  • Percussion L / R Samples: Same of Different?

    There are a number of VSL percussion instruments that have alternative Left / Right key assignments, presumably in order to facilitate keyboard playing.

    Should I assume that Left and Right sample sets are the same samples, or are they different?

    I ask because I am setting up percussion maps in Dorico, and I don't want to needlessly duplicate entries if the samples are the same. I only use the keyboard for note entry, not playing into a DAW.

    Hi!

    It doesn't matter - both keys trigger the same sequence of round robins so that you always get the full array of samples, regardless of playing both, just one, or alternating.

    Best,
