@John:
does your answer also mean, that if Ihave a steady running Installation of Superior under Yosemte,
I can run an update to Sierra without any issues?
Or do have to run a new Installation with he Product Manager?

Hi Mike,
you can’t answer this question in general. It really depends on your needs.
Before you puchase anything, you should take your time in testing what is comfortable for you and your playing.
Some guys can’t get used to playing rubber pads or meshheads etc.
There is also the possibility to use triggers on your general drumset.
The most triggers on the market are sensible enough to transmit your nuances in playing.
Than it depends on which module you use. If you browse through the communities on the net, you will see that the oppinions are veeeery different on what you need and what’s the best.
I would always invest in a hgher leveld E-Drum, cause you also have the ability to you use the drunbrains sounds as well in combination. This can be very interesting.
But you can also invest in such triggers like Versatrigger, who have their own computerbased Triggersoftware and “wireless!” Triggers for Triggering any VST Software or Host.
Just take a look.

I personally use Rolandstuff. Some older PD-100 and PD-120 that I pimped myself to Stereotriggerpads, and a TD-30 as a module. The Reason for this is that I also need a good sounding module for live Performance in a TOP40 Band.

If I can help with any further informations, just ask.
Yours Ilja

Hi Victor,
sounds for me like a damdaged Midicable!
Espacially because there is more than one issue going on.
I think if you take a look on the recorded Midi-Informations you wil see that the CC Information of the HiHat isn’t recorded right.
Does this happen all the Time at the same position in your Song while you’re playing it back?
Or does it occur in random Positions in your song?

Hi Guys,
I think this is really a Mainstage Problem!
I don’t know what’s wrong but I only had this Problem in Mainstage.
Checked the Roland Midi Preset in TT Solo and in Reaper and it worked fine!
Only Mainstage gives me that problem.
That’s why I changed to Reaper.
@Procman: why do you want use Mainstage? Just to change between different Drumsets on demand?
Or do you also want to do some Soundtweaking??
If you just want to change between different Drumsets, you can manage this also in TT Solo.
If you want to know how, just let me know 😉
Are 16 Sets enough??

Hi Procman,
I describe the the exact way I did it last time, but in first (sorry for that question), did you choose your Audiointerface as the Output in the Preferences in Mainstage?
If you did, okay, you can go to the next step.
Now you create all the channels (at least your 10 you described) you desire in the Mainstagesurface.
Now you can root your SD-Channels (or Busses) to the single Mainstagechannels as wanted.
Remember that there is a offset in the chnannelnumbers, becuase the first channel is the channel your SD is imported to.
So you will have to start with rooting the Kick to channel 2, Snare to 3 and so on.

Than, in your Mainstagesurface you change the output of each single channel from Master to your desired Audiointerfacechannel.
I just managed it this way with my RME Fireface UC. Okay, the channelnames you created in TotalMix don’t appear in the Mainstageoutputlist.
They are called channel Out 1, 2, 3, 4 and so on.
Hope that helps. because for me it worked perfect that way.
If you have any further question don’t hesitate to ask me.
Even over twitter if you want.

Regards Ilja

Hi!
As far as I can remember, you first have to root your channels in SD to your Mainstagechannels, than you have to root your Mainstagechannels to your Audiointerface channels.
Does this answer your question??

Hi Unifaun,
hast Du schon mal die Velocitylevels verglichen?? Sprich vom Modul und dem EZ-Drummer Input?
Habe damals bei meinem Roland TD-20 die selben Erfahrungen mit AD gemacht. Die Sounds klangen richtig plärrig, wohin gegen die Toontracksounds sehr ausgewogen waren. Check das mal . . . .

Hi Unifaun,
did you compare the velocitylevels from your Outgoing Message (Module) to the incoming Level in EZ-Drummer??
Had similar experiences with my Roland TD-20 using AD and Superior-Drummer. AD sounded more agressiv by the same Levels.

Click on the link and then enter your Toontrack-Accountname (E-Mailadress) and your password an your in 😉
That is what I did . . .

Hi,
I agree to juicy that the sound you hear will always be Superior, no matter which module you use.
But I don’t agree to his opinion that you don’t feel any difference between the modules.
I just updated from TD-20 to a TD-30 and the Triggerengine feels much more filigrane. It has more nuances and higher resolution.
I set up both of them the same way and felt the difference, even with my older Rolandpads (PD-105, PD-125).
I haven’t connected my Superior to my TD-30 yet, but I guess that I will be suprised as well.
I was told that the lantency with this newer module is also lower.
I wil check this out in the wintertime when I’m off season and have a lot of time testing all this.

Hi,
I’m not firm on yamaha products. But for example on a roland drumbrain you have the possibility, in the setup for every different drum you choose, to select the midinote that is send. I think you will find a solution for this on the internet or youtube.
Maybe I can find a vid and send the link to it.
By the way, if you just started on vst drumming, youtube will become your best friend, beside the guys here at toontrack 😉
