Yesterday I just sat down with the module and went through the instrument files. Certainly the best module I have yet owned. Very impressed with the cymbals. Including the Tam Tam in the percussion file. Even the Bell Tree was nice. Most bell trees I have heard on modules crackle or distort a little.
Kicks, a decent number of sounds. I'll probably be layering those, like I have been doing with the DM PRO and DM10 together. That is a great feature on the TrapKat, with two midi outs.
Snares... I was rather disappointed there. But, again, I'll layer to get close to what I like, and see how tuning will also help. I will say, that is one thing about Roland modules: all the editing features.
Plenty of toms to try, including concert toms. I was thinking of using those for the next recording. I had a bunch of them back in the 70's.
All in all, a very sound collection of voices I should have no problem making use of.
May I ask for clarification on this, from Chaser -
Not all Incoming MIDI Notes have assignable instruments and are Fixed..Splash and Choke Notes...they are assigned to Inputs.
MIDI Notes 31 Splash and 37 Side stick along with Choke Notes cannot be assigned to Instruments in the Module.
Chokes/Splashes have never been assignable in any module.
37 Side Stick is basically a Ghost MIDI Note I found, along with how to activate Kick 2.
The Snare input when Head/Rim Hit Simultaneously will send MIDI Note 37.
The Splash MIDI Note 31..is Not recognized by the Module even if you reassign to a different Instrument/Voice and have it sent in by an external controller.
The Choke Notes are recognized..as long as assigned to proper Input.. even if the Zone is MIDI split..Ride=Ride,Crash=Crash
With -
I have mentioned/posted that ALL MIDI Notes in the STRIKE Module can be assigned different Instruments..GUARANTEED.
Is that not conflicting information? Over my head, for sure.
