How does the patch "01 JD_Ride_Brushes_4-064" work? It says it's tempo-synced but if I hold down the key only 1 drum hit plays. If I play quarter notes with my project tempo set at 64 bpm then I see multiple voices being played in the advanced tab of Vienna Instruments. How can I play the quarter note pulses at 64 bpm using a single sample so it sounds natural?

Hi Ben,
Generally, it is not recommended to use a single sample if it is supposed to sound natural...
The Jazz Drums were in fact designed to be loaded into Vienna Ensemble with the provided Jazz Drums projects from https://www.vsl.co.at/en/MyVSL/MyDownloads/Tutorials_Templates as described in the Jazz Drums manual, which can be found at https://www.vsl.info/en/instruments/vienna-instruments/collections#percussion
The patches in the JD_Cymbals_Brushes Matrix are actually not tempo-synched, but rather controlled by the speed you are playing. The idea behind that is that a cymbal sounds differently if it has already been hit before, depending on how long ago the last hit was. The Vienna Instruments player analyses when the last hit has occurred (i.e. the speed at which you are playing) and plays back the appropriate patch accordingly.
I hope that helps.
Best, Marnix

Oh okay that's disappointing, it's advertised as "4ths at 64/100 BPM, 8ths at 80/128/180 BPM"
