Video available showing drum sampler "Stageless Snare Positional Sensing" 
The position sound result is so much more elegant compared to the 3 or 2 stages -> I feel that this is the next necessary step to get to a much more advanced and authentical level of sample engine e-drumming / drum sampler-e-drumming.
I'm using the Roland ∙ 'PD-140DS' digital snare pad
and also a Drum-Tec ∙ Diabolo 13" Hand Hammered Snare.
As the digital pad provides state-of-the-art position triggering I recommend it for this "stageless" FIX.
∙ I show the FIX results using normal [linear (or close to linear)] velocity translation and most notably at fixed velocity (max 127 or little below) in order to show the sound differences without different velocities affecting the sound.
∙ The position translation can be shifted by using a controller curve -> so you can shift the EDGE range towards the center or towards the rim of the pad.
The following drum samplers, presets and snare models are shown :
∙ Superior Drummer 3 (always default SD3 state / preset and mixer state (without any FX processing):
-- 4 x 14" Ludwig ∙ Black Beauty 20s
-- 8 x 14" Ludwig ∙ Coliseum
-- 5 x 14" Slingerland ∙ Radio King 50s ∙ ( ∙∙∙> the SD3 default snare)
∙ EZ Drummer 3 - Bright Room - "Classic" preset :
-- 8 x 14" Masshoff ∙ "Big Chief"
SSD5.5 - "Deluxe 2 Free Dry'n Tight" kit / preset :
-- default "Dry'n Tight" preset Snare state :
