Anyone add a cymbal set up?

Thinking about trying something like this:

Tried searching the forum but didn’t come up with much.

If I ran these and my gen 1 SP’s through my typical Presonus interface, and used Ableton, are there any hurdles I might expect to run into?

I use my Roland kit as a Midi device and you can select your Midi device as a filter source on V2. The one hurdle I’ve run into, and have yet to discover a workaround on, is that you cannot seem to filter further than the entire device. No ability to select which incoming notes trigger specific samples etc, that I have found yet. If I have been missing something obvious, or if this is simply not a feature yet, I would LOVE to hear from the support staff

I tried the Magnatrack magnets on my Gen cymbals and they performed horribly. Sorry. I am using some extra dry and thin Byzance cymbals which are louder than all the perforated cymbals out there, but they sound great and you don’t have to hit hard.

Hi, can you be a bit more precise? The SP doesn’t have a midi in, as I understand you connected your Roland module IN SP2?

my apologies on the long response time. i havent been on here in a while.

i connected my yamaha dtx via usb to my laptop and selected it as a midi input. i use that for the hihat so i can have an open and closed hihat on the same pad of the dtx12. using midi note control assignments. utilizing the same method i also assign my own selection of samples to the dtxmulti12 pads from sensory so everything happens within the software. even an additional dtx snare 3 zone pad i have some fun samples triggered from as well.

for the rest of my cymbals i a using simple contact mics plugged into open inputs on the sensory interface. same for my kick drum pad. so i don’t have to waste money on a sensor for a simple kick drum

using stereo 1/8" to mono 1/4" TS only the ring side for the signal the tip side is left empty
