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

What are you trying to accomplish? Do you want to trigger the 2box with some other module, which one?

The opposite scenario I was referring to was a few years ago where I was attempting to bridge the gap between modern two zone Pintech PC cymbals which use an edge switch  and a ddrum4. The ddrum4 uses aftertouch for chokes and the single zone Pintechs could be choked by squeezing/flexing the piezo housing but that required your full hand (fingers underneath, thumb on top) so not too good for fast chokes while playing but still choke-able nonetheless. For the two zone PC with the edge switch the first setup I tried was using a DDti (trigger I/O rebrand) which did not produce aftertouch but did sent a second note. What I was hoping for at the time was to use the Event Processor to remap the note-on to an aftertouch sequence that ramped up from 0 to 127, paused, then ramped back down to mimic the physical pinch/release. But the EP was not capable of producing that sequence. Currently I am using an eDrumin4 to satisfy that particular need as it can send the required aftertouch.

Cheers!

Nice! 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!

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

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

Sounds too good to be true    Does it work for module in midi mode (in DAW) or also as in standalone mode? It would be quite a revolution and a new life for otherwise long stagnant waters   

Can you share some more details: which 2box module do you use, how did you interconnected Roland pad and eDRUMin to 2BOX, what settings did you use in 2box module, etc. Didn't quite get about articulation assigning to tom rim - what is it necessary for.

Thanks for innovation and sharing good ideas

Hi 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.
