Does anyone know how to go about emulating hammer ons using mt2 effects? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Comatose

Maybe a stupid question, but what´s a hammer on?

isn't that the sound the 'hammer' of a piano makes when it hits the string? And isn't that emulatable with a noise sample with a short decay? Grtz Ray

I have also tried to reproduce this effect. But havent found any good way to do so. The best example of tracking and hammeron I know of is the old "Sound of da lunatic" (lunatic.mod) But I think the hammerons where sampled and not made with tracker effects. Perhaps one of the Impulse tracker effects would work...

In theory you'd have to alter the pitch very quickly and "reset" the volume envelope to give an attack again.
In MadTracker it can be done the following way:

Code:

C-4 1 -- -- -- ----
--- -- -- -- ----
D#4 1 -- -- -3 FFFF
--- -- -- -- ----

The effect #3 is the glissando effect. It'll slide the pitch to the new note. The FFFF parameter will make it slide very quickly (instantly actually).
By mentioning the instrument number again with the new note, MT will reset the envelope position like if a new note was entered. The sample position won't be reset though (thanks to the glissando effect).

actually something that worked for me very well....

Code:

Track 1 | Track 2
|
C-4 01 80 -- -- ---- | G-4 01 00 -- -- ----
--- -- -- -- ---- | --- -- -- -- ----
--- 00 -- -- ---- | --- 80 -- -- ----
--- -- -- -- ---- | --- -- -- -- ----

Martin I checked out the lunatic mod and found the hammer-ons were indeed sampled, both rhythmically and lead wise. Not much help there really. For what it was though, it sounded pretty damn good and was defintely well thought out. I've been racking my brains on how to emulate hammer-ons even tried using set offset as I.H.P. had suggested to me, but didn't even think of maxing out the glissando to FFFF. Since then I'd been toying with set offset paremeters and getting some decent results but couldn't seem to quite nail what I was going for. Now with knowing to max out the glissando I damn near have it nailed. Also I've been using the two effects in conjunction with one another to alter the tonality of the notes in question, and needless to say my ears are rather pleased with the results. Thank you everyone for the help and suggestions. Comatose P.S. Yannick and I.H.P. you both rock
