Thanks again. I do agree about using your ears, especially since live playing is my primary use case. ("...if it looks straight, it is straight."). That said, it's good to have a tool or approach for measurement when/if things sound weird. Your recommendation is great (I have reaper), and ...

Thanks, Rob! That certainly simplifies wiring.

This is all a little new to me, so I have to follow up with one more question: what utilities are available for measuring latency in my setup?
(win 11, sd3, edrumin) ?

Thanks again.

I just got a MOTU M2 audio interface for my edrumin / laptop setup. (laptop is gen12 i7 cpu, 16G RAM. Edrumin unit is Edrumin4, v2.1.1.5) It all seems to be working together. Yay! ;-) My question is this: am I better off connecting my EDrumin unit to my rig using the 5-pin MIDI (direct into the MOTU...

Thanks loads!

What is the overlap regarding HH controller capability between the edrumin and the MIDI Expression products? Using a Yamaha HH65 + PCY-100 via DTX502 currently and looking to improve HH feel. Are the 2 audiofront devices equivalent in that area? Just found out about audiofront todays, so am excited ...
