Two eDRUMins - Change Banks of the other unit?

[dsteinschneider]

I have successfully been cycling through a number or SDX/Kit changes in Superior Drummer using a momentary switch plugged into my second eDRUMin. The footswitch is set to send a program number which my VST host software, Cantabile responds to by loading that preset number which causes a "snapshot" to load in Superior Drummer. The snapshot is all the settings current in Superior Drummer when I save it to a Cantabile Preset slot.

My next project was to try Perceval's suggestion to use Bank Change to cycle through 4 banks - Bank 1 has snare note at 38, Bank to has snare note at 37, Bank 3 snare note at 38 and Bank 4 snare note at 37. This works with a kit that has an additional snare with snares off set to note 37.

I can solve the following issue in Cantabile but wanted to ask here about pure eDRUMin functionality. I guess I have to move my snare to same eDRUMin unit I have the momentary switch attached to. Is there a way to send the bank change to the other eDRUMin? I'm guessing probably not and I'm fine with moving the snare to the other unit but thought I would ask here first.

I' moved the snare to the unit with the momentary switch connected and my bank changes are working

Are the units only connected to the computer's USB, or are they daisy-chained via midi from one to the other?

I doubt it would work if each of them are connected via USB only, but it may if the units are connected via the MIDI connectors.

Unfortunately one eDRUMin can't directly commicate with another, so there's no way to have bank charges span both units.

I didn't think eDRUMin 1 could change the bank on eDRUMin 2 but posted just to make sure there wasn't some way to do it.
