Couple issues using alesis strike and addictive drums

Post by WAY3D »

I'm blown away by the edrumin 10. AD2 had a sale so I finally got some kits so I filled the edrumin 10 with my alesis strike pro. Before I was using the demo so I only used my snare and hihat with the edrumin and mixed the rest of the alesis kit to my headset.

Ride,
I thought I broke my strike ride, I got bell hits on bow without changing any settings so I thought I smashed the sensor, but I don't have this issue with the edrumin. However, the bell and edge are swapped. For now I changed samples in AD2 but I would like the edrumin to send the right signal so what settings should I look at?

Floor 2,
I have 2 floor toms set in the edrumin software, but the midi note for first floor tom is sent for both floor toms (note 67 off the top of my head). Again, to fix this for now I changed the second floor to the finger snap and assigned the low floor sound to that note in AD2. But it's the same note so without changing the kit piece I couldn't change the sound in AD2.

Lastly, I don't feel any dynamics currently, most likely a misunderstanding of settings on my end too. Velocity range 1 to 40 sound the same which is a too big range. No matter how I change the curve, it's always too loud below up to 40.

What pad type is it set too? If you are using the the Roland 3-zone cymbal, perhaps you have the 2 cables swapped. If you are using the Yamaha 3-zone pad type, then there's a button to swap the bell and edge notes.

Does addictive drums have 2 floor toms? Is this perhaps a bug with eDRUMin's AD2 drum map?

Hi Rob,

Thanks for the reply! I

The ride was on Roland 3 zone. I've tried swapping cables but it wouldn't register a bell at all. I've set it to the yamaha setting and now choking it also works!

Edrumin is set to AD2 map, AD2 has a 4th (and even 5th, or at least in samples) tom. I could manually map the 4th Tom to the finger snap you provided in the edrumin software. But when i select 2nd floor, both my 1st and second floor produce note. Sadly I can't upload the video explaining it better as it's too big..

I will have another look at the video for dynamics settings, thanks!

Sorry to bother you in multiple threads but I think this is the most clean.

I watched the video, I did before and realised I forgot most. I've set it up properly now. There's just 2 other issues left now.

1: when I play 16ths with an accent on the 1st, the second hit is registered as a rim hit. It shows as a hit in the most right bottom part of that rimshot graph.

2: when I play 3 pieces at the same time, the snare being one of them, the snare is not registered. If I play it too quickly after a different kit piece, it's also not registered. If I play 3 other pieces I do not have this issue. The snare does not show up in the midi monitor if it happens so it straight up does not trigger

You need to check your crosstalk settings. You can look it up in the manual or watch my video on the topic.

It was crosstalk indeed, much better now. Crosstalk prevented the snare from being triggered with the multiple pieces issue.

There's also fewer miss triggers with the rim now. I will leave it for now
