They obviously don't distill their signal to 7 bits before triggering the program, Rob. The reason I am using SD3 is because I would tend to agree with you but I don't think that applies across the board. I would be using the Pearl eMerge with +4 db outputs in place of my current setup with the Stud...

Sure drumming applications have programs with layers that only respond to 127 values individually but this an area where the dynamic range of modules with onboard sound generation are still winning out and they shouldn't be. In SD3, in practice we are all layering snare programs that can be triggere...

In a similar manner to how orchestral sample layers are traversed using a 14 bit midi expression value I think it would really set eDrumIn apart to be able to generate high resolution velocity on CC #88 and/or be able to arbitrarily map from this higher resolution range to several standard range vel...

I wouldn't mind paying for a MIDI Expression and I would have just bought one already if they were in stock. In preference of adding more clutter to my space and in lieu of current difficulties related to sourcing components I also would not be opposed to be being charged the price of a MIDI express...

I use my eDrumIn4 for additional trigger inputs not provided by the TM-6 Pro (ie Toms). The pedal input goes unused. Additionally, I have a midi keyboard without a pitch or mod wheel. I was thinking I would be able to use the pedal input to generate MIDI pitch bend mappings for both synths and drums...
