Greetings! I recently tackled the challenge of incorporating Addictive Drums (v 1.1.1) into my arsenal of sounds but I have one nagging problem--pad sensitivity. My setup includes a DIY e-kit (roland cones, Hart Magnum heads), Roland TD-8 module with MIDI connected to my Macbook via M-Audio Midisport Uno and M-Audio Firewire Solo interface for output. I host AD on GarageBand, and it works for me. I was pretty successful using it in a live situation, although I think my bandmates are leary of a crash [I have a Mac, not a PC guys!
]
I really like the sounds and the increased responsiveness of the snare in particular, and the toms and cymbals sound great as well. My issue however is with the Ride. My cymbal pads are all CY-8's with the sensitivity set at 10, threshold at 0, and scan time at 1.0 (for my Ride). I really have to pound the heck out of the ride for it to trigger and even then it is fairly inconsistent. I tried to increase the sensitivity, all the way up to 16, but it didn't seem to help. Do I need to adjust a combination of parameters to get the right response?
Any help is greatly appreciated!
