Which sounds on which outputs

I came across some conflicting info on which sounds are best assigned to which outputs.

Outputs 1 & 2 are dynamically filtered with ssm2044’s . A short envelope to filter the sound… Good for toms and kick drums.

3 & 4 are filtered with a simple low pass. (no fancy filter)

5 & 6 are filtered less with a simple low pass.
7 & 8 are unfiltered.

:

1-2 - bass/drums
3-4 - snares
5-6 - hi hats/claps/snaps
7-8 - are non-filtered

drumatic says: I wouldn’t recommend using outputs 1 or 2 for kick drums, they sound warped, almost as if they have a resonant filter. Not for hiphop anyway.

3-4-5-6 - kicks
5-6-7 - snares
7 - hi hats

SO – Which sounds are you guys assigning to which outputs?

Make your own opinion and do your own trials and errors.

Mine is a mix of 16 and 12 bit samples without filtering sounds the best. (when I say no filtering I mean filters turned off)

I think this filtering circuit is here to keep the OG spirit but it is not something essential. I see it as an option to experiment with. Time has passed now :wink:
