i', programming some rhythms in cubase with a kit from a proteus 2000. this problem always arises when i'm using single hits though.
the groove, although nice, doesn't seem 'real'. it actually sounds programmed and when i'm trying to make breaks out of single hits i simply cannot emulate the raw feel.
the sounds themselves are not breakbeat by nature but the rhythm is. any suggestions???

Also a side note: u r using a rom based kit so each hit sounds the same, try out slight velocity programming and assign velocity to different modulations .. unfortunately the protus doesn’t allow u to edit individual drum sounds in a kit so u have to have a multi w the same kit on a few channels to do so,, if u r very serious about your beats u might want to invest in something like a sp12 or a emax they will add “aliveness” to your sound.. fxmple I can listen to a simple beat on a 808 for hours always hearing new melodies cos the beat is constantly changing, not that u notice it per beat. it’s more of a feel…

or even use cubase vst5 on external midi equipment, cos the feel is also constantly changing, it aint supposed to but there ya go.
on a sampler map a freeform lfo to slightly modify stuff.
