Title: Midi link between TD20 and Ddrum4se
Post by: ddrum4se on January 31, 2011, 07:39:33 PM
Hello -

I am trying to link my TD20 with the Ddrum4se via MIDI - using the TD20 as master and ddrum4se as slave - in other words using the ddrum sounds but playing the TD20.

I have hooked them up midi out (TD20) and midi in (ddrum4se) both set to channel 10 midi - and have managed to get the snare rim on the hi hat bow, bass on the hi hat edge, snare rim correct with snare rim and tom 1 correct - I know (I think) I need to assign different midi note values to snare, rim etc between 0 - 127 but how do I do this??

All help gratefully received - thanks in advance,

Cracked it. Midi out Roland to Midi in ddrum. Whack Roland/Boom Theory pad - press instrument, press control, press midi - spin dial (changing midi note number) until it picks up the ddrum sound you want - repeat for all drums, cymbals etc. :animal:

I know, I know. I love the ddrum4se, since I got it in 2002. Solid as a rock, and great sounding. Love Volvo`s too - must be something about the Swedes and how they build things.

Is 2Box a Chinese brand, or Swedish?
Same for Volvo
And Abba. All made in Sweden

Having some fun at the moment - I have set up my old 1981 Tama drums, and attached the DDRUM Pro drum triggers to them, and have these triggering Simon Phillips mega kit in the Ddrum4SE module - which creates a monster blended sound between the module and physical drums. Great fun and sounds.
