thanks for the responses guys.
i did have a chance to play around with it a bit yesterday and while i haven't managed to find a way to add any inputs, i did find one interesting thing.
- i connected my td-6 to the midi in of the strike
- connected a cymbal to the td-6 and set the midi note to crash 3 bow
- set crash 3 edge and bow to 2 different cymbals on the strike
i can play both zones on the cymbal connected to the strike and still use choke, if i play the cymbal one the td-6 i can trigger the bow zone sound but no choke.
wonder if i could diy a single zone chokable cymbal if this could be a way to "add" more cymbals without losing the choke functionality as i do when using drum splitters
Different Brands/Modules handle Choke differently..
The STRIKE Module sends "Choke Notes"
The Roland TD-6V sends "AfterTouch"
(The module only sends/receives Key Aftertouch not Channel.)
This is why some of the software Instruments choking was a problem for Roland Modules as they were expecting MIDI Notes and you needed to enable "Aftertouch"..
The TD-6V has 3 MIDI MODES..
In 2 of the MIDI Implementation charts "AfterTouch" is not sent or recognized..
I attached the 3 MIDI Implementation Charts..
There is no MIDI Implementation Chart for the STRIKE Module and I got the old "That is not Public Information" answer when I requested it..not the first time,I received the same response for the DM Dock and others.
Since only one MIDI Mode for the TD-6V sends (also receives) AfterTouch...."NORMAL MODE (Expect Sequencer)"....make sure the module is in that MIDI Mode..
More than likely the STRIKE Module doesn't recognize "AfterTouch"..without the MIDI Implementation Chart it's unknown and I haven't had a chance to connect a keyboard to it.
