Re: [Simmons Drums] MTM & SDSV via MIDI

2013-05-15 by Nick Zampiello

i'm not sure that the old Simmons stuff can remap notes etc. you might want a cheap midi filter or something...

i don;t have a MTM but the SDS1000 is locked to the preset midi notes i believe

Subject: [Simmons Drums] MTM & SDSV via MIDI




Hello all!

Long time lurker, and seldom poster here...

I have been searching through the old postings, but I haven't been able to find any good answers so far. What I am trying to do, is trigger an SDSV via MIDI, utilizing an MTM. I have been reading through the manual, and I can see that the default notes to play with on the MIDI side are C4 E4 G4 B4 C5 E5 G5 B5. I am really only concerned with the 4th octave notes, since the SDSV currently only has 4 modules installed. I took the 3rd TOM out and placed it in the SDSV I use for "live" playing. ( Incidentally, the unit I want to trigger via MIDI is serial #284, which I am led to believe was once owned and used by Michael Dawe, drummer for Robert Palmer, just in case anyone was interested. )

Does anyone have experience with triggering in this manner, and if so, do they have any tips that I can use to program the MTM in a quick and easy fashion? Anything helps really. The manual doesn't seem to cover what I am specifically attempting to do, but I may be overlooking it...

Thanks in advance!

Thomas
