Interesting !
The first sample I took was a pretty powerful acoustic tom. I went directly out from the Roland module into the SDX. I compared the two and it wasn't an exact clone, but damn close. I figured I'd have to mess around with the sample rates & such. As I mentioned, I'm just skimming the surface here so far.
So you think it is imperative that I use a preamp as you suggest? This is valuable information to me and I really appreciate it !!
Also, If I could sample some SDSV toms like Denny Carmassi's V's on Heart's Passionworks album, I'd be ecstatic !!!

http://www.myspace.com/roland_brennerhttp://home.rr.com/zengine Hi Roland ,
any sampler , even best ones like Fairlights need to get a very good
signal in !
"Garbage in / garbage out" !
I highly recommend to use a good preamp to do so ...
a Universal Audio Solo 610 (valve version) , or even solo 110
(transistor version) for example ...
I just tryed it ! you won't recognize the sounds . it gives them
more air & a so nice low end.
It should be another quality level in the SDX ;- )
If you haven't access to that sort of preamp it's really worthwhile
renting one for 1 or 2 days ...
Of course if you have access to an SSL or a Neve, it might be better,
otherwise the Universal Audio will do a really great job.
After the preamp , you can compress of course before to go to the SDX
input...even "expand" it ...
or use your plugins to sculpt your sound or optimize it...
But the 1st part (& unavailable one) is the preamp !
Hope that helps
Let me know ;- )
Patrice.
PS by the way it's working very good with analog SDSV or 7 (& so on)...
