Thanks for the tip on the high hat settings! The GGD video on setup with ekits and does not mention anything other than the CC note setting and CC learn, they were missing some steps you showed. This helped me out, thank you! They need you on their payroll!

[@chrisbedan]

Hahah glad it helped out my friend! Much respect!!

[@sd647]

legit this what so much more helpful than that other crap video

[@leandro123martins]

I work today as an arranger and music producer, as drums were an instrument that I played for many years, I can feel what sounds natural in a vst and what sounds artificial, I've used about 30 different drum vsts and I always thought they weren't enough to the result I expected to hear! Because in vsts this is how it happens, when you install any vst you will notice that it is good in some things and disappointing in others! The best result I got for the drum sound using vsts was using the room, overs and hit-hat from Addictive Drums and using the snare, kick and toms from GGD and the crashes use real sounds that I have recorded and add manually later. ..So the battery in the daw looks like this: Channel 1 in stereo from the Addictive Drums "ROOM" Chaneel 2 in stereo from the Addictive Drums "OVERS" Channel 3 in mono of the Addictive Drums "HIT-HAT" Channel 4 in mono from the GGD "SNARE" Channel 5 in mono from the GGD "KICK" Chanel 6 in stereo from the GGD "TOMS" Observations: In both the ambience and the overs I leave them without crahs, because I want to hear only kick drum, snare and toms from these channels, especially because the cymbals of any vst sound artificial, so later I add sounds from cymbals that I have recorded in wav manually, I usually use two, then I place one on each channel, opening their pan by 40% on each side. Another detail is that when I mix these two different vsts, I try to tune the snare drum, bass drum and toms of the two vsts with the same tuning and leave both kits without any of their original effects, I leave them both natural, so that I can add the effects and compression of my preference and according to the music I will produce to add glue to the mix.

Thanks for sharing this video! Your hi hat mapping is exactly what I needed to get my Alesis DM10 playing nice with Modern and Massive. Stoked to find this one

[@ShadyBeats27]

Hey! I also have a DM10 was wondering if you had any tips for the hi hat? When I set it up like the video the closed hat works fine but the open just played the sound of the last drum hit? so if I hit the snare and then the open hat, it just plays the snare again. No idea what the issue is.

[@ShadyBeats27]

Actually never mind I just got it! I think I had to have the pedal down when I clicked learn CC and then inverted it and that finally got it. Just it completely broke if I just did it normally and clicked learn with it open and then closed it.

[@ShadyBeats27]

And it's not working again and I'm back to square one 🙃

[@garganjua9435]

Probably just echoing the majority of the comments here but thank you for this video Chris purely for that hi-hat mapping, still not perfect but getting there.

[@garganjua9435]

Chris Bedan I take it your in communication with GGD somehow? Did you contact them? I wish they were a little more active with information for edrum compatibility not just programming

[@garganjua9435]

Chris Bedan hey dude, sorry to ask you more question but I wondering if you could help again. I’m getting static cracks and pops whenever I play through Invasion now, both in logic and standalone. Any idea why? On my snare hits it also seems to do a slight double trigger hit every time instead of one. Any help would be amazing but no worries if not.

[@chrisbedan]

@@garganjua9435 hey man, apologies for the delay! There may be a few reasons for this. First I would check the buffer rate in your audio settings. The lower the number the less latency when hitting the pads. However it’s more demanding on your PC so that may be what the clicks and pops are coming from. What I do is, raise my buffer rate until I can find a good balance of less latency and no clicks and pops! Also, make sure your drivers and computer are updated. Another idea would to see if you need to download a driver called ASIO. Google it to learn more about it! Let me know if that helped, my friend!!

[@garganjua9435]

Chris Bedan thanks mate I’ll give that a go, I do use Mac though and all I can see about ASIO is for windows? It’s annoying as I have the free version of Steven Slate and there’s not a single click or pop whatsoever. I shall have a go later at the buffer size to try that. I don’t have any issues with latency as yet either. Thanks for replying again man much appreciated.

@@chrisbedan Thanks a lot for this. I normally use SD3 and I love that one. I still would like to ue the GGD programs sometimes. But the HH/drum map thing is not exactly smooth to set up on my TD25. What type of sound is supposed to come when you hit the top surface of the HH? I sometimes get the same sound as pedal ching, or I get no sound. Isn't that sound also supposed to react to how open the HH is? Right now the open/closed only change when I hit the edge of the HH. I have Invasion, P4 and Modern and Massive.

