roland td8 and pro tools issue

[Steenamaroo]

hi all,,maybe this is a silly question, but i have rigged a roland td8 electric kit up to protools(digi003) via midi interface,


my software is addictive drums, and i'm receiving signal ok,,,but they are all mixed up,

ie, hitting tom 3 produces snare rim shot, cymbal one sounds like a tom,etc.


i know theres gonna be a simple way to remap the midi in protools, but i cant find it,,

can anyone help.


thanks very much all.

It has nothing to do with ProTools, but rather with the communication between your Roland drum kit and the Addictive Drums software.

The mixed up sounds are coming from a miscommunication between your drum triggers and your sound source. The Roland kit sends a midi note for each drum sound, like C1 for kick, D1 for snare, etc. These are being sent properly and received properly by your Addictive Drums software, but you need to adjust the notes on either the sender or the receiver before you will have a kick sound when you hit the kick, a snare sound when you hit the snare, etc.

My recommendation is to do the adjustment to the Roland kit. Look in your manual under midi transmission or something like that. What you are looking for is the place that the transmitted note numbers can be adjusted. Those Roland kits are quite well equipped and may contain a note map feature which lets you specify, name and switch between different maps. If so, take the time to completely map the Addictive Drums kit, then save the map as 'Addictive Drums'.

Ya, do it on the td-8 module, easy as pi:

Press KIT,
F1 (inst),
F2 (edit),
F3 (midi),

hit a pad to select that pad,

change note numbers to anything you want.
