Roland digital ride

[scoTTTimo]

I plugged a Roland cy-18-dr into the usb port in the eDRUMin 10 and it worked, but I can’t see a way to adjust any of the parameters for it. Is it there, and I’m just missing it?

I think this has been answered on this forum as well as V Drums Forum. My understanding is that because ED is USB class compliant, the Roland digital pieces (Ride, Snare etc.) will function and probably still work as analog devices. However you won't get any of the PS data because that requires a Roland module, and it isn't possible to generate that using ED (as far as I'm aware).

Maybe there will or won't be a fix for this in the future but basically you'll have to use it as an analog device, or if you have a Roland module that supports digital pieces then use that if you want full functionality. My understanding is that you can route the Roland modules through the ED so that you can get the functionality from the digital pieces, but still utilise VST and other setting tweaks, for instance, by going through the ED. Happy to be corrected because I don't use a Roland module or any digital pieces - this is just based on my reading because I was considering going down the digital route.

Yeah sorry, I knew all that already. What I’m asking is if there’s a way to adjust any of the ride’s parameters as it’s plugged in to the eDRUMin and acting as analog pad. It doesn’t show up in any of the kit piece slots like everything else that gets plugged into one of the 1/4” inputs

Rob?

Come on guys, it’s a digital ride meaning it outputs midi. It doesn’t actually output any analog signals. You can’t hack into the code of it, it’s encrypted and even if it wasn’t it would take a lot of work to descipher it.

You could probably figure out the handshake that enables the CC but that’s it.

Ohhh. Understood. I feel dumb now. That makes total sense.

No need to feel dumb, it’s not common knowledge. Looking at my message I may have worded it a bit harsh. Not my intention.
