TD8 and dfh

[fignewton]

Hello,
First time poster!!
I have recently added EzDrummer to my TD8 and it is working Great.
I am awaiting my rebate to purchase Drums From Hell which brings me to this question.
Since dfh has many more cymbals to sample, and my TD8 doesnt have that many inputs, can i assign 2 samples to my dual zone pads?  Use a spliter on my dual zone inputs?  Look into a Roland TM6?

Thanks
Fig

yes, there is nothing to stop you assigning bow and edge triggers to different cymbals. You will however have to tweak the note value send by your module to match the cymbal you want to trigger.

It’s totally possible to have a tom sample on the tom head, and a splash or china on the rim.  It’s EZ 😉
 
I believe my latest video has a little section about changing midi note numbers.  NOTE: you don’t need a splitter of any sort for that!

I got DFH loaded last night.  So these posts came just in time.
I finally got all my cymbal sounds but they were in weird places.
I will check out the videos and errr maybe i will read the Manual?   “p

It’s just a matter of assigning your cymbals’ MIDI notes to where you’d like them… if you can find the right setting on the TD for changing MIDI notes, then you’ll be fine.

Just to make it easy for people are searching the forum to change the MIDI note number on a TD8.
Select Pad, Advanced, MIDI, and change the value.  FWIW you can also preview!
Taa Daah!!
