Yeah, would be interested in another cymbal and maybe a different sized snare/toms - budget depending

Hi Scottie,

Hate to ask, but do you have timescales? and also for the new OS etc...

oh and I managed to get BFD and Superior working this weekend with the Drumit. There's a bit of tweaking, but it works fine!

Not really mate....

Was messing around last night with the MIDI notes and seeing what triggers what etc... I recorded into cubase and opened the midi editor and can see where they are triggering, but is deffo not what it says in the manual!

Cool man! will await with baited breath

Nothing happened really. Still trying to sort this MIDI issue I'm having, and I've been in the brain and fiddles with things etc, so want to start afresh...

Nothing wrong with the thing itself.

Is there a way to reset the Brain to factory settings? Or can you download the original files to load back onto the unit....

Can't find anything in the manual...

Yeah I use a double kick, no problems at all... just make sure you set the beaters on the designated 'zone' which is above the centre of the head.

Hi G!

I've been atempting to get the kit working with BFD/Toontrack but been speaking to Scottie from Hand in Hand, as there seems to be some issues around MIDI notes in the documentation/unit/VSTi's...

Let me know what you find?
Neil

Hi Scott, congrats!!!

Not really, see the post above yours.... very weird....

Cheers
Neil

OK I gave MIDI-OX a whirl, a very neat little application.... my findings:

I am confused how the zoned cumbals work.... ie I would assume that each zone refers to a MIDI note? so I found that I can change the note for the 'crash' of the cymbal, but I cannot figure out how to change the note for the Bell?

Also similar for the skins and rims, I think I managed to sort this, but it;s not too clear.

Also somewhere between my kit and BFD, the MIDI notes are being transposed because what I dial in on the kit doesn't correspond woth the note in BFD learn function.

Scottie any chance of an update on this?

Thanks
Neil

to cut one thing out of the equation, i'd suggest using a MIDI spying app to see what actual MIDI messages you are getting from the Brain...

good free options are MIDI Monitor for the Mac, or MIDI-OX for Windows...

then you can at least build yourself a map of what is where while you wait for an update to the Brain software...

Ah, Thta's good thinking Fishmonkey! Will give it a whirl.

Hi Scott, any progress on this?

Cheers

[Assign the MIDI note numbers according to the Manual. Choke is not working in 0.36. So forget the note numbers in the Unit just follow the Manual.]

Hi Neil

Ok i got a reply from the guys at 2box about your question, and here it is:

Assign the MIDI note numbers according to the Manual.
Choke is not working in 0.36. So forget the note numbers in the Unit just follow the Manual.

Does this help at all to solve your issue?

Thanks
Scott

OK... tested with Kick

Opened Cubase, opened BFD, sorted MIDI inputs and outputs
Turned on Brain, went to Unit, Conf, Kit.

Here's the issue: Brian says C0, Manual says C2.
I put in C0 in the BFD map for the kick and nothing triggers, I use the Learn function in BFD and it picks up C1.

Snare is same. Brain says D0, Manual says F2, BFD Learn says D1.

So there is some confusion somewhere?

I will give it a try tonight!

Thanks Scott.
