As there's been a lot of interest in the cymbal EQ's at 14.35 onwards, I thought I'd share the settings for that kit.

Go to the EQ pages -

Menu,
Kit Edit,
Inst Effect
EQ

And the setting are;

Left crash – 16 Crash Vintage 1

Freq 500Hz 1.4khz 3.2khz 2.0 Mid width
Value -6 5 2

Right crash – 16 Crash Vintage 2

Freq 500Hz 3.2khz 1.0khz 4.1 Mid width
Value -6 6 4

Ride – 21 Rd Jazz

Freq 500Hz 3.2khz 1.0khz 4.1 Mid width
Value -6 6 6

Hats – 14 Vintage

Freq 2kHz 3.6khz 2.3khz 2.3 Mid width
Value -8 4 1

Pitch to taste.
