I use TD3 + Alesis Trigger IO and it work great with S2, i made my drum with piezzo on acoustic Pearl Traveler Gig Drum and Mesh heads.Trigger is for Toms/Rims, Ride Triple zone, Snare Piezzo 3 and some addons like cowbell etc… TD3 is for Snare/rim, bassdrum , cymbals, and Hihat, i use a midi usb for the TD3 and put in Trigger IO in TD3 or even i can use Trigger IO usb too . Very happy with this config but a bit long to setup, i’ve tested TD20 in some music shops and friends and i found it suxxx like hell

Ok i understood and i know how midi work, you mean my little operations would be better to manipulate two midi notes on the tmc directly not out of it, but i think out of tmc on my pc i can for exemple with bidule software or cubase midi filters modify near realtime midi notes that arrived from my tmc, didn’t found that simple logic operation (1+2=3) for now but… i will search.
Thx again.

PS : If i understood too about S2.0 it will be only a sound module for external TMC’s, nothing to maniplulate midi notes orso, no brain, just sounds.

Yes Roland is very advanced for that compared to Alesis or others, but i think a simple midi software filter could do the job for crosstick, like this :
rim sound + head sound = rimhead sound (1+2=3), no need analysing for more rim or more head to play the third sound, simply play another sound when these two notes (head+rim) are trigged at the same time, so after mapping these 3 notes you can have all basic three of the snare effect. I agree it need a really good xtalk between piezo and need a third sound recorded.

I don’t think the TD-20 works that way. My impression of the way Roland TD series works is that when you hit a rimshot (stick contacts rim and head simultaneously) both sensors send a signal to the brain more or less simultaneously and in response the brain sends a single midi note …..

Thank’s for info about that, what i wanted to knows is if i could do the same as the td20/12 brain with s2.0 software using a simple Alesis trigger IO for exemple.
