinterested in continuing with e-drums, it seems.

I mean, every single person who buys a Mimic obviously needs drums to plug them into - why doesn’t Pearl want a piece of that pie? They already make top quality shells! This is my biggest reservation with the Mimic, Pearl’s strange ambivalence towards their own product. Yet they’ll go all in on the e/Merge and the ePro before that. Just weird.

Not a fan of the whole "let's make it as 50s looking as possible" vibe. We need e-drums to look like normal drums in the first place, which we are still just getting around to with Roland and ATV. (snip) We also do not need more 10 / 12 inch drums. Roland has been making those for decades.

Haven't heard much about these guys since NAMM. Apparently to be released this summer. Sounds very ATV like - go figure
I like some of the sounds but the snare demo exhibits some pretty bad machine gunning - pretty unforgivable in 2020.
