I wonder if they even know that Roland is the e-drum standard. If one of the worlds biggest drumsoftware company don’t know if the worlds biggest e-drum company is compatible, who does know then. I already wrote in the problem description that I’ve tried all recommendations from V-drums and Toontrack forums without success. Maybe someone reading this knows if VH-12 is working better than VH-11 with S2 and Cubase?
Problem Description:
Intel Quad and 4Gb ram – Hello! I’ve have a Roland TD-20. I can’t get my VH-11 to trigger Superior 2 (In Cubase 5) properly. It’s either fully open or fully closed. Now my patience have ran out and I’m selling my VH-11 and wonder which HH that will work best together with S2? Thinking of a VH-12, but want to be shure that there will be a major improvement before buying a new HH. I’ve tried all recommendations for VH-11 from V-drums and Toontrack forums. It’s really mission impossible!
Resolution:
5/301/0 Hi Thomas, Unfortunately, we can’t really assure that all hardware will work accordingly with Toontrack software. Please understand that some hardware is just not made to interface directly with software, being that most (if not all) electronic drum hardware is made to interface with a drum brain, and not a computer. That said, I can’t be sure that your issue is entirely related to the VH11. You really should take a look at the MIDI settings for your drum brain before you sell of a lot of gear. The MIDI notes for half open/closed/etc. could be sending from the drum brain incorrectly, and therefore not being understood by Superior. Please take a look at your TD20’s manual and spend some time programming with it, you might find that you can fix your issue that way. Thanks. /brian
Don’t sell your VH-11!
There is no reason that it shouldn’t work properly…Is your your TD-20 set to factory defaults?….If it is then make sure you have downloaded the lastest version of S2 from your user area, go to the ‘mapping’ tab, just above the virtual keyboard at the bottom you’ll find the MIDI preset dropdown. Go to MIDI> note mapping> and select the ‘edrum’ preset. Next go to the ‘pedal correction presets and choose the best one that fits your setup, most likely ‘More Closed Curve 2’
If this does not work then post up and we’ll take it from there…..there are lots of things to try, it’s just a case of finding which is the thing that isn’t set properly.

Thanx for a really quick reply!
I’m afraid I already sold my VH-11 just a couple of hour ago, after trying the e-drum midimapping and the different curves, going through the options in the intrument section, adjusting hihat, hihatstand, tried different adjustments in the TD-20… think you get my point , had this problem for to long now.
This is one of many threads I’ve followed trying to solve the problem:

It seems like more people than me experience problems with the VH-11.
I just want a fully functional system without problems.
My question from the beginning was if VH-12 will work better? Or Hart HH?
Still want to know…
Peace!
The problem mentioned at the v-drum forum is completely different and relatively minor compared to the issues you are describing….Until you find out what is causing your particular problem I doubt whether a vh-12 or hart hihat is going to improve things.
I used a VH-11 for a long time and it functioned fine….I could get closed open and all the inbetween levels of openness no problem….Personally I prefer my VH-12 to the VH-11 but that is mostly down to feel.
It’s a pity you sold the VH-11 before you posted – If you had some MIDI that you had recorded with it, it would have been relatively simple to solve the problem.

Thanx anyway, first class support here.
Just fyi I had 4 pages of different solutions i collected from forums and I’ve tried them all.
Maybe it’s time to upgrade anyway, and if the problems endure I know where to go…
