Cymbals / Cymbal Pairs
This folder of instruments contains crash cymbal pairs ranging in size from 22 inches
down to 12 inches.
12in - 22in Crash Combo
Crash cymbal pairs ranging in size from 22 inches down to 12 inches mapped across
white keys starting on note C1. Each crash cymbal pair has 3 lengths mapped from lon-
gest to shortest (long, short, even shorter), and each plays in a round robin (x3) cycle.
CC 11 (Expression) and Note Velocity control overall loudness, and Note Velocity controls
dynamics (7 levels). For any dramatic moment that needs extra energy, this instrument
provides a range of easy options to drop in and punch it up.

a round robin (x3) cycle. They have a sturdy metallic impact and ring, with a slight pitch
lift for added character. CC 11 (Expression) and Note Velocity control overall loudness,
and Note Velocity also controls dynamics (7 levels).

tween open or choked hits. CC 11 (Expression) and Note Velocity control overall loudness,
and Note Velocity also controls dynamics (7 levels).
