I have an ATV EXS-5 & wanted to know if I downloaded something to show what comes up when I drum,can there become a setting for ATV drums in a future update? I use 2x 13" drums,2x 10" drums,& 1x18" cymbal,2x14" cym. & 1x14" hi hat,13" kick & afaik all of these have 3 pickups except the kick has 1 I believe?

Can you please describe in what way they are not properly supported already? Are you having triggering issues?

This page doesn't seem to describe having 3 sensors:

Deleted my comment... I don’t think I understood the question.

I took the drums apart & both the 10" & 13" drum have 3 piezos around the edge. Heres a picture,I just want to be able to utilize the hardware to the fullest potential & I can't seem to be able to dial in the drums nor the cymbals to have multiple zones,only the rimshots work on the drums but on cymbals I only get 1 sound.

Thanks for the pic. I'm still not certain what the problem you're having is. You may have mentioned it a long time ago, bit I don't remember.

Just added in my response, but basically I just wanted there to be a setting that allows me to use all 3 piezos, because for whatever reason when I use studio one,& addictive drums I am not able to get multiple zones on anything only rimshots work & I can't seem to use positional sensing on drums/cymbals & just 1 sound from entire cymbals despite cymbals being 3 zone. Same thing applies in superior drummer & easy drummer

Let's forget about the cymbals for now. When you are using the ATV EXS-5 module, do you get positional sensing?

I actually don't have the module,I bought the set by itself,but I do know that ironically the ATV module only supports 1 zone plus rimshots & also p.s.(I talked to the company directly & was informed that the drums can use all 3 piezos when used with roland modules that support it,but not yet on their own modules ironically) Basically I feel like the 3 piezos are going to waste & are also hard to dial in as well as I've seen others do with different brands)

I have ATV Artist cymbals and they work great, bell sense and all. Based on your comments of getting just single zones on everything it seems like you are using TS cables instead of TRS cables. Just a guess.
