new toy = new problems

[Prototype]

Hello All! I have recently added the Korg Electribe ER-1 (drum machine) to my set up. And I thought it would be so cool if I could get the ER-1 to trigger sequences on my TD-10. Yeah the TD's sequencer sucks ass, but it is the only one I've got!

SO I set the rim of tom 3 to start a one shot sequence, by changing the MIDI note # to match the one that the Electibe is sending out I thought it would re-trigger the pattern each time the electibe pattern looped. This way when I switched patterns on the electribe the TD-10 would also play the proper pattern. Well it didn’t work... this really killed my buzz.

ANy thoughts?

Are you using a stock TD-10 setup? Or are you using the 'shack method to get multiple triggers out of the tom channels? As far as I knew, the Tom channels didn't process rim shots. (I'm assuming you're using a PD-120 pad)

While the PD-120 is equipped with two piezo triggers, the only place a rim piezo works is in the snare input on the TD-10. Tom 3 & 4 may as well be single trigger when using a PD-120. You would need to plug in a PD-9 or similar to get your set up to work (assuming we aren't getting into anything exotic like "Feefering" (hey, I coined a new term in Chris's honor! ).

Excellent idea. It should definitely be called feefering.

Yeah, it's not really about having an extra pad. It's about triggering a sequence with an external sequencer. I assigned the rim of tom 3 to trigger the pattern so that it would be impossible for me to accidentally strike the pad and then trigger the sequence out of time.

It is really strange, if I hit preview the sequence will start, if note chase is on I can see that the rim of tom 3 is defiantly being played. It's only when the external sequencer plays whatever note # is assigned to the rim of tom three, the TD10s sequencer doesn’t seem to notice.
