ER-1 and Snares
I've got an ER-1, and I have to say I'm having real trouble creating any snare sounds on it that sound tight, they all sound a bit loose and hissy. I'm presuming this is a limitation of the ER-1, but can anyone tell me different?

sorry but i cant either
i think its due to the fact that the snare is just a "noise" on the ER1 i always had that problem with it, even with max level settings, had to double it with one from my mc 505... bad coz its a nice little box, but ive sold it long time ago |

everything else on the box is great, apart from the lack of any good snare sound. The closest I've got is trying to mix it and the clap together, but it still sounds a bit pokey.
Maybe I should look into getting a cheapo drum machine with a half decent clap. ........................... "If you can't tell what genre the track you're making is you should have your instruments taken away and made to stand in the corner." |

Claps & snares on cheapo drum machines are usually just samples, so just use samples.

Use two voices. One triangle with a fast pitch envelope, to create the impact and body of the snare, and a second one of noise to create the snares on the bottom head of the drum. You're not just trying to make a noise, you're trying to emulate a physical object's sound, so try to approach it by figuring out what the different parts of the object do to make the sound. You could even use a third voice to emulate the drum heads, but that eats up a lot of your drum machine.

I can create the bottom end fine, it's just that the noise is far too hissy on the ER-1

Well...the ER-1 is what it is. If it had a filter on it, or individual outs it would be awesome but...you could pan it to one side and EQ it a bit, and pan the other drums to the other side, and run both inputs on the mixer in mono.

try taking the audio outs into the audio ins,then ring-modulate the results.this can make some good snares, as well as just a horrible racket.this technique is good for techno, because the kick and snare are on top of each other, so ring-modulating your kick with noise makes the snare.keep the levels low or the distotion can get out of hand
