Hi Guys,
I’m having trouble setting up SD with my Roland TD-4.
1.) I setup the cymbal choke on the crash CY-8 by learn command and the making the articulation velocity a square. Seems to work now. But the sensitivity on the choke is low and I have to squeeze very hard to get it to activate.
2.) Bigger Problem. I can’t set up the ride CY-8 to have a the choke. I repeated the same process the learn light goes on I squeeze the cymbal it learns the assignment and the light goes off. But when I try to play it it does not work.
3.) Also I don’t know how to set up the velocity Bell sound on the ride so it will work like the stock Roland TD-4 kit. I am thinking of just buying a three zone trigger cymbal because I can’t figure out how to do the MIDI nodes. Please help.
Warm Regards,
Amol

as far as i know this is a Roland arrangement whereas a velocity switch from ride to bell ride works when you hit harder you get a bell.
Bit of a shame but no such thing on EZ .
Hi,
you shouldn’t need to Learn this.
Always make sure you have the latest software installed and select the ‘E-drums Roland’ MIDI Preset on the Mapping page. This will set up most of the necessary controllers and notes.
If you use Toontrack solo, do not select anything under the ‘Controller’ option.

John , Plz correct me if i am wrong,
does this mean the Roland Midi mapping preset on SD2 will replicate the action from Roland’s velocity switching on a dual zone cymbal effectively
giving a Third zone ??
Hi juicy,
that particular part is not pre-set up in the Roland MIDI Preset, no but about everything else is if you have a Roland module.
The velocity switch can then be loaded via the Mapping page > MIDI Presets > MIDI Nodes > E-drums > Ride Bell Split.
As always, when you’re done with your setting up, save your own MIDI Preset.

John
