This is genius. Kind of the holy grail for a snare if it works as well as it looks it does.

I have an un-tameable center hot spot and have been considering a replacement for my Alesis crimson 2. Not sure if I can be tempted into another side-project at this point but...

I have the same setup, only with Addictive Drums 2. Works great, and I do remember struggling with that occassional "clankiness" when I first tried setting it up. Pretty sure that setting in SD would be a profile curve for how sensitive it goes through the hihat transition phases. So proba...

I have 2 Lemon 18" rides and they work great with 2 inputs for defining ride and bell. However, I think some of the earlier ones got wired wrong.

So just make sure you get the 2-input 3-zone, use stereo cables, and select Roland 3-zone cymbal in ED. Should be good to go from there.

Getting solid dynamics is all about fine-tuning the eDRUMin gain and velocity curve. You should get your dynamics right before the MIDI goes into your drumming app. eDRUMin has analog gain and its curve is applied to 10 bit values, whereas any MIDI application will only have digital gain and veloci...

If the signal from your pads is clipping the eDRUMin VU meter when the velocity curve is off and the gain setting is 1 (it's lowest value), then your pads are indeed too hot. What weight of sticks are you using? Just tried that and a minimum gain with curve off gets me about 25% where my normal set...

Sorry Rob, I misspoke. I was thinking of AD2 which shares velocity curves among other articulations in the same channel, i.e. rimshot doesn't trigger the same (can't be tweaked) using the velocity curve set for snare hits. I just thought if I could send a different gain level from a rimshot hit in E...

I will echo what jacko just said. I've been using the 3-zone Lemon with excellent results, despite having an issue with the first one I bought (Lemon solved it immediately and changed their production process to avoid the potential defect). For the price it's very, very good. I also went from using ...

I found it way too sensitive and inconsistent for my Alesis snare. Then again, I'm somewhat forced to use a very squished dynamic range on all Alesis kitpieces, so take that as you will. Very difficult to have rimshot/sidestick volumes that aren't wildly different in volume from strike to strike in ...

Thanks for the reply. 1) It's on all Alesis pads not just one so we can rule out any cabling issues, etc. 2) It may be something to do with using Addictive Drums 2 and may not apply on other software 3) The resistor may be the way to go but I haven't tried it yet. It's not a velocity issue but rathe...

If, like me, you hardly ever play sidestick and you find the sidestick sound quite jarring when you accidentally hit your rim the wrong way... Change it to a rim click sound! It sounds much more natural. And with the Bank Switch option, it's easy to go back and forth if you so desire. Assuming you'...
