I think i'm going to go with the tiptop BD909. It seems quite flexible compared to the other tiptop drum modules. I'm using the Vermona Kick Lancet at the moment but i've got enough things on my desk. The mod.brane could be interesting for me though. I've got the BD909, I like it. It's pretty much ...

If you're sequencing from a computer, don't even look at the Midi to CV stuff. Expert Sleepers modules are far superior in just about every way. The ES-3 is fuckin rock solid, plus you can send audio through it as an added bonus. Seriously, don't even look at that other sh!t. FM'ing two regular old ...

I don't know how anyone can use 5" monitors for dance music. I have 8" monitors and sometimes I wish I had a sub.

I love deep house. I wish I had more patience (and skill) to work with a lot of samples like some of these guys do.

Thanks mate maybe I'll give the ENV in a sampler another shot, and Keep that in mind. Do you know how those Roland drum machines work in terms of how they get there closed and open hats, do you use an ENV on an open to make a closed or are there many of the same pitch samples with different lengths...

I contributed to their first round of funding. Can't wait for this to come out.

Go to the music store with a handheld recorder and record a open and closed hi-hat? I've done this. They will need eq'd quite a bit though. Or use a drum synth of your choosing and create a hi-hat and duplicate that hat and adjust the envelopes so one is open and one is closed. Also, something to me...

^^^^ Are you saying you split one sound with an eq? Or 3 bandpass filters? Or do you send each note to a different channel based on what note is being played? I'm curious how that would sound. To the OP's initial question. The sub bass should be under everything. The only time I use a sine based sub...
