| Even chop up your loops you have and take the hats out of them thats what i do if i like the sound of the hihat in the loop but dont want the rest. |

| Its cool. He may have meant all percussion, but he spoke of hi hats, so that was what I was talkin about, no biggie:D |

If you have Xfer it's impossible to run out. Just take some of those samples and add FX as someone already said.
If you're hell bent on synthesizing them then give Ultrabeat a try. It's fairly complicated but has a really good manual. What I do is load a blank Ultrabeat and add the Xfer samples into the sample oscillator depending on what I'm after. You can then add other oscillators, noise and FX to the sample and generally tweak the out of it. |

| ultrabeat really sounds cool might have to look into that myself. |

i didn't know it had a synthesizer that can make hats, i'll give it a try, but i doubt its gonna be any different than programing with my virus ti

Have you used the Vengeance, Tom Penton, or Xfer? I don't understand how you can run out. If I can't find what I'm looking for, then I will usually pick one or some that are close and then go to town on processing them, crushing, flanging, phasing, whatever. With the use of effects plugins, just about anything is achievable. If worse comes to worse, start from scratch and use white noise or sinus waveform on a subtractive synth, coupled with pitch mod and filter envelopes, you should be able to make them if your worth your salt. <--- i think thats how the saying goes.:nervous: |
yeah i tried all of them, if i don't find the source on how those samples were made than i would take the same route and do processing, thanks tho

i tried ultrabeat to death, all presets that have hi hats are waveforms not synthesized percussion. So i couldn't find the steps needed to make my own. But i will read the manual and see wut i can find.

I will also try that, i didn't know u can add samples to the oscillator and do some tweaking. |

| The bottom Oscillator lets you load samples into it after you click the tab that says sample. |

yeah this is cool, the pitch shifter is awsome and the effects |

thanks this gives me some relief, so are all hats generated from white noise? |

Do you have any drummer friends? If so, you could always record live samples. I've done this several times and have a small, but decent library of crashes and hi-hat one shots. One of these days, I plan on recording some more hi-hat patterns/loops. I also bought a bunch of hand percussion instruments (e.g., shakers, maracas, claves, etc.) that I occasionally sample, loop, and layer into some of my songs.
The downside is that it can be pretty time-consuming to record and process the samples, and it can be expensive if you don't already have recording gear, but it's just another option to consider. |

nope no friends that are drummers, one day i would like to use real hats and drums hehe
Edit: first post has been updated, if u ever get bored of your sample packs go to ultrabeat  |
