How To Midi Levels when Triggered From E-Kit

[doggett]

Hello,

I am using an Alesis Surge Kit to trigger EZdrummer in Reaper. When I play the e-kit, all the midi note velocities are maxed out and cause the channel to clip. After recording, I have to turn everything down to get them at a more reasonable/realistic volume level. I am wondering if there is anyway to control the velocity of the notes BEFORE playing and saving my some time having to adjust things afterwards. Maybe there is a setting in the Alesis brain I am unaware of or maybe there is something in EZ drummer that can control this setting. I am new to Midi drums with E-kits so any help would be greatly appreciated!! TIA

You may need to adjust your pad threshold and sensitivity settings in the module. See page 8 of the manual:

Surge Drum Module User Guide

This type of adjustment is typical for most e-drum kits. You have to “tune” it for your playing dynamics.