[@chrisbedan]

Kjetil Gilje thats interesting, man! So the way I have mine set up on PIV is Hi hat closed is “tight hat” Open is “open hat 2-3” forgot which one of the top of my head. And then programming the chick and such.

Hey Chris, I have the new PV Matt halpen kit. I’ve having trouble getting the hi hat to work properly. I did what you said and it works perfectly on my pop punk kit. But this kit does not have the invert CC feature and I’m wondering if that’s why I can’t get the high hat to operate correctly. Do you have any experience with that one?

[@chrisbedan]

Awww man... i really need to dive into the other kits to see how i can get around some of these issues. its soo weird that it doesnt have that invert option.... did you ever manage to get it working?

[@HeavyDude3000]

Hey man, thank you SO much for this tutorial! I've been stuck with this hi-hat thing for two days now, and I could not figure out how to get this right. I'm using "modern & massive" from GGD, but it's almost the same mapping. But I still don't got it quit right. I think it has to do with how hard you push down on the hihat pedal. If the Hat CC position for the mapping is pushed down to, lets say to 45 (in modern & massive there are acutal numbers besides the HAT CC POS. They start at, I guess at 127 - full velocity and if you push down on the pedal goes down from there to zero. Depending on how hard you push the pedal down.) If I told moderns & massive I push the pedal to 45 CC POS. Everything below that (44-0) is not triggert. The hats are again completely silence. Any idea how to fix this? And have you experience with EZDrummer2 from Toontracks? Is it easier there to get the hi hat to work right?

[@chrisbedan]

Hey man, apologies for the delayed response! for some reason im not seeing these notifications. Anyways, i did have this problem for a while on the roland kit i was using.. what i found out is, is that there is a "hihat calibration" menu in the brain. I want to say its in the "trigger' settings. once i did that, it helped out a TON! You can also customize it to your foot pressure! i havent actually setup the kit to ez drummer or superior so im not too sure on those settings unfortunately... Let me know if that helped out!

Hey I'm using one kit wonder, and everything has worked except for when i click the learn cc button i don't get any action on that meter. I set the tip and pedal, and those are working, but ya there isn't any signal in terms of how open or closed the pedal is. kit I'm using is alesis surge. Thanks in advance for any help!

[@chrisbedan]

Hey man, so you will notice when you add pressure to the HH pedal there is a little meter that shows you the pressure. That is basically the threshold of which hh will be triggered. (For example, half open is HH open 2) Hope that helps!

[@hugostiglitzracing866]

Does anyone know how to get the hi hat to be not completely open? Like I followed your instructions and got the hi hat working correctly but I have no control over how open it is unless I physically adjust my hi hat clutch which us tricky to do because it's super sensitive. Also it seems like ggd doesn't save your hh calibration in your mapping file which sucks. The samples are incredible tho.

[@chrisbedan]

Hey man, what helped me was Calibrating my hi hat inside of the Roland module. There is also some adjustment inside of GGD to help with that in the settings.

[@hugostiglitzracing866]

@@chrisbedan I used my module calibration to lower the clutch just below full open and it does sound better I couldn't figure out the HH CC note slider in GGD but maybe there's a configuration file I can alter to limit the HH position

Hey Chris! Not sure if you still check comments on this video or not but I was hoping you could help me fix my hi hat issue! My kit (Alesis DM10) only sends one midi note regardless of how it is played so I can only set the CC and pedal note. When I play a closed hat, it works fine. But if I play an open hat with no pedal use, it just plays the last drum that was hit? So if I hit a snare and then an open hat, it just plays the snare twice.

Also now for some reason I cannot get the td50 to talk to GGD. I followed your set up but the td30 may be different. Just a very frustrating situation trying to get this set up. The only reason I bought GGD is because I want to use their sounds with the Roland

[@chrisbedan]

@@msalois42 I’m sorry you’re having issues brother. I had to struggle with it for a while to finally get it going. Told myself I would make a tutorial if I ended up getting it to work. I almost gave up! Few questions. Are you seeing you TD50 as an audio interface? Also, where is your buffer rate set to? Also also, what Daw are you using?

[@msalois42]

@@chrisbedan yeah it’s been a struggle and admittedly not my strong suit but I need those drums sounds in my life. I will regroup and hope I figure it out

[@lowaimnobrain]

No matter what i do i cannot get my td17 and VH10 to play nicely with GGD. If i touch the hi hat pedal, the kick drum fires 100 times. Even if: 1) I completely clear the mapping 2) I change the midi note to something completely unused in the td17 module 3) its working fine in EZ/Superior drummer Any ideas whats going on? GGD dont offer refunds or much help lol

[@kalkiavataradeluna9226]

Great video dude! But i can't find the TD-12 drive =/ There's a way to use your tip with previous modules? I 'm already send a email to the GGD support and they send me your video to fix the "choke problem". But even your great video, don't solve my choke problems. lol Anyway..congrats for the video dude!

