Mute tail – Ezdrummer 2

[Anders Lindkvist]

I would really like a mute tail option on Ezdrummer 2. The mute function that is – is not suited for my needs. For exampel – hitting a cymbal for a longer time (and holding on to the note will extend the cymbal sound) and mute it togheter with kick. With the mute option right now it’s pretty random.

Is it posible?

Hi,

are you using the Mute Hit articulations? If so adjust the length via velocity.
You can also Mute by hitting the regular articulation and use AfterTouch.

Thanx – I figured the velocity thing out and don’t got AfterTouch.

I just added a request cos it would really simplify my work and flow. So would it be possible to implant that later on?

Thanx

How? I notice that a velocity of 127 results in an immediate choing. Any other value results with the same pre-recorded length just in a different volume. Which is not unexpected for velocity. I would fin it more intuitive if the mute articulations would react to a note off event.

After fiddling with a MIDI editor I found out:

Channel Aftertouch: any value >=65, but only if previous value <65

Polyphone Aftertouch: any value >=65, but only if previous value BEFORE note on <65

Why isn’t this info to be found in the documentation?

I guess it’s because it conforms to the standard behaviour
of e-drum modules.

Btw, if you have a choice you would use polyphone aftertouch
rather than channel pressure.

hi, mi crash has an aftertouch sensor and it’s working good with its own device but superior drummer 3 doesnt recognize it and it doesn’t let me in the aftertouch setting. what can I do? thank you so much

[John]

Hi,

are you using the Superior Drummer 3 standalone or as a plugin?

If you are using it as a plugin, your host may be filtering out the aftertouch messages.

Check in the MIDI Monitor Property box on the drums page if SD3 receives aftertouch.

 

BR,

John
