You could try the velocity to attack function of the EXS's amp ADSR. In case you only need it for snares, setup some ADSR offset in all other groups. Very light settings should do a good job. However, a great method to usually achieve such an effect is to alter the sample start as well, following your velocity. Unfortunately the EXS only has that as a global option and you usually don't want cymbal samples to have a later sample start... Btw, talking about the velocity tool - have you ever tried hyperedit in drum mode for velocity editing? One of my favourites for snare rolls and the likes. Regards, Sascha
