Roland "PD-140DS / PD-14DSX" Digital Snare ↔ drum sampler translation: making 2 articulations ( ∙ Rimshot -vs- RimClick or Sidestick ∙ ) available from rim strokes: Rimshot playing method -vs- rim alone 😀👉


There are only 3 different midi notes that are transmitted by the digital Roland snare pad "PD-140DS / PD-14DSX" -> so by default there is no chance to get the Rim Only (or Sidestick - if your drum sampler does not provide an additional 'Rim Only' sound) articulation from striking the rim and the Rimshot articulation from striking the head and the rim simultaneously ( = authentic Rimshot playing method) because both types of striking share the same midi note. 🙁

➡️ So I've built a fix to be able to trigger the Rimshot vs. Rim Only (or Sidestick from striking the rim alone) on your digital Roland snare 😃 -> you'll be able to play this fix feature with all your drum samplers (even those that are not as powerful as SD3 in terms of trigger translation)



ENJOY ❗😊
