Hope I don't run into the same issues that some people experienced when it first came out.
Ez drummer double bass software download#
Kind of surprised they'd have such a roundabout process for a software download for international customers. I sent a mail to Alesis asking them to hit me up for the download, but they didn't respond. Haven't been able to nail that midi issue yet. I'm really impressed by the demos I heard of Blue Jay, I figured I could get by the shortcomings by recording the cymbals or hats using Superior Drummer on the fly, or maybe even afterward. Some days (or nights), it just seems like too much trouble to switch on multiple devices, start up software, load VSTs, etc. For some reason, I found the mylar to be super responsive and even more playable (it was the kick drum) and I was left scratching my head because I really need to have low volumes when I play. After I was done, I compared the pad (which was converted using Hellfire's mesh head mod) to one with the stock mylar head but a cone conversion within. Yesterday, I opened up one and found the wire had parted, so it was firing intermittently.
Either that, or my modded pads are not transmitting correctly. I've been using Superior Drummer, which sounds great, but there's something really quirky in my midi setup that needs debugging. I'm comfortable enough using an electric, but I'm not so much in favour of the idea of it being an altogether instrument, perhaps because they're supposed to sound like drums.
I wasn't really motivated by the idea of having multiple kits in a device, I'd rather have one good sounding kit.

With a setup like that, why not go full on acoustic?ĭiversity210, the reason I opted for an electronic kit was mainly to keep down noise levels while I practiced. Also working on a workaround for certain kit problems, but as always, play my cards close to my chest It should be noted that some "instruments" in the DM10 have better transitions and others are not done so well.Īnyone have any tips on whether Bluejay comes out on top in this regard? I can do without a china and a variable hi-hat for the kind of music I'm playing. What I'm more interested in is whether there are more velocity layers, allowing for better transitions between soft/hard hits. I've heard that the sounds are an improvement over the stock sounds on the DM10. I'm extremely tempted by the Bluejay Studios kit these days. In a sense, the promise that the DM10 would have more sounds developed for it by external manufacturers was so essential to realising the potential of the DM10. For example, it seems that there is one velocity levels for trigger sensitivities 110-127, 85-110, 60-85, etc. In particular, I'm interested in achieving similar sensitivity to what can be derived from an acoustic kit.īut a stumbling block in this regard appears to be the lack of smooth transitions between velocity levels in the patches on the DM10. I'm always trying to get more out of my DM10. Take some time to work things this way and that to get the most realistic feel from your e-kit. The same applies for the re-trigger setting and the effects are similar. In converse, one of the shortcomings of triggers and electronic kits in general is that they don't play like real drums: having your threshold set so low that you can blast by just rubbing your stick on the head is sure to make the critics complain. On the other hand, too high a threshold could reject hits when you're doing some subtle playing. For example, a low threshold for a trigger could result in vibrations from an instrument like a bass or even the rack shaking being registered as a hit. Striking an ideal balance therefore becomes as imperative as having balanced X-Talk settings. So what is the cause of this phenomenon? One possibility could be retrigger/threshhold levels, which could either reject a hit because it occurred too fast in sequence (one of the reasons why you could get an unnatural double trigger from your bass kick when you just rubbed it against the head) or because it wasn't higher than the threshhold. And other times, it registers two hits instead of one, which manifests itself as a distorted sound.
Having uncased it from the drum shell and tapping it with my finger, i noted that sometimes, the thing just doesn't register a hit. A simple experiment with the piezo of my kick drums hinted at some interesting things.
