You'll need to go into your Privacy & Security settings on mac, and then you should see a little option that says "Open Anyway" in there

That's really good to know! Thanks for the comment! I'll check them out when I get the chance

Yes! Head to drumelectric.co.uk to find everything you need

That's a great question! Unfortunately none that I know of, as a random generator would need programming, ironically! For an easy setup, a lot of lights come with built in patches that are random. You could pair this with a simple 'Black Out' function should you want it, where the lights go dark after a song and come back in for the next song. Would still require a small amount of programming, though

For this video, I had the triggers automated to change through Ableton. But you can absolutely use a footswitch to change it if Ableton isn't available. For the samples, they're just part of my sample collection! I've made a video on "Where to Get Samples" should you need some pointers

I've responded with the potential answer to this on the "How to Get a Cross-Stick Sound with Triggers" video comment, but you can only use 5 triggers with a different module. The SPD-SX specifically only supports 4 triggers

So yes, you can have two trigger sounds with the RT-30HR, but as you've mentioned, you're more likely to get double triggering from the centre of the drum with the RT-30HR (or single trigger) rather than the BT-1. This is an old video, so I need to look back into this to make sure all the information is still correct with today's knowledge! For a 5th trigger - you can if your module supports it. For example, the SPD-SX only supports 4 triggers, whereas the SPD-SX Pro is something like 8

Just replied to your other comment, but from my knowledge, you can't pass audio through USB annoyingly. That would be great, though!

From my knowledge, you can't pass audio through the USB annoyingly. That would be great, though!

Great question! There should be a setting on that pad that says either "Alt" or "Shot" (or something similar, I may be mixing that with the SPD-SX settings!). If you use the down arrow when on that pad, you should see more settings

Yes! Logic is the grown-up version of GarageBand

Yes!

@DrumElectric how would you do that? Would it be a matter of panning the click track to a different side so it doesn't come to front of house?

@DannyMartinMusic yep, you’re exactly right!

Happy I could help!!

Would love to know if you've found an alternative, or if the Alesis did what you're wanting. I need to make an update with all of the issues from the comments here

Absolutely! Check out my video’s on the SPD-SX Pro and you’ll find it!

​@@DrumElectric Thank you a question can we move the scenes as we want?With the pro version

@NightFeverVar yes! The Pro version is so much better than the SPD-SX version. You can even use the Pro at the same time as editing it on the software!

@@DrumElectric Good evening, the manager version does not exist for the SPD SX Pro version, too bad because I love your application that I had on the SPD-SX Limited pad. bonsoir la version manager existe pas pour la version sod sx pro dommage car j'adore votre application que j'avais sur le pas dpdsx limited

@NightFeverVar It’s called the ‘SPD-SX PRO APP’ and you can find it on the Roland Cloud. It doesn’t look the same, but does the same plus many more features

(Sorry for replying in English!) I haven’t tried it from the Wave Manager. You might be able to, as the factory reset file is the same as any other backup.

Si puedes un dia probar desde wave manager Te lo agradeceria Solucionaria no uitilizar pendrives Gracias Saludos desde chile 🇨🇱 @@DrumElectric

According to the manual it does! But I still haven’t found all of them…

That’s really good to know! I presume that’s the SPD-SX not recognising the file name rather than the file itself. Makes sense!

Yes! You’re absolutely right. So each song with go one after another and then automate the tempo, just like I showed in the video

You absolutely can!

Oooh interesting! Logic does play video but I haven’t tried it with backing tracks. In theory if you move the video window, yes!

That’s strange, I’ve absolutely had more than 1 at a time! Up to 8, but I’m pretty sure as many as your computer can handle

ur so dramatic

For this video, I just plugged into the headphone output of the audio interface. There is slight latency, which is normal for audio interfaces, but none that affects the playing or recording ability!

