Elektron Musical Instruments

I've been trying to get drums on my Sidstation, but I can't really figure it out. I'm using 
tables for each part (Kick, snare, HH) for the three oscilators but I can't seem to get decent 
attacks. Am i simply overlooking something? Making Sid based music seems a lot harder 
than I thought it would be. 

The Sidstation is my BEST piece of gear in my studio, but the most complicated to use (and 
theirfore underused). Oddly enough my MD is the most Overused piece in my studio...

you're using the noise source right?

Maybe i'm expecting something I can't really get. It is all too soft sounding, no good 
attacks and they are too long at times.

hard cut is a feature that forces the sids envelopes to remain 
closed for a given time after they are triggered. if it is not 
configured correctly it can sound like gism. try turning hard cut 
off in the system menu. do you have a manual handy? its best to read 
this chapter and decide for yourself what sounds best. good luck :)
