Ben et al.: I have a question regarding the drum sound samples with a downbeat that does not occur at the start of the sample -- such as the 'shaker egg' that comes with Ben's Premier Kit. While trying it out recently I noticed a small rhythmic problem. To compensate for the fact that the downbeat occurs midway through the sample, I had to start the shaker egg a 16th earlier than I would have expected. Even though this worked, it was a pain in the ass. 8-) Therefore my question is: would it be feasible to add an 'offset' control to the drum kit editor? It could control the time before/after the downbeat that the sample would start. This would enable the user to have full control over where in the specific sample the downbeat is. Just a thought. Anyway, happy holidays to those who have them! mjk
