hello allan,
many thanks for the tip! i didn't know that i have to
trigger my concussor modules (btw, i have all of the
drum modules except the handclap module, i really like
them and they sound great) with 1ms trigger pulse in
order to sound like the roland originals. it seems
that i will have to use all my 3 a162's then.
bakis.
