Re: TD20 template for S 2

Hi Peter,

I will carry on the response here initially, rather than the vdrums forum, although it should probably be moved to the Superior support section or the edrum section.

As I suggested you have downloaded the edrum MIDI preset file found here

http://www.toontrack.com/forum/tm.aspx?m=61431

but currently you are unable to load it. If you read further down the thread it suggests you have to create a user MIDI preset before you can Manage in Finder / Explorer. So I would do that first then move the edrum preset into that folder. After a restart it should show up.

This preset will work with most Roland modules that are sending the full range of continuous controller data for the hihat (0-127) for open to closed. If you are using the VH-12 with standard TD-20 settings, to get all the hihat articulations, you will have to adjust the CC offset in Superior 2. This is because at the standard settings for the VH-12 the TD-20 only send a CC range of 0-90 for open to closed.

So to do this you need to go the instrument pane in the bottom right hand corner > select Hats from the instrument dropdown and hatsCtrl from the articulations dropdown > below there is a small button that says ‘edit articualtion only’ – press this so it illuminates blue > go to the voices and layers pane to the left > close your VH-12 hihat (tightly) and reduce the ‘hard’ value in the velocity ctrl section until you can attain closed or tight closed hihats (the latter will require the value to be a little lower).
