eDRUMin version 1.3.1 BETA

[monospace]

When I connect the ED4 by itself, all 4 inputs trigger randomly. I use a low Threshold (as low as I can get away with), but this does not happen when I connect the ED4 back to the host port on the ED10.

That's a testimony to how clean and noise free the power supply on the ED10 is! You might notice that the noise drops out when you close the control application. There's a lot of data that gets passed back and forth between the hardware and software which ultimately results in internal noise.

I'm just noticing some minor cosmetic glitches, most notably the Gain and Thresh display randomly disappearing from the UI. (Without even having used the Calibration feature.)

Fixed for the next build.

what about mesh pads with side sensor? I guess the calibration method is optimised for pads with center sensor?

Should work fine, but again I would avoid the sensor area. Are you seeing troubles?

Can the new procedure be written into the UI somehow?

I've thought about doing something like that, but it's a lot of work. I think I'll instead imbed links to YouTube videos to help explain specific features. I just need to find a way to do it elegantly without creating any clutter.

Got it. It did indeed go away without the control app open.

I did move some of my inputs to the ED4 (hats, snare, kick, and ride) so I could bring just that unit for use on a small travel kit. Should I bump up the Tresh on those inputs, or does it not matter if the control app is not active?

No, just recalibrated my side mesh pads and I just had to increase the gain a bit, they feel as natural as my center sensor DDT snare which before this update was on gain 5.5 and after it dropped to 3.5 and triggers perfectly.

Changes in build 10

• Fixed disappearing labels from previous build.
• Presets will now change the input mode, unless the mode is set to Dual Mono.
• Factory presets will now also send velocity curves.
• Updated Factory Presets
• Updated the manual.

If there are no issues with this build, then I think version 1.3.1 is done.

I moved my hihat (cymbal & pedal) to my ED4, copied my old settings, and I’ve been noticing some issues where every once in a while, the “tight” articulation doesn’t seem to get triggered, i.e. I get an “open” sound even though the pedal is “closed.” I played for a bit with the app open on the Pedal Editor, and noticed that the pedal CC curve gets grayed out at random intervals.
This doesn’t happen when I play the hihat itself, but mostly when I play Tom rolls (which are all plugged into the ED10.)

Is 'Auto-Select' on?

[Rob]

I ask because it could be that the 'auto-select' feature is switching to the ED10, so your are seeing the hihat settings for the ED10. Can you reproduce the issue with 'auto-select' off?

[monospace]

You mean, auto-select for the last pad hit? Yes, that was on. Not "auto" for pedal type or polarity, that's been off.
But I see what you're saying, that's probably what that was.

That still leaves me with the "pedal not fully closing" sensation that I mentioned and which wasn't happening on the ED10. It's been mostly fine though, but I'm going to keep an eye on that the next couple of sessions.

[Rob]

I'll move my hihat over to an ED4 aswell and see if I reproduce the issue.
