Hi,
I’ve had issues with saving drum maps. I’m using a TD-9 brain with a custom TD-30 kit. On my Allaire and Hit Factory kits for exemple, I need to remap the floor toms. I do so by selecting the learn function witch I believe should be on right click of selected piece in the drums tab by the way. At least it should not be hidden under two clicks. When we use the learn fonction, remember that we probably are holding sticks so it need to be right there. SD2 had that very easily accessible. Another suggestion might be to be able to have maps for the individual brains rather than a generic Roland map. I saw a video on Sweetwater suggesting that with SD3, all Roland brains where mapped even older one but I guess it was kind of misleading. I’ve seen those individual maps on other drums software by the way.
Anyway, after customizing the Roland map to my TD-9, I then save the custom mapped preset to user preset but it does not save right. When I come back to it, the map seemed to have been saved as a duplicate of the Roland one not saving the changes I’ve made. It does bare the name I gave it and is saved under user preset alright.
Is that being looked at? I don’t mind doing custom maps for each kit but I don’t want to do it every time I sit at the drums.
And one more thing, could you put a link to the manual on the forum somewhere? It seems I can only access it through the software. You might get less questions if the manual was in here somewhere. PDF format would be nice too so I could read it on my tablet out of the studio.
thanks,

We’ll look into all your suggestions and make sure custom E-drum presets can be saved.
Thank You!

Did you do the remapping in the MIDI Mapping property box in the Drums tab or in MIDI in/E-Drums settings? Did you use the Save As option in the preset menu in MIDI in/E-drums settings? The Save As option in MIDI in/E-Drums settings applies to the mapping on the MIDI in/E-Drums settings page only. Does it save ok if you do like this?:
1. Edit the mapping in MIDI in/E-Drums settings
2. Select the Save As option in the preset menu in MIDI in/E-Drums settings (in the top left corner).

Yes that does work, I was doing it in the Drums Tab because I like to see the drums when mapping them. Also the learn function works within the MIDI in/E-Drums settings. Still not working in the Drums tab though.
I still suggest that when in the MIDI in/E-Drums settings, we can move that window to see the drums. Selecting the pieces we want to map from the Drums tab like we did in SD2. The mapping from the Drums tab should reflect the on from the MIDI in/E-Drums settings to avoid confusion.
Lastly, I would love to see a bit and obvious learn button right in the Drums Tab’s MIDI Mapping section. Not hidden in the tiny sub menu next to the Edge Articulation on the screenshot.

We’ll look into your requests. However there are more to the dual workspaces for MIDI mapping than added complexity and confusion: The e-drum settings tab is used to transform incoming MIDI to the standard of any loaded sound library without affecting the playback of your MIDI files. This makes it possible to combine your own playing with any MIDI files available from Toontrack and it makes it easy to change between different sound libraries without having to remap.

So sort of re-triggering the standard map to ensure good playback of midi files. Sorry I did not think of that and is pretty cleaver in deed. Will it also mean that if I make a drum map from Cubase then inputting midi from the E-Drums, will be remapped to the standard map in Cubase’s Drum Editor?
So if I’m getting this right :
Drums tab mapping is standard for midi files and DAW input and E-Drums is a custom map that re-triggers the standard one?
Thanks for the help,

Yes. All incoming MIDI from DAWs and MIDI devices may be remapped on the MIDI in/E-Drums settings page.