[@chrisbedan]

Hey there! apologies on the cymbal choke issues.. I havent actually dove into figuring out how that works. I know there was someone on here that was talking about it, but im not completely sure how they went about getting it configured. If i still had my E-kit i would totally try and find a way to get that working. I hope you find something soon, my friend! Much respect for the support and for leaving a comment!!

[@0tipp]

Awesome man this is great. Is there a version of this for GGD Modern &Massive? The Hi Hat in M&M doesn't have the edge or pedal options that invasion has. Wondering if you'd tried that?

Hi man I have question about turning the module into an audio interface/headphone amp? Are you going midi out into an audio interface already or are you going Usb into the computer then using your headphones into the computer I don't get how you get the audio from the module I tried downloading the driver for the Roland but its not there on the audio settings In logic It's not a massive issue as go plugged into the computer but I like this idea of using the module. Great video by the way Cheers Kye

[@chrisbedan]

Hey there, thanks for your question! So i'm actually going straight in via usb and using the module as an USB audio interface and plugging my headphones directly into the "headphone" output. What Roland kit are you using? im not entirely sure if all the modules work as an audio interface, but i dont see why it wouldnt. To verify if it works, you should see if in your system sound settings. You should be able to goto KZbin and hear the audio from your modules headphone output. let me know if that makes sense, and how i can help further!

[@kyephillips5488]

@@chrisbedan Thanks for the reply so I'm using the VAD 306 kit that comes with the TD17 module. I followed the steps but the driver doesn't come up on the settings of the audio settings which is odd so I don't know if I'm being honest. I'm using logic Pro X is that a issue?

[@rubenbarbosa4635]

the volume i get out of the interface is to low while using GGD with the td17, why is that? i push the volume up on the interface and its still low, but in the DAW is near clipping, is this because of the midi thru usb or should i connect the td17 ony with midi cables thru the interface?

[@tomgrunig3161]

Sorry the "learn" mode keeps blinking all the time, like KONTAKT doesn't get information. The thing is - the wrong sample i s playing but nothing else happens.

Hi there,I'm trying to do the same but using Halpern's signature pack,but can't find the mapping setting, also on Logic Pro, Logic detect my drum(td-17) but kontak doesn't seems to.

[@Laened]

Great tutorial. Of course another hi-hat question - I'm using a Roland VH-12SV hihat on a TD-20sx setup (midi out only, not midi to usb like later models), and this gets the tip working for the hi-hat, but not the edge. Seems like the edge takes up the same midi note as CC (A#1). Have you figured out how to get the edge working or is this only supported on later models?

[@drylakedrummer]

First and foremost, thank you so much for the video! It seriously helped me out tremendously. However, I was wondering if you could provide some insight as to possible cause for latency issues? Finally got it to work on my Asus gaming laptop, which should be sufficient to run it, but it started lagging, so I switched it to high CPU scaling and still getting some latency, making it kinda hard to play.

[@DLCoker666]

Try adjusting block size in your audio device settings in your daw. Decrease the number for less latency

[@HP-7]

Hey, I got a problem; when I go to settings and start to press record for every individual drum peace, the program doesn’t register any hit of my e drum kit (td27 kv). I use GDD M&M and I’ve already set it up within fl studio, where my drum kit is registered and ready to record. I don’t know why it doesn’t work to trigger the sound of the Sounds of M&M with my drum kit. Do you got any recommendations or solutions, which could help me out? Would appreciate your help!

[@chrisbedan]

Hmm that’s weird... one thing I can think of.. You may need to change your input to Omni inside GGD. Shoot me a message on Insta and I can see if I can get you a screenshot.

[@HP-7]

Do you know if this can be done within Ableton Live?

Keevin Stutheit thanks for the question, man! The answer is yes, totally! It’s probably a little less technical compared to Studio one, because Ableton Live usually auto detects midi devices! If you have questions, man! Lemme knoowwww!

[@AnOldHubcap]

So you dont need an audio interface to do this? Its just the one cable from the module to a pc?

Hey man apologies for the delay! Yeah, with the roland modules, it acts as your "audio interface", if that makes sense!
