Dear masters, I am a bassist and also have to manage my band recording
i want to take the advantage of midi quantize to get all the drum timing right, so i got a medeli 506 drum kit.
I also got the logic pro for my c2d macbook. and thats all i know..(excuse me, i am a bassist – analog dude)
After looking around the forum, i find out something..
1. connecting the e kit with the logic is not as simple, i may need a superior 2.0 , so i got that as well
2. I may need to do some calibration or mapping before i can get the drummer in to play and record his drum part into midi
3. some sound (choke) which can play through the medeli module make people scratch their head…
I sincere beg someone kind enough to show this analog caveman some light how to get the things setup probably. especially the choking thing , it seems no solid answer for this particular brand of drum.
thanks, all answer will be greatly appreciated.

I went to the manufacturer’s site and found their PDF docs. You didn’t say which model you have, so I looked at the info for the 506, which had a MIDI implementation chart.
If the docs are accurate, they reveal that the 506 does not support Aftertouch (key or channel), which means you can rule out the “Aftertouch” method of cymbal chokes within S2.0.
Instead you want to utilize the “Mute” articulation in S2.0’s cymbals. Search for info relating to the Alesis Trigger iO, as this module does not support aftertouch either and there are users who have already given a write up about performing chokes.
