Although the Hi Hats are by far the best playing and sounding of any Drum VST out there, I might get it just for that alone. I did a side by side comparison of this with Studio Drummer and there is a BIG difference in sound quality and depth that EZ2 just doesnt have. I do like this VST the best so far of the new Drum VST's released this year, but im on the fence with buying it because of the lack of dynamics and thin over compressed sound samples. its missing a range of dynamic samples from soft to hardĢ - The sound samples are a bit thin and very compressed sounding, It is geared more towards modern day metal sound. That would explain how they get 3 sounds out of a two zone pad.Ok, I gave it a try and here is a very quick view of what I think how it sounds and plays with Vdrums.ġ - It was VERY easy to get up and running with my set up and had to make NO changes !Ģ - The Hi hats play EXCELLENT ! Best playing hats of any VST I have tried !ģ - Great easy to use mixer and interfaceġ - The velocity layers are not so good only if you like playing at 127.
I can only assume that the module must be looking for that threshold but not sending it on to midi.
I haven't been able to get the module to send a midi message when I hit the pad hard enough to trigger the bell. Does anyone know the most generic note for Ride (Bell) that I should sent this to? I tried 117 but it screwed up my HHC.ĮDIT: I think I found my answer in a general percussion midi map. However, if I hit the screw at the bell it sends a 48. I am not seeing what the TD1-KV is sending when I hit it hard. So trying to figure out the Ride Bell sound.

The manual also tells you how to adjust pad sensitivity and how to reset to factory defaults should you screw something up. The good news(?) is that if you hit the snare hard enough you'll get a rim shot anyway. Now in EZD2 kits (most of the defaults anyway) you will get the cross stick instead of the rim shot. Use the + / - keys to change that to a 37. At this point any part of the kit you hit/activate will show you the number of the note you are sending as Midi Out.ģ. Hit Select to change to a flashing Coach light. Hold the metronome button until the Drums button starts flashing.Ģ. But I was able to get it in EZD2 by changing the note sent by my kit as follows:ġ. There is no cross stick in any of the Roland kits. I followed Red's advice above and RTFM.įor example, one of the limitations of the TD1-KVs module/snare is that you only get two zones, a hit and a rim shot. However, there ARE ways to change the notes being sent from your TD1-KV. I think they do this to entice you into upgrading to Superior Drummer 3. To my mapping question, there's no way to change the individual mapping in EZ Drummer 2. I then run headphones into the Scarlett and I can drum along to music on my laptop and there's very little latency, I think I get 8ms. Tell my computer to use the Focusrite ASIO. It's USB into my laptop and then I run USB from the TD1-KV for the midi. I ended up getting a 2nd Gen Focusrite Scarlett 2i2. After leaving this for a year, I circled back to EZ Drummer 2 with my TD1-KV, so I am evaluating it again. I haven't found anything on the web about it and figured out some things on my own so I thought I would note it here to help someone else in the future. Just a quick follow up to this post of mine. Is there a setting I am missing to have say, Spotify, playing/using the same audio driver? I suspect the fact that ASIO is taking exclusive control of the sound is what drives the latency so low, so is there a lo-tech or hardware way around this?

I expect that has to do with the ASIO4all driver being in use for sound. I couldn't find anything in searching these forums about mapping with the TD1-Kx.Īlso another potentially dumb question, but since I am listening to the kit through headphones in the laptop, I cannot play along to music as I can through the module. I didn't see any mapping screens inside of EZD2, just the midi device which reads TD1K. I know SD2.0 gives you more options, but I was wondering if it's possible to change the triggering from the kit. I get the ride and the edge sounds but not the bell. I noticed that I am not getting/hearing the bell sound on the ride like I do with the drum module. The sounds are quite an upgrade, but I noticed an issue. My latency was a mess until I got the ASIO4all driver installed, now I get 5 to 9 msec in and out which is fine (I was getting 120msec out with just the regular drivers, ugh).

I finally got it working with a USB cable from the Roland Module into my laptop with 8GB RAM, i7 processor and the latest drivers for its RealTek HD audio card (I know, right?).

I am evaluating the Demo version of EZ Drummer 2 with my TD-1KV kit. Guys, they just released a free demo to download utmcampaignEZDrummer+2+demo+announcement&utmcontentEZDrummer+2+demo+announcement. I apologize if this is not the proper forum.
