Hybrid Drums Explained Part 3: Setting Parameters

In this video I go over the trigger parameters on the Roland TM-2 explaining each setting and going over how to adjust it for different trigger types.

Great video first time using tm2 and roland triggers

[@sweeptheleg6852]

This is the best video on calibrating a TM-2 with triggers/pads that I've come across so far. Most videos just tell us what each setting is for. You actually showed it in real time while striking the pad. The way you explained the sensitivity setting with the velocity going up to VEL////127 made it make more sense. Thanks

Thank you for this video, it's very helpful. Been looking for this all these years, lol.

Glad I could help

Great video. I just got a roland dual zone trigger with this module. I do a lot of rimshots and I'm getting the rim sound only and not both. Is it possible to get both sounds at the same time?

Finally!!!!!!!!!!thanks man

[@user-yj6rc1tb2x]

What have you set your output gain to? +2 or +4dbs?

[@ehrinlanthony]

I keep it at 0db. Never had anyone tell me they needed more or less so I haven't messed with it. If your mixer needs more input, you can adjust it higher.

hi, I have recently got the TM 2 and I wanted to know if to use the effects (distortion, compressor, flanger, etc.) it is necessary to select a sound from the control unit or the real sound of the drum can be used

[@ehrinlanthony]

You can use the onboard effects on either the built in sounds or sounds you import.

Is it possible to assign the sounds/pads to separate outputs? My kick and snare for example needs different channels to be mixed properly. Can’t find this feature anywhere!

[@ehrinlanthony]

The TM2 only has stereo outs. You can assign sounds to one or the other by panning hard left and right. I.e., pan your kick hard left and snare hard right. They'll come out of two separate outputs.
