I didn’t know about that. I bought the Platinum Samples at half price at one stage, but don’t use it much. I mainly use C&V and none of the other stuff I have. So I don’t really care about yet another SDX, unless it was the kit used in early Dire Straits records.

To each his own.  I love C&V myself, but the Evil Drums SDX was splendid.  I own BFD2 as well, and all the Platinum Samples stuff is top-notch.  A great opportunity missed for TT in my opinion.  Since you don’t use it, why don’t you offer to sell it to one of these people who wish they had it?

Cheers.

There’s a TMI called Megadrum that has the reputation of being much, much better than the Alesis.  They only sell the parts and a schematic, so you have to be pretty handy with a soldering iron to make one.  Lots of features that the Alesis doesn’t have, and you can have up to 56 trigger inputs or something like that.  Visit http://www.V-drums.com and do a search for Megadrum in the DIY section, and you’ll find everything you need to know about this.  But the above is right; a TD-9 would be vastly superior to the Alesis.

Good luck.

Absolutely. I love all kinds of ethnic percussion.  I think this would be a big hit.

Thanks for the response John.  Don’t take the broken English part personally, it was just worded strangely.  I pretty much guessed what you meant.  Unfortunately, I can’t get the envelope method to work for me on my edrums, but those that can complain that it’s unrealistic.  It’s just frustrating; Superior plays the best on edrums of all the VSTs I’ve tried, yet is saddled with puzzling constraints and lack of features.  Many of these features are a staple of other drum software products.  I figure unless someone takes the time to complain, nothing will be done about it.  BTW, you might was well change the name of the Edrum Workshop to ‘MOVED’ as rarely does a legitimate edrum issue actually get posted there.

Thanks again.

Considering the amount of money I’ve spent with Toontrack, this is really lousy customer support.  I ask a question and with no verbiage, get directed to a 2 post thread, and the official response is in broken English.  But I gather that some of the SDXs didn’t record actual cymbal chokes, so this feature is not forthcoming in all of the SDXs.  This is always going to be the case as long as you keep recycling EZXs as SDXs.  You need to get your best team (Chris and Peter) to get to work on some new material that will take advantage of the performance features of SD2.3x.  It was a stupid oversight to not record chokes tails.  BFD has had this feature for years.  Do you not keep abreast of what the competition has to offer?  Anyway, I’d appreciate knowing which SDXs can’t be updated.

“Others do not/cannot be updated with such support so they will be coming out last, but not to cater for mute tails.”

I’m afraid the meaning of this is eluding me.

Thanks for the reply.

Nah, I doubt Vista is the problem.  A RealTek soundcard is still a RealTek soundcard, A4A or not.  What’s the lowest buffer you can get?

Running Vista64, you’re lucky anything works at all LOL.

Seriously, the only advice I could give would be to lower the audio buffer in ASIO4ALL, and it appears you’ve already done that. 

Good luck.

Are all those cymbals in Metal Foundry?  As for an interface, a 2 x 2 USB should work. I don’t know much about Alesis, but if those modules have a soft thru, you can get by with 1 x 1.  Just don’t go cheap and snag something off of ebay.  M-audio, Edirol and a few others all make decent 2 x 2s.

Good luck.

TD-20SX?  Times are tough, eh?

I’m assuming you’re a Toontrack owner, since your on here.  Unless you’ve a tin ear, you won’t be satisfied with TD-20 sounds or VEX kits compared to EZ Drummer or Superior.  Not even remotely close.  What do you use to control your software now?  V-drums are also controllers, so all you need to do is hook your drums up to your computer and control your drum software with your kit.

Of course, I’m also assuming you own EZD or SD2, instead of another TT product.  If such isn’t the case, nevermind.

Congrats on the new kit at any rate.
