i've pulled this loop out. it's sort of like a memory fading. obviously, it needs a guitar solo.

actually, i'm starting to think the thing with bandstand is that it's
purely sample based so it's stuttering out badly when it's not able to
find a sample that matches the note.
....meaning i'm driving it too hard.
which reduces to that it sucks. i mean, it needs to be able to do at least what my soundcard from 1997 can do.
and don't tell me i ought to have a quadcore with 40 gb of ram to emulate my soundcard from 1997. that's ridiculous.
i think the soundcard is 64 mb of ram. i dunno why they don't just build something that sits in ram.
but the drums sound fine, which is what i'm using it for, so i'll stop complaining.

bandstand sucks. i think it should be enough for the track, but i need to find a better way to render general midi through cubase. remarkably, you want to know what the most popular approach is on the internet? record to wave and import. which defeats the point of cubase.
bandstand seems to just be really, really bad at playing back notes. like, it just doesn't play the notes as they're written. there's one thing it's supposed to do....
and, i know it's the vsti because it works fine as soon as i switch it.
i acknowledge it may be the evaluation copy. regardless, i need to find another solution.
i'm kind of doing this the old fashioned way. people tend to use samplers or wave files in loops nowadays. nobody sits down and scores out drums for general midi, then tries to find a vsti that understands general midi over track 10.
i have two alesis dm5 drum heads that i'd expect should read the data, but i'd rather keep this particular project at a software level if i can
it's just a conceptual thing on keeping it in software.
