WANTED: digital mesh pad Left/Right distinction ❗️
#1
Can a digital mesh pad be capable of consistent Left/Right distinction❓ -> I'm looking for this innovation! 👉
Is consistent Left/Right distinction possible with drum pads? ( -> just like the VH-14D hihat pad : there is the imaginary center line and we need a controller data range for the left half and a range for the right half.)
And can the regular Positional Sensing (from the center to the edge) be maintained at the same time?
A DIY guy who started to build a digital snare pad once told me yes, it is possible - but I never saw any proof for it.
It's a shame that in 2023/almost 2024 you still don't have a L-R distinction on an e-drum mesh pad -> so the sticking on a snare drum can still not be identified with e-drums (i.e. a Paradiddle).
There are brilliant drum libraries (like Abbey Road Drums) that have L/R samples available for snares and toms. It's such a great benefit to have authentic L/R sound on an e-drum ❗️
Although Superior Drummer 3 does not yet have native L/R snare samples, it can still easily be made to output a distinction using drum audio editing! 😊
Hey Roland, can you hear me!??!!
Hey Toontrack, can you hear me!??!!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
additional notes:
Listen to the sound from two hands playing an acoustic drum and/or check out L-R drum samples: the sound from your left hand/left stick is always different compared to the right.
The sound details from sticking (patterns) are super relevant for musical drumming.
--------------------------------------------------
check out the L-R distinction from the digital hihat, then you'll learn that it would be possible to play a L-R distinction this way on a drum pad as well. Btw, the center area (where only center data come in from center-to-edge PositionalSensing) can easily be 4 inches in diameter (on a 14" snare pad).

❗️ EDIT (November 2024) : L/R distinction possible now ❗️😀:
Roland V71 module: digital snare "PD-14DSX" + "PD-140DS" -- Left / Right Hand Distinction Engine ➜ The drummer's sticking on an e-drum mesh pad is made audible for the first time ❗️ 😀👉
Thank you, Roland ❗️
