I have the basic edrumin 4.
Quote from: JRage on February 07, 2024, 08:34:29 AMDo I understand it right, that for kick you can use any of those standard trigger inputs and don't need extra pedal input? Do you know if pedal input can be used to connect some 3rd party hihat to 2box module?
Yes you can use any input for whatever pad you want but for the pedal input you can just plug in a hihat controller, you can connect any 3rd party pedal yes but why don't you connect it directly to the 2box? it's easier to setup.

Quote from: JRage on February 07, 2024, 08:34:29 AMIn what edrumin setup would midi-in port be necessary?

In case you want to connect another module to the 2box to add more pads and change the notes independently.

Yes I understand that but what I mean is that when I trigger the 2box midi note for foot (B2) through the midi in port ( no physical hihat connected to the hihat input) the 2box sounds the splash sound, whereas in every other module I've played the foot note triggers the chick sound. I wish the 2box did the same.

And also, what was your reasoning behind not allowing to change the midi notes for hihat/cymbals independently?
#5
So the plot thickens, I just checked with my roland digital hihat and it does the same with the roland td-27 module! playing a full open sound it keeps ringing when pressing down the pedal slowly! so maybe it is the way a real hihat sounds? I haven't played acoustic in years so I don't know.

The only thing now I wish had been implemented in the 2Box OS is just the sending of a chick note instead of a splash note, the "foot" note B2 now sends the splash sound and not the chick, I wish it was the other way around....
#6
Well I just understood what the OP meant and I confirm it, when playing a full open hihat (CC4 Value 0) and then pressing the pedal slowly the full open sound keeps ringing until it reaches full closed position, it doesn't have to do with the pedal or splash note as I filtered the note off and the same happens.

So back to pootube for videos and demos. I started big, or so I think, I put positional sensing on the 2Box Drumit 3, full positional sensing, not only edge sounds like other modules, but true Center, Off Center and Edge sounds.

1 member has joined, wow, LOL, anyway, there's a 50MB video upload limit with the free account, more than that you have to pay off course, so no more videos there, just messages and pics...

I just put a video on the discord server showing this

I just created a Discord server to share some videos and tips on how to use your 2box module efficiently, youtube sucks big b**ls so discord is a good alternative to share videos and messages quickly. Join in! https://discord.gg/YxnxjFnt

Quote from: kenjwright on January 29, 2024, 08:30:31 PMNice! Opposite of what I was trying to do originally but eventually I'll likely need the same for my 2box. The EP is definitely a great little unit! The programming interface could use an update though!


What are you trying to accomplish? Do you want to trigger the 2box with some other module, which one?
#12
And if you use the toms rims already for other things you can use the midi note of the bell of the crashes if you're using 2 zone pads
#13
This works with any 2Box module and any edrumin connected to the 2box via midi in, you need to connect your center trigger snare to the edrumin and set the positional sensing to note instead of cc data, then you take your edge samples and assign the edge sound to an unused articulation or midi note of the 2box.
Via midi in from any device you can trigger any sound you like as long as it sends/receives the same midi note. I haven't counted the amount of midi notes but that's the amount of sounds you can trigger via midi in.
You don't need a DAW  to do this, just a 2box module and an edrumin
So in short:

Export the snare edge samples in SDSE using the extra articulations set to "all" in the Zones tab.

Connect your center cone pad to the Edrumin, calibrate it and then connect its MIDI out to 2Box MIDI in using a midi cable.

Look for a midi note that you're not using like a tom's rim and set this note in the edrumin pos sense setting

Assign the edge sound to this midi note in the 2box

Enjoy

Quote from: kenjwright on January 29, 2024, 07:17:08 PMHi Edcito! I had a similar need for timing (convert note to aftertouch pinch/release) and reached out to MIDI Solutions support. Unfortunately (at least at that time) the response was that the Event Processor does not provide any type of pause/delay event.

Too bad though! Could easily(?) solve some of these kinds of issues.

Cheers!

I bought it and now I can choke my 2box cymbals via midi in from a roland td-27, I spent 5 minutes max to program it to convert the roland aftertouch to the 2box choke note.

I have a spare roland FD-9 so I connected it directly to the 2box and will use it to trigger splashes using the same hihat notes. Also the TD-27 has a gate setting that helps filtering the note off event so you don't get always chick and splashes at the same time.

Cheers!

Hi Ken, any idea on how to accomplish this using the Event Processor? Since 2box doesn't have a note for the splash how can I achieve for it to trigger a chick note 47 and a splash note 47 as well? I can't find a setting that uses time in the event processor.
