Then go in and adjust the parameters of each bar pertaining to the cymbal, ie:attack, peak level, intermitent(if you have it) level setting, effect.
Sometimes using the Reverse Cymbal will work to get that crescendo effect. And increasing the attack time of a Crash Cymbal can help too. Also sequencing one in manually from scratch is an idea but a time consuming one I should think.
I've just discovered that Twiddly Bits has on their Vol 4 Drums & Percussion CD some crescendo cymbals on it and the neat thing is it's all in Midi Data so your able to apply them to any sound you want. Since the Tyros can't load or read .Wav, .Aiff, or Akai samples, the Twiddly Bits CD sounds very intriguing and I will definitely check them out more thoroughly.
Besides it would save a bundle of time of having to make them from scratch.
Best regards,
Mike
