Device Snapshot Load Options
In the image on the right, you can see that loading this preset will only apply changes to the first pedal input. No other changes will be applied.
Loading a device snapshot can now automatically send a MIDI program change or control change. This is useful for keep different hardware / software application is sync with the changes in the device snapshot.
By connecting a USB flash memory stick (up to 64GB) to the USB host port of an ED10, you can save device snapshots to it. A USB flash drive icon will appear and by clicking on it, you can save up to 32 snapshots to the flash drive. The flash drive needs to be formatted to fat32. If you connect a flash drive that is not properly formatted, the eDRUMin will ask you if you want to format it.
The flash snapshots are just like device snapshots, except they are saved to the flash memory as an ordered list. You can drag the presets around to reorder them.
The flash snapshots can be recalled using a footswitch, so there is no need for the control application to be open or for the eDRUMin to be connected to a computer. In the picture below, you can see that the first switch will alternate between loading presets 1 and 2, while the second switch will alternate between loading presets 3, 4, and 5.
Being able to customize how individual presets are loaded, combined with the ability to load them using a footswitch, makes this an extremely versatile solution for configuring your eDRUMin on the fly.
Here are a couple of use cases I can think of:
- Simulate a clutch adjustment.
- Enable / disable sidestick articulation of snare.
- Simulate a snare strainer control.
- Change drum maps.
- Reassign pad /cymbal to a variety of different kit pieces.
- Have access to banks upon banks of notes.
1. Power the ED10 via an external power adapter.
2. Connect the ED10 to a powered USB hub using a very short USB cable.
3. Connect a powered USB hub to your ED10 host port.
Note: I have seen some power USB hubs that will send power back to the eDRUMin. While this will not damage the eDRUMin, it will prevent the power switch from working and you will need to disconnect the power from the hub in order to power cycle the ED10.
