Your e-kit rain will give out MIDI for hits that may not be compatible with the default SD2 mapping.

Have you tried setting the MIDI mapping config to “E-Drum” in the Mapping page? Sometimes this works off the bat.

Sounds like you may be assigning one “articulation” of a drum to a new instrument with “learn”, but when playing are triggering more than one. Hi-hat takes some setting up too, if you do it manually. Try the E-Drum setting first, before you start trying to manually coalesce MIDI mapping tables.

Can you set MIDI changes on your Alesis drum module?

Glad it’s not just me thinking that way.

What Roland kits/ modules have you got Matt? Your profile says TD-4 and TD-12, where does the TD-9 fit in?

Thanks Juicy, I follow now.

Do you leave your TD-9 at factory MIDI settings and use SD2 with the “e-drum” MIDI preset or do you tailor the module to suit your SD2 setup? It just seems more complicated and more work to have to change the SDX’ mappings (even if it is with a preset) as you use them, than the e-drum modules MIDI settings just the once.

Am I making sense here? I feel like people are wondering what I’m going on about

In the days of samplers (eg Akai) we used to use a DrumKat for hand percussion playing.

As far as I can tell you it is still very much current with spares and firmware upgrades, etc, but very much more expensive than the available mini-controllers available today.

It also tells us that if you (planetnine) set the Open Bow to 46 and Open Edge to 26, it will work as expected for you as well.

I’ll do this for the time being, thanks John.

I.e. with the ‘E-drums’ MIDI Preset. Just to clarify, it will sound funky if you simply use the plugin Default startup mapping. Mostly because this will trigger separate articulations and not the hatsTrig/hatsTipTrig articulations and so the Transmuting will not work as intended with the CC4 foot control.

BR,
John

Yes, I’d got that far, and could tell it was triggering discrete articulations, John.

I was getting good, clean, smooth CC4 values from the pedal travel and was in the process of setting the bow and edge hits to hats trig MIDI numbers when the foot pedal started giving me snare hits on “chick” and closed hits giving me toms.

Reading the manual then revealed to me that open and closed hits and the pedal close switch were tied together in fixed note separations. I know I can set a module to operate the default SD2 mapping if I can set these notes (done it with a TD-30). Unfortunately I can’t with the TD-4. I’ll have to use the “e-drums” SD2 MIDI mapping preset for now and tweak, until I can locate a TD-9.

Many thanks for your help John.
