Roland TD 20
Hi there!
Upcoming album recording and mixing project. The drummer uses Roland V-drums, and the TD 20 module. He has recorded to the module's internal sequencer, with a demo of the songs as playback and reference. How can I get what he has recorded on the TD 20 over to PT? I will use Superior, so I'm hoping I can get a hold of a MIDI file of what he's recorded. Thank you!

Re: Roland TD 20
And another thing - is 512MB really the maximum size CF card that the TD 20 can use, like stated in the manual? Don't know if I can get that anywhere...

Re: Roland TD 20
I downloaded the manual from the Roland website. Page 77 looks like the best way to get the midi info into Protools (or any hardware or software midi sequencer) without having to get a memory card.
If this person is long distance, then they may have to do this themselves with a computer they have access to, then they can email you the midi file. When you get it into protools, it may not be time aligned, but being that it's midi, it shouldn't be hard to line up. |

Re: Roland TD 20
We have decided to record the drums from scratch again. My plan is to borrow my friend's LE 7.4 system (Mbox 2 Pro) and his Mac mini, and drive to the drummer and record there. So, being a V-drums newbie, are there any caveats I need to be aware of, or do I just hook a MIDI cable from the TD20 MIDI out into MIDI in on the Mbox? I don't think this guy knows very much about the MIDI side of the TD20, so, are there any settings in there that we need to look at?
Thanks a bunch.

The reason I ask is that he has tried recording V-drums on an LE system before, using EZDrummer, and he swore that EZD didn't play back what he played, especially on the snare and hihat. Something about snare rolls and half open hihats and such. I checked over at the Toontrack site, and the chart states that EZD has limited support for E-drums, but I don't know the specifics.

Re: Roland TD 20
All the MIDI drums are now recorded. A friend recorded it in Sonar, and I've imported the MIDI and a stereo audio track with the output from the module into PT. Everything sounds great, but the hihat is a problem. Where the audio sounds like a 95% closed hihat, the MIDI triggering SD2 sounds more like a half open hihat. How do I get around this?