That would be so cool!! It’s a bit more expensive and not quite the same as it requires a laptop, but might be worth looking into something like the PlayAudio 1U. I would normally recommend the Cymatic Audio LP-16, but they’re discontinued annoyingly. Be worth looking into nonetheless as it’ll give a good idea of what you might need!

Absolutely! That’s exactly how I do it. So I’d just import the next track with a gap between, and so on until you have a full set. But experiment, see what works for you best!

Thanks for the kind words! That’s an interesting one, I love it. You can send MIDI from Ableton to the SPD-SX Pro, and with that you can do things like change the patch without touching it. I’m not sure you can trigger a pad though. Out of curiosity, what’s making you want to trigger a pad on the SPD-SX Pro rather than have the sound in Ableton and play it like that?

Almost dropped it, glad I didn’t 🤣

A great question! In summary, there’s no reason to switch to QLab outside of other people may being more familiar with it. It sounds as if your boss see’s other people use QLab for what they want, and therefore associate the solution to being QLab where in actual fact you’re doing everything you need to do on Ableton. I see no reason to switch!

Weird! Might be because they’re sending a really loud level from FOH. What you’d need to do is pan the P1 to the side your click is on when in ‘Mono’ mode. That way it’s favoured more to the click level. The only other thing you can do is export the click as loud as you can

@@DrumElectric will try audiobus to boost the signal from iPhone tomorrow. Will keep here updated. Thanks!

@@DrumElectric btw I was using 3.5mm to single XLR. Do you think having a dual and giving one to FoH would change it?

@selfupon great! Keep us updated!

@@DrumElectric here is the update mate! I tried different options. Switched to iPad and used Audiobus to boost the signal decibel for the click output. The result was amazing. Also the FoH engineer we worked was also awesome.

Thank you for letting me know! I appreciate it! What is it not doing? I’ll look to remake the video to suit its current capabilities

@@DrumElectric I just bought the pad and it doesn't run the backing tracks with the settings you've laid out in this video. I got the file down to the minimum sample rate for the machine to handle but the sound quality is barely listenable especially for in a live/gig situation. Most of the other comments under this video are also having the same problem. I've just filled out a form to return the product so hopefully will get my money back but just want to advise anyone else who may be looking to go with this product for running backing tracks in the future.

@oliverharris7404 that’s really interesting! I will have a re-think and re-programme my unit to match what yourself and others are saying. I’ll leave these comments here in the hopes they help others!

You can, but annoyingly the TM2 doesn’t have MIDI over USB (no USB input), so you’d have to have a way of getting 5 pin MIDI to your DAW from the TM2. I do this just using an audio interface like the Focusrite 18i20

@@DrumElectric I have a 18i20 and ADAT addition. I'm just not sure of the proof of concept. I see how you can control your DAW. But not sure how to configure to Midi/TM2 to use the sample

Ah right! Then if you get the 5-pin MIDI ‘out’ of the TM2 to the ‘in’ of the Focusrite. Then it depends on with DAW you use and the MIDI instrument. Then go onto the TM2 and make sure your MIDI channel is set to ‘global’ and that each trigger is sending out a MIDI note as sometimes it defaults to ‘none’

The SPD-SX Pro has an almost identical feature, so you can do pretty much the same thing

Glad I can help!!

Thanks! Check out my video “Create a Click and Cues Track in Ableton”, should be all the info you need!

@@DrumElectric 🙏🙏

This video is from 2021! But very unexcitingly, exactly the same. Not much has changed in backing track tech!

Sounds like this is perfect for your needs! It’s incredibly strong, so no need to worry about delicate things!

questions: can you use both at the same time? and comment: I think it could get interesting to control it via clips in session view also :o

Thanks so much!! Happy to help! By both, do you mean Ableton and QLab? Or something with QLab? If so, yes absolutely to all! QLab is amazing to run with anything and is remarkably easy. I run QLab with Ableton at the same time via MIDI over Ethernet and it’s great
