Roland TD3 > Addictive Drums Mapper

InGuN · 11-09-2008, 07:11 PM

Hi there,

Here are some JS files made for use with the Roland TD3 and Addictive Drums. Just insert TD3-KickSnareHHToms-AddictiveDrums and TD3-Cymbals-AddictiveDrums before Addictive Drums and you are done : )

Foreach TD3 input, you can easily select which AD output you want to use. The ride bell is working, and tom rimshots can be dynamicly fired if needed (not available on the TD3).

I had to make 2 files, one for Kick, Snare, HH, Toms, and another one for the cymbals because only 16 JS Sliders are allowed in one file (23 total).

In the extended versions, each TD3 event can be mapped to any AD key, but I had to make shorter versions because the extended ones were causing some audio glitches on each load (at least on my comp), which is quite annoying. The JS engine doesn't like sliders with a bunch of labels... I'd have like to dynamicly generate the labels instead of copy/pasting everything, but I don't know if it's possible with JS.
Anyway, stick with the normal versions unless you need some weird routing.

The files can be easily modified to be used with a TD6 or anything else.

Have fun

InGuN

EDIT : because both files must be loaded, and both are catching midi events, the second one may override the job done by the first file. Stick with the standard ones TD3-Cymbals-AddictiveDrums and TD3-KickSnareHHToms-AddictiveDrums (in that order !) for a painless experience

I'll check it out, it'd be cool if I could reroute the midi from my ion electronic drumset into different midi notes.

RunBeerRun · 11-22-2008, 11:50 AM

I finally tried this out, pretty cool. I could easily open it up and recompile to reflect what midi destinations I want.

It'd be cool to have a version just for midi remapping.

Tried the files out, and they work perfectly! Now I'm jamming my v-drums with Addictive with no midi fuss. Thanks for the great addition.

Ripper, thanks for the post over on the XLN Audio forum that directed me here. I'm going to try this out with my TrapKAT with a Roland mapping loaded.

(Does it handle chokes, I wonder... that'd be so cool.)

how do i get this into reaper - do the files go into the plugins folder?

proto · 06-30-2009, 10:42 AM

ok very important to put cymbals txt BEFORE kick and snare txt - haha works great!

how i cant get my other cymbals working though - seems i only have one cymbal <cymbal 1> but this is really great <how to trig my other cymbals?

thanks!

TD-3 and other e-drum owners!
Another JS is available here for adavanced hit hat control: http://forum.cockos.com/showpost.php...3&postcount=24
Default input settings = TD-3, default output settings = addictive drums, default kit.
This is an extract of my 'big' e-drum mapper JS (a kind of Chaotic box' "E-Drum Midi Mapper"). Keep on eye on the JS forum: I'll release it at some point...

Hi InGun,

thats a cool tool!!!
What i don`t understand is: how can I change the input Notes of the mapper, because i use a TD 9, which has slighly different settings from the TD 3 (sorry for my bad english)

Best wishes
Mopsi

change the input notes "i" in line codes looking like "map[i]=..." or map_somethingelse[i]=..."

e.g. in the following code:

Code:

map[36]=slider1+36; // Kick 
map[38]=slider2+37; // Snare
map[40]=slider3+37; // Snare rim

replace 36 with your kick input note, 38 with snare head, etc...

Mopsi3 · 07-21-2009, 10:30 PM

I must have been blind. Thank you very much!
Do you think its possible to insert a third mapping, where i can set values for my separete tom rim and ridebelltriggers?

Best wishes Mopsi

Jeffos · 07-22-2009, 01:28 AM

of course. Just complete the map[] with your additionnal input notes (as indexes) + new silders (as output values). Then release it

mrtnskoog · 10-13-2009, 10:31 AM

I'm trying to get this to work on a Yamaha DTXPLORER kit.
It works but i can't get the hi-hat to play closed notes (when the pedal is pressed down). Instead of a closed hi-hat I get a sidestick-snare. WHY IS THAT?

Furthermore I don't get the logic behind the scripting either. How do i define which midi-data that is sent here:

{Tom 4 Open Hit,Tom 4 Rimshot,Tom 3 Open Hit,Tom 3 Rimshot,Tom 2 Open Hit,Tom 2 Rimshot,Tom 1 Open Hit (default),Tom 1 Rimshot}> <- Only names here?

It gets me all confused...

Is there any better way to do? Have I missed something?

I'd like to know that too.

I use Windows 7, and I put my mapping files in:

C:\Users\dan\AppData\Roaming\REAPER\Effects\TD3

I created the TD3 directory to store other related JS files I have. You could put the mappings right in the Effects directory, or any other of your choosing beneath Effects.

Sorry for the gigantic bump, but I"m finishing an EP for a band and we've opted to do the drums this way (it's effing crowdd in southern California!).

I've crated a subfolder in Reaper>Effects entitled Roland TD3 and inserted both drum txt files. They now sit in that folder alone.

I still can't gt AD to see my Vkit, is there something that has to be enabled in the VSTi I'm missing?

Perhaps it's the routing of the actual drum tracks? Are any sends needed, say from kick Reaper track to Kick channl in AD? Time is of the essence and all help is greatly appreciatD!
