Hey guys, so this may be a little off topic, I’m not sure exactly where I should ask this questions.
First off I have an older computer with a AMD xp 2600 (I think), 2 gb of ram (yeah I need to upgrade). I’m using Sonar 8 with an older FirePod and have a Roland TD-4S (amongst other things). I’ve played with the sounds on the brain of the TD-4S but they really don’t give the control I would like, especially when recording drums.
I’m looking to get either DFH or SD 2 (not sure if I want to spend the extra cash for SD2) and use the drum set as a midi controller for DFH or SD2. (correct me if I’m wrong but I’m fairly certain this can be done)
My question is this. How should I go about connecting the Roland kit. I know it only has Midi out but that should be all i need right? Should I run Midi to my FirePod and use that to run the signal into Sonar 8 or should I use a Midi to USB cable and go straight into the computer?
Any help, pointers, suggestions, flames, or whatever would be much appreciated.
