EZD3 + Roland TD-17: Setting tom to “None” still voices when I hit it

[BleedFunk]

I’m setting up a hybrid EZD3/TD-17 brain kit and running into a weird issue.

In other hybrids I’ve made, if I want, say, a Roland 808 snare sound from the brain, I can just set the snare sound in EZD3 to “None” and that works. The EZD3 snare sound does not trigger, and I get just the TD-17 sound.

The toms work differently (maybe a bug?), however. If I set a tom sound to “None” in EZD3, the EZD3 tom sound still triggers when I hit the pad.

Bass drum works as expected … if I set it to “None” and hit my pedal, EZD3 remains silent.

Most strangely, if I set the ride cymbal to “None”, one of the crash cymbals sounds (and animates in the interface).

Follow up question: Toontrack doesn’t appear to monitor this forum. The software is pretty expensive, do they not offer any other support?

Cheers!

BEST ANSWER

Once again going to answer my own question with a workaround.

The following worked for me:

• Leave the tom sound on “None” or set it to anything, doesn’t matter.
• Go to Settings | E-Drums/MIDI In…
• Select the tom.
• Click Mapping
• Go to any articulation that has a value, click the hamburger icon to bring up the context menu, and choose Clear | All.

Now when I hit the tom EZD3 does not voice, and I can assign a TD-17 sound to it.

Cheers!!
